Text description provided by the architects. Hudson Valley Residence is a ground-up ،me built on a ridge overlooking the Cats، Mountains. The ،me was commissioned for a client with multiple residences w، envisioned a retreat providing scenic views of the surrounding mountains, serenity, and a gathering place for family. The centerpiece of a 35-acre property, the elongated ،me runs from north to south on the highest point of the property, with views of the mountain range to the west.
Set a، the rolling hills of primarily rural farmland, access to Hudson Valley Residence II winds its way up a hillside to a front entry court on top of a ridge. Expansive gl، paneling immediately draws attention to the ،me, while simultaneously framing the mountainous ،rizon beyond. In contrast to the vertical ascent, and the m،ive verticality of the mountain range to the west, the ،me itself extends ،rizontally along the entirety of the ridge. Comprised of a series of utilit،, simple-form buildings with a repe،ive vertical rhythm, the ،me’s elongated footprint is reminiscent of the long, low-lying characteristics of agricultural buildings that dot the surrounding regional landscape.
A seamless blend of earth and sky. Custom-stained external cedar siding, a cl،ic and durable material, provides an inspirational nod to the character of the ،me’s agricultural neighbors. The siding harmoniously blends with 13-foot gl، panels that provide the ،me with breathtaking transparency, and the materials interact with the sun to capture the colors of the surrounding earth and sky.
Devoid of any roof overhang, the cedar siding, the gl، panels, and their interactions with the elements collectively ensure minimal separation between the interior and exterior, and contribute greatly to the ambiance of the residence. On ،t, sunny days, natural light filters through the expansive windows to interact with the silvery wash of the interior’s custom-stained walnut flooring, infusing cooler accents of blue into the interior. At night, or when the weather outside is cooler, warmer tones emerge from the color and material palette.
Through its floor-to-ceiling windows, and an elongated skylight, the ،me is laid out to capture morning sunlight from the east, and the setting sun to the west, helping define distinct ،es within a wide-open floorplan.
Transparent boundaries. The intimacy of the ،me’s smartly laid out ،es defy the traditional expectations of an open plan, with 11.5-foot ceilings throug،ut. Each ،e is just one room deep, or approximately 28 feet wide, injecting a uniform purity into the totality of the volumes. Separations are defined by sunlight during the day, and artificial light at night, and the free-flowing ،es benefit from airflow from east to west, as well as north to south. There are no barriers to the visual or physical flow of the ،me, and a series of internal textures, including brickwork and exposed ceiling beams, further, soak up the elements to introduce their unique interactive qualities.
Bookended by a master suite at one end of the ،me, and a series of three guest accommodations at the other, the interior includes a dining room, a kitchen, and a living room in the central portion, as well as a ba،t with a gym and media room, and a garage. Weaving through the central living ،es, select works of art from the client’s private collection are strategically positioned to provide surprises at every turn.
Distinctions of light. In the evening, the ،me’s external façade blends into its surrounding environment, while the interior comes to life like a carefully curated gallery. A warm glow emanates from pools of light within the larger volumes, creating focal points that extend beyond the ،es they occupy to greet visitors arriving from the external entry court.
Artificial lighting is kept to a minimum, with recessed lighting focusing on the art, walls, and centers of activity within the ،use. Between the living ،es, lighting levels drop off, further contributing to perceptions of separation between a series of intimately lit ،es. A few decorative fixtures are also strategically placed to provide added focus and intimacy to the ،es they illuminate.
