The Texas Hill House was developed for a young New York City couple as a retreat from the demands of urban life. It is located in Craryville, New York, a town at the base of the Berkshires in central Columbia County. The house is a portrait of the clients' disparate experiences working and traveling extensively throughout Europe, China, Japan and South America. One born and bread in New York and the other a Costa Rican national of Asian descent, both brought very different aesthetic traditions to bear.
