Featured Project: Custom A-Frame Home
A custom single-family home designed to serve as both a private residence and a distinctive Hudson Valley Airbnb, combining dramatic architecture, durable materials, and thoughtful details throughout.
From Design to Construction
The project began with careful planning to balance residential comfort, guest functionality, and the home’s distinctive A-frame character. The layout was developed to make efficient use of the footprint while creating practical living spaces, clear circulation, and strong connections to the surrounding property.
