Ki nan Valle Hudson ki bèl anpil, vil Amenia ofri yon melanj trankil nan bote riral, istwa rich, ak yon lavi kominotè dinamik. Antoure ak ti mòn ki vire ak tè fèm trankil, li se yon souvant pafè pou moun ki renmen lanati. Lakay genyen kominote renome tankou Troutbeck, yon pwopriyete istorik ki tounen yon retrè, ak Silo Ridge, yon kominote golf ki disponib sèlman pou manm, Amenia ofri elegans ak cham. Avèk aksè fasil nan estasyon Metro-North Wassaic, vil la byen konekte ak vil New York, sa ki fè li yon bon sòti ki melanje lavi trankil nan zòn riral avèk konvenyans iben.

Kay "Cascade", yon rezidans ki pral bati, enkòpore modènite, melanje eleman achitekti ak peyizaj avèk prensip konsepsyon kontanporen. Situe sou yon parcèl ki desann 13 ak, kay la konekte ak topografi sit la pou pwofite panoramik vas sou Amenia ak deyò. Ou ap pwoche bò sit la atravè yon ti rivyè dou ki mennen nan yon klè nan bwa ki antoure yo.

Kay la genyen twa volim achitekti. Estrikti anwo a, ki gen chanm ak yon biwo lakay, flote anlè peyaj la. Volim santral la, ki dedye a espas sosyal, se yon estrikti fèmen nan vè pou tè-a-tot, ak gwo pòt ki glise ki konekte enteryè a ak anviwònman an. Volim ki anba a plonje nan tè a, se yon zòn di ak chèz, kwizin deyò, manje, oubyen zòn pisin ki opsyonèl. Volim sa yo desann nan pant mòn nan, ofri opinyon san entravè sou lanati ak opinyon lwen.

Lè ou ap pwoche bò rezidans lan, ou se frape pa jwe materyèl yo. Mi chimen ki kloti ak wòch yo san pwoblèm pase nan mi fondasyon ki ekspoze pou volim anwo a. Anwo a flote volim anwo a, ki kloti ak brik ki lejè, ki granmoun. Bwat espas vivan an montre beton ki fòme ak tablo sou twa mi ak mobilya ak vè nan lòt la. Ant sa yo se yon zòn antre, yon melanj de bwa ak vè ak yon tèt vèt.

Nan kay sa a, peyaj la jwe yon wòl egal ak achitekti. Ant chak volim se yon karakteristik peyaj ki make. Peyaj anwo a gen plant espesyal ki fèse intrant la, plant tèt vèt, ak yon ti mòn ak plant natif yo vizib nan foyer a. Peyaj ki anba a gen faço permeab, sa ki pèmèt salon an koule deyò atravè pòt ki ka opere yo pou zòn chita ak manje.

Andedan, anndan an devlope ak yon koule san efò, ki karakterize pa liy pwòp, espas ouvè, ak yon palèt materyèl ki limite. Kè kay la se espas piblik plan ouvè ak plafon 10 pye nan salon an, manje, kwizin, ak plafon 13 pye nan chanm fanmi an. Espas sa yo benyen nan limyè natirèl ki sòti nan fenèt ak pòt ki total wotè sou bò sid la. Gen yon plafon mahogany ak planche beton ki fèt. Yon mi karakteristik ki kloti ak marb, ak yon cheminé ki gen de bò separe salon ak sal manje. Kwizin gastronomik la gen mahogany ak kabinè bwa lakè, aparèy Miele, ak yon zile beton ki fòme vaste. Gen yon gwo depo pou manje ki fasilite pou stòk ak aparèy.

Rezidans prensipal la gen kat chanm ki laj, chak ak yon twalèt atache. Suite prensipal la gen yon gwo kabinè pòt ki koupe nan yon sèl, yon twalèt ki sanble ak spa, ak yon teras prive.

Pandansetan, prensip konsepsyon dirab yo byen entegre, ak izòlman vaste, fenèt bwa ki gen twa vè, sistèm mekanik efikas enèji, ak aparèy elektrik konplè. Rezilta a se yon fizyon armonye nan fòm ak fonksyon, kote liks, lanati, ak eksperyans imen egziste nan yon balans pafè.

Nan yon vil kote istwa, lanati, ak elegans modèn rankontre, Kay Cascade ofri yon retrè pafè—kote serenite Amenia rankontre atizay nan lavi kontanporen.

Nestled in the scenic Hudson Valley, the town of Amenia offers a peaceful blend of rural beauty, rich history, and vibrant community life. Surrounded by rolling hills and tranquil farmlands, it’s the perfect escape for nature lovers. Home to renowned communities like Troutbeck, a historic estate turned retreat, and Silo Ridge, a members-only golf community, Amenia offers elegance and charm. With easy access to the Metro-North Wassaic station, the town is well-connected to New York City, making it an ideal getaway that combines serene countryside living with urban convenience.

The "Cascade House", a to-be-built residence, embodies modernism, blending architectural and landscaped elements with contemporary design principles. Situated on a sloping 13-acre plot, the home connects with the site’s topography to take advantage of expansive views of Amenia and beyond. One approaches the site via a gently curving creek leading to a clearing in the surrounding woods.

The home features three architectural volumes. The upper structure, containing bedrooms and a home office, floats above the landscape. The central volume, dedicated to social spaces, is enclosed in floor-to-ceiling glass with large sliding doors connecting the interior to the surroundings. The lower volume is sunken into the earth, an exterior hardscaped area with seating, outdoor kitchen, dining, or the optional pool area. These volumes cascade down the mountainside, offering unobstructed views of nature and vistas beyond.

Approaching the residence, one is struck by the interplay of materials. The stone-clad driveway walls seamlessly transition into the exposed foundation walls for the upper volume. On top of this floats the upper volume, clad in light, weathered brick. The living space box showcases board-formed concrete on three walls and mahogany with full-height glazing on the other. Between these boxes is an entry area, a mix of wood and glass with a green roof.

In this home, the landscape plays an equal role with architecture. Between each volume is a signature landscape feature. The upper landscape includes specialty plantings framing the entry court, green roof plantings, and a sloping hill of native planting visible through the foyer. The lower landscape features pervious paving, allowing the living room to flow outdoors through operable doors to seating and dining areas.

Inside, the interior unfolds with an effortless flow, characterized by clean lines, open spaces, and a restrained palette of materials. The heart of the house is the open-plan public spaces with 10’ ceilings in the living room, dining, kitchen, and 13’ ceilings in the family room. These spaces are bathed in natural light from the full-height windows and doors on the south face. There is a slated mahogany ceiling and cast concrete floors. A marble-clad feature wall with a double-sided fireplace separates the living and dining rooms. The gourmet kitchen features mahogany and lacquered wood cabinetry, Miele appliances, and an expansive cast concrete island. There is a large walk-in pantry for extra storage and appliances.

The principal residence boasts four generously proportioned bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. The primary suite has an expansive custom walk-in closet, a spa-like bathroom, and a private terrace.

Throughout, sustainable design principles are seamlessly integrated, with extensive insulation, triple-pane wood windows, energy-efficient mechanical systems, and fully electric appliances. The result is a harmonious fusion of form and function, where luxury, nature, and human experience coexist in perfect balance.

In a town where history, nature, and modern elegance converge, the Cascade House offers the perfect retreat—where the serenity of Amenia meets the art of contemporary living. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
