Five New York houses architects have built for themselves
Posted in: Uncategorized
Architects have designed these five houses for themselves in New York State to escape city life, including a Catskills home with concrete-block walls and a retreat on Shelter Island.
Spanish architect Maria Milans del Bosch who is based in Manhattan designed this two-storey home in the town of Claryville in the Hudson Valley. Built into a hill, it comprises two long volumes with roofs that slant in opposite directions.
Interiors feature exposed concrete walls, large windows and wood beams, while two grey sofas by Hay surround a fireplace.

Partners Todd Rouhe and Maria Ibañez de Sendadiano of architecture studio IDS/R conceived this holiday home for themselves for a wooded site in the Catskills Mountains.
In the kitchen is a black, freestanding Vipp counter that houses a sink, stovetop and refrigerator. It was selected by the couple after struggling to find a concept that did not compromise the minimalism of the space.
