Catskills Mountain House is a 2,475-square-foot residence designed by architect Suchi Reddy, nestled in the wooded landscape outside Woodstock, NY. The house was designed to enhance embodied serenity offered by nature. It incorporates principles of neuroaesthetics, the field of science researching the cognitive and physiological underpinnings of the aesthetic experience. Integrating the field's findings, Reddy conceptualized the Catskills Mountain House as a restorative environment conducive to enhanced mental health and sense of beauty.
Rooted in Reddy’s pioneering neuroaesthetics-based architecture philosophy, "Form Follows Feeling", Catskills Mountain House is a tactile, light-filled, and emotionally intelligent environment that prioritizes human-scale proportions and intuitive sightlines, drawing the eye outward toward the surrounding mountains and forest while bathing the interiors in natural light. Views, light, materiality, and spatial flow are carefully calibrated to support calm, create connection, and allow discovery and wonder. The architecture opens into its environment with gentle grace, with stepped volumes that negotiate the sloped site to keep a low profile.
Materials were chosen not only for their beauty but for their sensory qualities—warm woods, soft surfaces, and finishes that invite touch—creating an atmosphere that supports both focus and restoration. Designed in close collaboration with the family, the home integrates personal inspirations while maintaining a serene, cohesive environment. The family’s two young daughters contributed drawings that inspired the design of their personal spaces. The result is a residence attuned to its inhabitants: a nurturing setting for children, a restorative retreat for parents, and a home deeply in sync with its natural surroundings.
As one of the leading architectural voices in neuroaesthetics, Suchi Reddy demonstrates how environments can enhance human experience on a sensory and emotional level. Catskills Mountain House is a quiet, powerful example of that vision—a sanctuary that supports flourishing.
