Sitting atop the hills just outside of Hudson, NY, Twisted Ridge is a family home and guest house overlooking the Catskill Mountains. The property is an 11 acre site, but while large parcels of land can create the feeling of endless possibilities, the site’s zoning constraints limited the placement of the structure. The property had minimal clearing, wetlands that required a certain setback, and zoning setbacks. When overlaid, there was only a quarter acre available for placement.
Fortunately, the location, which is close to the edge of the property, was favorable to one of the main design concepts: capturing as much of the mountain views as possible. All three of the bedrooms in the main residence, as well as the gathering spaces of both the main residence and guest house are oriented towards views of the mountains. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the vistas, allows light into the space, and brings in mountain energy to the family’s daily life.
Another main design element of Twisted Ridge is the geometric placement of the family home in relation to the guest house. The guest wing is an ADU separate from the main house. Shifting the ADU back maintains privacy for the family and guests, as well as creates an edge condition. A courtyard houses a pool and hot tub at the opposite corner, while at the center of the geometry, a fire pit encourages family and guests to converge.
The final main design concept—a unique, defining feature of the home—is the roof. Due to the amount of snowfall in the area, a pitched roof is most effective as it allows snow to easily slide off during inclement weather. Additionally, the twisted roofs created more surface areas for future solar panel installation. Aesthetically, the undulating geometry calls back to the surrounding mountains, poetically reflecting the landscape in the home.
