New Paltz Barn

Renovation of a barn as a summer residence for a family with four children.

The old timber structure was uncovered and smaller rooms have been joined into a vast living room with a floor in bush-hammered Pietra d’Istria stone imported from Italy.

The stone continues seamlessly outside in a new outdoor deck that steps down to a pool clad in black river pebbles. The deck and the barn building are continuously enclosed by a 8-foot base wall built of local fieldstones.
