UPSTATE HOUSE
Perched on 35 acres in the hills overlooking the Catskill Mountains, this contemporary family home is grouped as three interconnected volumes defined by a triad of sloped roof structures. The sloped roof planes are strategically angled to efficiently capture solar generated power, allow passively-cooled air to flow through the house and encourage natural light to filter into the main interior spaces.
