modern loft living in a private woodland setting
this striking glass and steel residence rises from the woods like a piece of sculpture, pairing industrial structure with natural form. built in 1994 and inspired by brutalist design, it combines a steel framework, concrete foundation, and log-stack cladding—an unexpected fusion of raw geometry and organic warmth. a soaring two-story glass curtain wall anchors the facade, flooding the interiors with light and blurring the line between architecture and landscape. inside, a three-story steel and concrete staircase connects open living spaces with exposed beams, maple flooring, and clean industrial detailing. the varenna-poliform kitchen with sub-zero, bosch, and boffi fixtures sits at the core, overlooking the living area centered on a wittus trendline-2 wood stove. upstairs, the primary suite features ann sacks limestone finishes, a deep soaking tub, and skylights as well as an additional bedroom; the lower level offers a flexible studio or guest suite opening to a stone patio and hot tub. set on 4.3 wooded acres framed by ancient stone walls, forest, and western views toward mohonk and the shawangunk ridge, the property offers complete privacy while remaining minutes from stone ridge, high falls, and accord. nearby highlights include inness, arrowood farms, and westwind orchard for dining and live music, as well as mohonk preserve and minnewaska state park for world-class hiking, climbing, and mountain biking. kingston′s galleries, markets, and restaurants are a short drive away.
less than two hours from new york city, this is modern architecture, deeply connected to its surroundings.
