La Serenidad is a home that rests on a site with eastern and western views of the Hudson Valley and the Kaaterskill Wild Forest. To the north and south of the home is a beautiful forested landscape. For this project, we’re focusing on creating curated views of the home’s surroundings, rather than giving it all away in a single moment. Each moment and view is informed by specific programmatic needs.

An aspirational gym space for running and yoga looks out across the eastern sunrise. The centrally located pool extends from the house, creating a 180 degree experience of the site. The main bedroom suite will feature both eastern and western views, as well as a luxurious bathing space while a double height living space will flood the first floor of the home with light. A large two story fireplace grounds the living area, creating a space with cozy vibes for evening fireplace wind-downs.

True to its name, La Serenidad will encompass serenity, emphasizing a sense of relaxation and connection to nature.

THE SITE

La Serenidad was designed for Lot 8. Located on one of four lots at the Upper Terraces, the home is uniquely positioned in the center of the lot. Designed for a more wooded site, La Serenidad’s two story volume will accentuate the spectacular views to the east and west.
