From HUTS
This family compound combines a main home, garage, and ADU across a wooded, 7 acre property in the eastern Catskill Mountains, NY.
We chose to juxtapose the wooded and hilly parcel with a sharp, rectilinear entry that directs circulation and draws the eye to the glass entryway. The rear deck runs along the length of the public wing of the house. This Outdoor lounge space brings together a fire pit, dining, and perched views over the wooded ravine.
On the approach to the house, you'll see the guest cabin, the two gabled forms of the main house, and the garage with studio space. Together, this collection of buildings give the feeling of entering a charming village nestled among the pines and mature oaks. The house is positioned at the top of a knoll, making the interior space four or more feet above the forest surroundings. Each view out and through the building creates the feeling of a suspended tree house.
