Little Round Top in Clermont offers stunning views of the Catskill Mountains and surrounding farmland. The project spans 15 acres and features a 3,500 square foot home designed to harmonize with the landscape. The residence is divided by an entry foyer into two distinct wings: one dedicated to private, quiet use by the owners and guests, and the other for social areas and day to day activities, including the kitchen, living room, mudroom, and access to the pool area. The home is organized around a central courtyard, which provides natural light to the entire house and frames breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. This thoughtful design element also serves as a water catching system with integrated gutters, allowing for rainwater collection that can potentially be harvested for irrigation. The home will blend modern, flexible interiors with natural surroundings, catering to daily living, hosting, and aging in place needs. Outdoor spaces, large windows, and natural materials will enhance the connection to the environment, promoting light, views, and tranquility. Built to Passive House standards, the home will prioritize energy efficiency, leveraging its south facing position for solar gain and protection from winter winds, creating a sustainable and comfortable haven.
