HAWKSVIEW

CRARYVILLE, NEW YORK

An incredible new family retreat in the Catskills overlooks endlessly dynamic mountain views. The dramatic home is carefully nestled into its hillside context, straddling the edge between mature woodland and pristine grassland. Indoor and outdoor spaces merge seamlessly and absorb their rural and agrarian surroundings. A winding gravel driveway guides guests to a relaxed entrance surrounded by native plantings. Newly graded landforms are revegetated with billowing masses of meadow grasses, and mature specimen trees are preserved. A simple palette of low-maintenance materials forms an authentic sense of place where this family can relax, rejuvenate, and focus on spending time with one another.
