Shawangunk House

The house they purchased in 2021 had good bones and even better views: the Shawangunk Mountains rising to the south and a mix of evergreens and deciduous trees in every direction. But with a newborn and another child on the way, the traditional layout couldn't contain their future needs or accommodate room for visiting family, dinner parties, and their desire to separate playful and relaxing spaces. The proposed solution was to add a bold, contemporary volume to the rear of the existing structure that pays respect to the aesthetics of the house while bringing a modern twist.
