Dutchess County House and Artist Studio Update

Construction continues on our Dutchess County House and Artist Studio, with several key milestones now taking shape on site. Shou sugi ban wood siding, installed last Fall and scheduled thermally modified wood siding at the garage facade complements the board-formed retaining walls throughout the exterior of the site. Progress on the green roof is underway, marking a significant step in integrating the architecture with its forested hillside setting. 

Inside, the fireplace masonry has been completed with Basalt and Lake George Granite stone, creating a warm focal point for the home. Reclaimed heart pine wood flooring and terrazzo tile have been installed on the floors, while strategically placed skylights throughout the interior gallery ceilings bring warmth and natural light into the house. The geothermal system heats the house as construction carries through the fall and winter. 

These updates build on the momentum of the past several months, as board-formed concrete walls, stone walls, and wood continue to shape the house’s distinct connection to the landscape. We look forward to sharing further progress as the residence and artist studio continue to take form.
