Located approximately two hours north of New York City in a rural area of the Hudson Valley, the site is an open, rolling hillside with views of the Catskill and Taconic mountains. Oriented in relation to the sloping terrain and views of the mountain ranges, the house is conceived as two elongated volumes – a smaller one sleeved into a larger – sitting on a cast-in-place concrete base. Sleeving the two volumes creates three different types of spaces: the first is in between the inner and outer volumes, the second is fully contained within the inner volume, and the third is a series of outdoor spaces framed by edges of both volumes. These three different types of spaces create three distinct spatial experiences for the residents of the house. (actual / office)
