There are open and closed buildings. Bounded and unbounded spaces. Flowing forms and linear structures. The idea for a house in this vast landscape in Millbrook, 140 km north of New York City, was to combine these different qualities to create a unique form, bespoke to the location and task.
Under a sweeping, curved concrete roof, semi-circular rooms with orthogonal shapes merge into a hybrid spatial structure. A house without corners and edges, closed and open at the same time. The building is positioned on a prominent site, continuing and completing a rock formation, with sweeping views of the Catskills and Hudson Highlands. It is a very special home on a very special site.
