Working with architect Ravi Raj, two siblings crafted a gable-roofed house in Saugerties that’s perfect for gatherings.

SHED rebuilt the deck to have only two support posts, and an integrated planter faced with COR-TEN steel to tie into the front facade.

The home is currently being rented out to recoup some building costs, and the owners are considering a permanent move after their daughter leaves for college.

The cantilevered addition was kept, and another bedroom added to the second floor over the existing house. Parks collaborated with Fort Structures to ensure that the third addition would sync with the rest of the house, replicating the window placement to make them sit between the roof beams, while still meeting current code and insulating the ceiling.

After: The custom milled siding is Alaskan yellow cedar. "It was chosen specially because of what it will look like after it grays out," says Liang. "And that plays into the whole inspiration of Sea Ranch for the home."

"The design intent was to calm down the geometry of the house," says Blue Truck Studio’s Peter Liang of the renovation.

The couple ripped out the dated cabinets and replaced them with sleek Ikea ones, devoid of handles, alongside glossy white tile counters.
