We are so thrilled to present Cat Hill, our newest modern home in Kerhonkson, NY. Anchored by a floating fitness studio, this home is a curated private sanctuary in the woods.

A number of our projects have moved from the Design Development phase to Construction Documents. This phase is often described as the part of the process during which we

Developing an idea takes time. While I learned this lesson early during my undergraduate years, that development process takes even longer when working on a real project. I thought that it would be fun to take an in-depth look at the schematic design process on one of our new projects, Luna, which we began designing

Watching a full project come to life has been one of the most thrilling parts of working with Studio MM.
