YEAR

SIZE
5000 sqft - 10,000 sqft
A private residence composed of a complex of individual structures set on a 59-acre wooded site.
•3,000 sf Main house
•2,500 sf Garage, apartment & gym
•2,000 sf Guest/pool house
•Two 1,000 sf recreation structures
•Swimming Pool
•Tennis court
The design of this project was driven by environmental circumstances to make the best use of the site's natural features. The composition of the structures, as well as their unique architecture, were driven by site conditions—particularly, the Hudson River Valley’s lithic character, its ancient origins, and views to the resulting landscape.
The two primary structures, the house and garage, are situated at the site’s highest point, at the end of a narrow, rocky path. A clearing at the end of this path affords views to the mountains beyond. The structures themselves create a frame for this view, their combined form completing the profile of the mountains.
The U-shaped house contains a serene, landscaped courtyard at its center, bounded by a continuous glazed wall. Public spaces, including the open living space, corridor, and a spa, are located along this continuously glazed wall, through which the courtyard is visible. The courtyard includes sculptural birch trees, ferns, and a central reflecting pool. On the second level, bedrooms are located at the ends of the U-shape, each with its own unique mountain view.
Located away from the house are an oval swimming pool and a guest/pool house. The pool area's flat surface was cut into the sloped grade. It is accessed via a meandering stone path, and its isolation creates a separate experience to the main residence. Set within a deck of fieldstone pavers, the pool's irregular oval form set a few inches higher than the deck has an infinity edge forming nearly its entire perimeter. The smooth surface of the water contrasts with the textured paving and beautifully reflects its surrounding landscape. The resulting color of the pool's interior, finished in dark plaster with blue aggregate, increases heat absorption, and makes the water appear incredibly clear while producing a soft blue glow. The walls of the pool's overflow edge are finished in black tile with small projections to increase the sound of water as it washes over this wall, adding to this area's distinctive atmosphere.
Emphasizing the rich textures and colors of the verdant landscape, we employed a muted color palette for its exterior. Pre-weathered and color-body materials that develop a rich patina over time were employed. The façade is finished in a serrated western red cedar siding. The wood is treated with a bleaching oil that lightens its color and allows the material to weather evenly. Façade insets are clad in white GFRC (glass fiber reinforced concrete). The roofing is a pre-weathered natural metal colored standing seam. Large sapele mahogany windows and lift-slide doors are used throughout. Exterior hardscaping is flamed or split-face bluestone, and the bluestone is also used for the gravel parking court.
