Compound in the Hudson Valley

Description

Designed to fit the site’s landscape and blend with the local architectural vernacular, three structures on a 75 acre lot in Columbia County, NY, resolve contradictions to provide a home for a young family of four. Simple forms are placed on the site to enhance each locations qualities. Two volumes intersect to form the main house, with a view across a valley. The guest house is benched into the land, giving it an intimate relationship with the hill, looking out to the forest and the river.
