Description
Stretch House is a weekend home in the Catskills for a young family from New York City. Its site brings together three distinct but adjacent landscape types: thick forest, a hay field, and a meadow scattered with mature specimen trees. Lazor Office set the house in the seam where the three meet, so the plan opens onto one landscape at a time rather than all at once.
Long parallel walls run well past the glazed walls and roof, extending the interior outward and shaping deep spatial frames that read each landscape in turn. Every wall is built from a single material carried continuously from inside to out, and as with the surrounding land, those materials mark out distinct places within the house: local slate, white-washed wood, black corrugated metal, and ivy. The whole sits on a ground plane of high-gloss concrete that blurs the threshold between landscape and building.
