Dezeen – China Pond Passive House
River Architects replaces Hudson Valley structure with gabled Passive House
The studio built the new home from the ground up but didn’t approach the site as a blank slate.
“We wanted to maintain that sense of evolution in the new house, a decision which also helps break up the overall form so it doesn’t seem overwhelming,” James Hartford, principal and partner of River Architects, told Dezeen.
“The result is a playful push and pull in massing, resulting in unusual in-between places and quirky angles.”
