Ancram, NY
Set in rural Columbia County, NY, this weekend home has dramatic Catskills and Southern Berkshire views. Conceived as a simple box within a box, all baths, closets, laundry and kitchen are organized in the center of the plan with primary rooms- living, sleeping and circulation on the perimeter. Clapboard siding, a standing seam metal roof, and standard oversized steel casement window are the exterior materials. The owner, an accomplished photographer, has a full darkroom and studio on the lower level.
