A New York home hovers over the Hudson River
Built on a hillside in the idyllic village of Croton-on-Hudson in Westchester County, New York, a decidedly modern home rests on 9-foot-high steel columns that raise it in the air. It appears to hover above its surroundings, providing its inhabitants with a picturesque panorama of the Hudson River, a favorite subject of 19th-century landscape painters.
There was a great emphasis on opening up the house as much as possible with the large glass openings. It’s quite beautiful,” Robert Luntz says, founder of Resolution: 4 Architecture (RES4)
he clean sightlines, narrow profiles, and functionality of Western Window Systems products gave Luntz and his clients exactly what they wanted. “We were impressed by the thinness of the profiles and the lightness of the windows that you get from Western Window Systems and how well they work, especially the sliders,” Luntz says. “And the pricing was competitive.”
