Hudson River House in New York, United States

June 24, 2011 Category: House, Residential

Located in New York, United States, Hudson River House was designed by II00: ARCHITECT. The design of this new 3-storey 6,000 sq ft single family home, situated on a sloping site in the Hudson River Valley, was guided by its immediate surroundings. The clients desired a house that would take advantage of the distinct views and be open to a number of interesting perspectives. The form of the house drew inspiration from the idea of rock split open and hinged. Its shifting volumes allow for terraced areas that present stunning vistas of the surrounding property.

The river side of the home has large sliding glass doors and panorama windows, while the other sides face the forest surrounding the property. The gray tones of local schist stone provided the color palette for the façade, composed of interlocking panels. The clients’ enthusiasm for entertaining drove an open plan for the house. With a vertical connection between the first and second floors, and the kitchen set against two exterior walls, the hosts are never separated from the dining and living spaces.
