Description
The cabin is located 2 hours northwest of New York City in the West Catskills. The house was designed as a private rural escape for a Brooklyn-based graphic designer and his family. The home’s distinguishing design feature is a deep triangulated cantilevered roofline engineered to float over the wrapping deck.
The construction of the house follows the standards of passive design, reducing the building's ecological footprint by maintaining ultra-low energy use for space heating and cooling.
The effects of building this way have numerous benefits including: Much lower heating and cooling bills than standard construction, a structure that heats and cools evenly without cold or hot areas, a structure engineered for optimal atmospheric comfort, a structure that is much less depend on fossil fuels and electricity and an outcome of a resilient & purposeful build/renovation for your family.
