The original Weinroth house was a 1920s Georgian building placed as an object in space, overlooking a steeply sloping, two-acre site that faces west to the Hudson River and the Palisades. The house was elongated in the north-south direction, parallel to the slope of the land and parallel to the river. Our design changes included a major addition to the building — an indoor pool that is perpendicular to the original house — and a complete transformation of the landscape. As a result, the building is directly connected to three outdoor spaces.
