This amazing glass house is an architectural masterpiece designed by Audrey Matlock Architects, perched on a hillside in the Catskill Mountains of West Shokan, New York. This fascinating mountain home is comprised almost entirely of floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing its inhabitants not only views of the surrounding landscape but enabling a seamless connection between indoors and out.

The interior layout is comprised of 3,700 square feet of living space, offering a monochromatic interior color scheme comprised of black, gray, and white. A series of varying shaped rooms and sections offers visual interest and while the home seems divided, light still penetrates the space from every direction, reflecting off the surfaces.

The architect applies right angles to merge almost every corner of the home, and while one may surmise that this aesthetic would be austere, it is not. The soft contemporary furnishings, the remarkable beauty of the surrounding site, and the negative edge swimming pool that connects the residence to the landscape make this property more of an extension to its surroundings, rather than a collection of sharp angles.

What We Love: The elegant, yet simple beauty of this modern glass house cuts into a rocky slope with an emphasis on modest geometry and indoor-outdoor relationships. Overall, we are loving the sleek aesthetics of this dwelling, with its seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle and sensational swimming pool.
