This Upstate New York residence is a masterful study in modern vernacular, composed as a cluster of interconnected volumes clad in a warm, textural red brick. The design cleverly breaks down the home's massing, using varied gabled rooflines and a prominent brick chimney to create an intimate, village-like feel that settles organically into the landscape. Expansive, black-framed windows and floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between the interiors and a private central courtyard, flooding the living spaces with light and forging a profound connection to the tranquil woodland setting. The result is a sophisticated and grounded home that balances contemporary openness with a timeless sense of sanctuary.
