Ledge & Cedar House ~ Pound Ridge

Nestled in between a cluster of cragged rocks and the peak of a hilly plot of land in Pound Ridge, New York sits the Cedar Ledge house. Made up of a tasteful composition of asymmetrical cuboid forms, Cedar Ledge house allows for a playful dichotomy between its facades as well as a beautiful combination of interior programming.

The future owners of this home wanted to integrate a piece of their tradition within it as well - a courtyard (or “aangan”) inspired those in vernacular Indian homes sits nestled next to the double height living space. Other highlights of this home include a stunning double-height entry, tranquil floor-to-ceiling glass breezeway and a three-sided fireplace with built-in shelving and buffet separating the dining and formal living rooms.

The Cedar Ledge house was designed with uncompromising consideration for our planet and the health of its occupants from the forefront. Its combination of passive elements including double-stud wall construction, triple-paned windows, careful programmatic and site orientation, and diligently designed building systems mean that Cedar Ledge house will be net-zero, extremely high-performing and even more of a pleasure to live in.
