UPSTATE HOUSE
Perched on 35 acres in the hills overlooking the Catskill Mountains, this contemporary family home is grouped as three interconnected volumes defined by a triad of sloped, metal roof structures.
Hillsdale, NY | 2024 - ongoing
The project is framed through a series of lenses, looking towards an archetypal landscape of mountains, ponds, forest, sky, horizon
Framed views towards dense forests, rolling hills, and the Catskill Mountains beyond
Ground Floor Plan
The house is single story + basement, totaling 4,600 sq.ft and includes 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, living, dining, office, fitness rooms, wine cave, and a 2 car garage.
The home’s understated, barn-structure profile thoughtfully nods to the region’s traditional residential vernacular. This intentional modesty ensures the structure feels harmoniously scaled and contextually integrated within the natural landscape.
The open-concept interior revolves around a central, double-sided fireplace. Positioned between the living and dining areas, the textured hearth delivers a strong sense of tactile separation, demarcating each zone with a material boundary, while providing a captivating, relaxing focal point that weaves both spaces.
