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.
“We have this absolutely amazing view of the river to the west, so the intention was to capture as much of it as we possibly could,” says Rob Luntz, founder of Resolution: 4 Architecture (RES4).
