THE ART OF BUILDING
In this project, Hudson Valley Preservation helped bring an artist’s strong aesthetic to life. His creative ideas resulted in a 24’ x 25’ original building to store and show his personal art as well as that of his parents’ and close friends’. To connect art and life, we attached the studio to the existing home with a connector hall and to the outdoors with a Japanese-style garden.
We start by listening. After consultation with the client, our design team presented a 3D computer rendering of the project (below). Changes can be made to the rendering in real time, giving the client direct input on the initial drawings, and minimizing surprises during construction.
Hi guys!
Just wanted — now that your work on our house has officially wrapped — to say again how lucky we feel to have worked with you all.
One of my favorite things in the world is coming across people — whether they be chefs, or writers, or teachers, or doctors — who do their work to a standard that you can tell comes from an inner sense of how things ought to be done. Never a consideration of “what can we get away with here” or “how much will this bring in for us”; just excellent work, done because that’s what your standards demand.
You guys have somehow put together an entire company of people like that — from Ian’s on-site work to Luke’s meticulous painting to Dorothy’s seamless organizing to Mason’s overseeing of the whole thing — and we and our house are thrilled to be the beneficiaries.
Gratefully,
Ben & Elyse
