Located on a wooded property some 80 miles north of New York City, the Pond House is the weekend hangout for Kyle Page, founder of Brooklyn-based architecture firm Sundial Studios and his family. Perched atop a concrete plinth, it features weathered steel cladding and blackened cedar siding. Glass doors and a covered porch stepping down to the pond add another dash of indoor/outdoor synergy, while the interiors are awash in natural materials like sugar maple and fallen ash.
Page made the headboards and shelves out of sugar maple sourced from the property.

The back of the home and gable ends are covered in blackened cedar.
Glass doors and a patio with steps leading down to the pond create a seamless, indoor/outdoor living experience.

The Pond House has a standing-seam roof and wall panels made of Cor-Ten steel that throw the forest around it into relief.
