This new guest house design is located in Pound Ridge, New York gracefully acknowledges both its secluded, wooded setting and the main residence it adjoins. Designed by RchStudios, the house has been carefully fitted onto its site, developing a close relationship between the new structure and the variable terrain.
Program elements are placed along an axis that emanates from the existing main house. This axial line extends out to a stone ridge in neighboring wetlands, anchoring both houses in the landscape. The guest house straddles this axis and becomes another incident along this narrative line, emphasizing the contextual qualities of the building rather than monumentallity.
Four guest suites sit along one side of the axis and communal spaces on the other. Each guest suite is a unique self-contained unit, but all suites draw from the same basic palette of stained wood and native stone. The living, dining and entertainment areas provide larger informal gathering spaces. Living and dining areas have large expanses of glass which give unobstructed views out to the landscape. Both of these rooms are capped by a shaped roof canopy, as if a giant maple leaf had floated down to rest on and enclose the space.
