This grand country getaway was designed by Crisp Architects together with Stonecrest Builders, located in the countryside of Columbia County, New York. As you drive down the winding dirt road, you come to a clearing, and the most breathtaking view opens up, and you have arrived.
The homeowners discovered this property and asked the architects to design a getaway destination to help them decompress after a stressful week in the city. There was little discussion regarding which way the house should face. The views told the story, and the architects maximized them throughout this stunning home.
