THE MODERN RESIDENCE
BELOW TOP: The Ulster County House is set within a 200-plus acre water park near the Hudson River. We designed it to capture
south and western views of various spring-fed, interconnecting ponds and their surrounding mature gardens filled with native grasses,
perennials, and specimen trees. The discreet entry is housed in a stone cube—quarried from the site—which leads to an open plan of
living, dining, kitchen, sun room, and studio spaces. The master bedroom suite is housed in its own wing facing south and east toward
a dramatic waterfall feeding the primary pond. We designed the garden surrounding the house.
BELOW BOTTOM: The discreet entry is housed in a stone cube—quarried from the site— and offers an intimately-scaled art-filled
space with a framed view of the expansive landscape to the south.

"Our approach
is modern, but
firmly rooted in the
architectural context of
the area."
