Parkhouse

Geometric Home in Nature

A nature-loving couple found a lush piece of land on the outskirts of a small coastal town with a quick commute to NYC. Since they wanted their home to be an escape from city life, THE UP STUDIO positioned the new house on the edge of the property to maximize the site’s landscaping potential.

The design opens the street level and southern facades with glass to bring in natural light and encloses the rest for privacy from the neighbors. A wraparound porch with integrated screening addresses the vernacular of the historic neighborhood, calibrated to the altitude and azimuth of the sun throughout New York’s changing seasons. On the roof, carved out space allows for a large roof deck with garden beds and ample solar panels.
