Artists’ Home & Studios

Embraced by the South Hampton woods in upstate New York, this residence - in harmony with two art studios - shelters a peaceful landscaped clearing anchored by a sculpted pool. Colors selected by Mary Boochever, an architectural colorist, and careful consideration of building materials create surface textures and patterns that flow around corners, connect the ground to the sky, and map through to the interior spaces.

Integration of alternative and sustainable materials such as SIPs, geothermal energy heat sourcing, and a photo-voltaic array allow these two artists of multidisciplinary talents to make tangible their commitment to the environment while also extending their thinking regarding the art of living. For the architects, this collection of buildings presented the opportunity to contemplate resourceful living at a hyper-creative level, resulting in this comfortably eclectic retreat.
