Hudson Valley Extreme Makeover
Located in Dutchess County along a quiet country road, this project began with the purchase of a long-abandoned farmhouse in the Scenic Hudson Valley of New York. Untouched for more than twenty years, the structure had fallen into deep disrepair—but beneath the decay was a rare charm. It’s simple, humble form sat gracefully within a landscape of rolling fields and classic stone walls. The owners were immediately drawn to the spirit, materials, and character of the original house, even as they envisioned a home that could meet the needs of contemporary living.

Friar Tuck Residence
In this reimagined mid-century home, we embrace sustainability through authentic living design principles. By preserving the original single-story form, we create a sunlit courtyard using passive solar techniques. Prioritizing old-world natural materials and processes, we craft a healthy interior environment, devoid of artificial dyes, paints, and stains. Experience the luxury of simplicity, where the past converges with the present in perfect harmony with nature.
