High Ridge Residence
Pound Ridge, New York

In response to the program, the design reveals and underscores aspects of the natural site previously unexplored. A series of stacked stone and concrete walls, building volumes and terraces frame views and create a new promenade, reinterpreting the experience of the site. Within the space, a parabolic curve, used in multiple syntaxes, creates varied textures of natural light. Public and private have been redefined and, layers of interstitial space have been formed in what was previously an austere bipolar organization. The spatial scale and section of both interior and exterior spaces continually varies throughout the experience of the architectural promenade, moving within, without and through the forms and planes.
