It seems like fall flew by this year! The view from the office has changed from beautiful oranges and yellows to a clear view of the mountains. The sun is starting to sit lower in the sky and the days feel shorter…
The last two months of the year are always busy for the studio. We’re wrapping up a couple of construction projects and working through interiors on a new house. We’re also in the midst of Pre-Design meetings for an exciting project further in the Catskills, and are all looking forward to our offsite that starts today!
Final Photos of Cold Spring Creek House
In case you missed it, we published our final photos for Cold Spring Creek House last week. We are so excited to see this project photographed and to be able to showcase a beautiful renovation project!
We also reviewed proofs for Art Fort photos and are looking forward to publishing it before the end of the year!
In the Studio
We’ve been working on our new pool house + mudroom addition that we’re calling Accord Addition. We love sketching on Zoom to talk through ideas – even with our clients!
Quattro continues to move forward – we had a fantastic meeting yesterday walking through a first round of interior drawings! We talked about color palettes, materials, lighting and millwork. It was great to start getting into the nitty-gritty of the house and starting to hone in on the overall interior aesthetic.
We are also very excited to be working on a post-hurricane rebuild in Florida that we’re calling MAD Beach House. We’ve had fun talking about the very different environmental considerations for this Gulf-side home with our structural engineer client and are looking forward to developing the plans further!
Finally, we have started Pre-Design conversations for a new project we’re calling Misty Hollow. This is a large family property in the Catskill Mountains. We’re starting by considering different options for a renovation / addition or for a new home on the property. It’s going to be a great project and we’re really excited to dig in!
Under Construction
Over at Skyhaus, landscaping is in and finishing touches are in progress. We are so excited to see this project wrapping up soon!
At Gardiner Art Studio, work continues on the studio. The deck and pool addition is almost complete and looks great.
The steel screening for Fermata’s entry and courtyard was installed this week. The attention to detail, finishing precision and overall collaboration with the craftspeople for this element was so critical – we love the final product!
On the east side of the river, the loft trellis entryway was installed our Hilltop Pool House + Loft project. We had some fun on the details for this one!
At IRIE House, we’re installing the wood ceilings – some our favorite views continue to be of the long axis that runs the length of the house.
Finally, Woodland Pop House is bursting with color! It’s so fun to see the “Pop” part of the project coming to life.
Looking Ahead to December….
We are starting our fall / winter offsite today – we’re excited for two jam-packed days of team bonding, brainstorming and site visits! We’re also looking forward to meetings with potential new clients, continuing design on Quattro, Accord Addition and others, and jumping in on initial Schematic Designs for Misty Hollow. We’re hopefully also starting construction on a couple of projects this month and next, so keep an eye out for new construction updates on next month’s post!
