Westchester County House
Backed
up against a rolling county park, a level backyard was changed to
reflect the swale aligned with the contour of the park.
Continuing through the core of the house, a 12'-0" wide swath
was cut to symbolically continue the swale from the front to the
rear of the house.
The
tower element cuts through this terrain providing the open loft in
the living room and entry. In this open vertical space, a
breakfast bridge spans the open valley.
At
the side of the house, the exterior is brought inside thanks to a
glass encased sculptural fireplace element made of natural local
stone.
