Rhinebeck

Nestled within the wooded countryside of Rhinebeck, New York, this residential renovation and addition transforms an existing single-story home through a carefully integrated expansion that strengthens the relationship between interior living spaces and the surrounding landscape. The project introduces a new vaulted great room addition, expanded outdoor living areas, and a reimagined interior designed around openness, natural light, and family gathering.

A dramatic wall of glazing anchors the addition, creating uninterrupted views to the property while filling the interior with daylight. The new volume extends the home's footprint without competing with its simple architectural character, using restrained forms, natural materials, and a composition that feels both contemporary and comfortably rooted in its rural setting.

Inside, the renovation reorganizes key living spaces around an open kitchen, dining, and gathering area beneath vaulted ceilings. Carefully integrated millwork, exposed structure, and a warm material palette create a cohesive environment that balances functionality with comfort.

The result is a home that feels larger, brighter, and more connected to its setting while preserving the intimate character of the original residence.
