Overview

The Lodge House, located in Livingston Manor, NY, is a second home for a client who lives full-time in Brooklyn and wanted a space for hosting and getting away from city life. The project calls on modern lodge architecture that makes the space feel like an upscale ski resort.

The Lodge House features floor-to-ceiling windows to bring in natural light and let the views remain the focal point during the day. At night, the warm, Norwegian-Finnish interior design and the massive hearth create the perfect après-ski environment for unwinding and entertaining.

Key Features

01Walk-out Basement

We took advantage of the sloped lot by setting the structure on a walk-out basement foundation. This allows the home to sit naturally on the terrain, adds 1,500 square feet of flexible living space, and creates a seamless transition into nature.

02Fireplace

The chunky stone hearth surrounded by elegant white oak millwork makes guests feel like they’ve dropped into a carefully curated commercial ski resort rather than a private home.

03Roof Design

A flying shed roof covering the communal spaces mimics the design of a typical ski lodge. The gable roof over the bedrooms adds some intrigue to the exterior and a calming sense of familiarity in the private areas.

Interiors

The Lodge House feels like a modern ski retreat, but we still wanted to highlight the beautiful nature just outside the massive windows. We did that by using heavy stone, refined millwork in white oak that we sourced locally, natural materials, and an earthy color palette that blends the exterior with the main living areas.
