a mountaintop house overlooking the hudson valley

This five-bedroom house occupies one of the most extraordinary building sites in the Hudson Valley, with an unobstructed 140-degree panoramic view that sweeps from the Tappan Zee to the north east down the Hudson to the skyline of Manhattan directly to the south. The open public Living/Dining/Kitchen zone of the house is configured as a large bay window encompassing the view to the horizon. Strategically located skylights illuminate the living room seating, dining table and kitchen island, balancing inside light with the exterior vista. A deeply overhanging porch extends along the entire Hudson River side of the house, shading the interior spaces from summer sun while allowing lower winter sunlight to enter. The garage is rotated so that the sloping roof faces directly south and is fitted with solar panels, collecting power for the owners’ pair of electrical cars. Landscaping and photography to be completed in the Spring of 2021.
