Gallatin Residence is located on a 100-acre former farm in the upper Hudson Valley. After owning the property for over a decade and working to restore the land to its pre-agricultural state, our client sought a home that would fit seamlessly within its context. Guiding principles included minimizing visual impact of the home on the site while allowing the landscape and views to become integral to daily life. Site studies informed the home’s placement near the crest of a knoll, with living areas opening to panoramic views west to the Catskills. Re-grading a portion of the knoll allowed the home to tuck back into the slope, with just a slender roofline and projecting chimney to serve as a beacon on approach. Lower level sleeping areas rest at grade with the surrounding meadow, which was reseeded with native grasses to support a cohesive natural habitat.
The entry-level pavilion creates the sensation of floating over the meadow. Though modest in scale, outdoor terraces extend living areas and support seamless indoor/outdoor activity. A limited palette of natural, expressed materials—Douglas fir siding, board-formed concrete, white oak, and local bluestone—was used without embellishment, reinforcing continuity between interior and exterior. Exposed Douglas fir beams and slender steel columns support the slim roofline, which extends to shelter outdoor gathering spaces. The home offers flexibility for varied group sizes and is comfortable for both quiet weekends and larger gatherings. Its west-facing orientation required careful consideration of glare and solar heat gain; glazing mockups and deep roof overhangs were tested during construction to ensure year-round comfort.
Gallatin Residence reflects our client’s deep connection to the land and desire for a home that is both modern and timeless, a welcome departure from the city and a frequent year-round gathering place for friends and family.
