Stretch House–Accord, New York
Long parallel walls conjoin interior space with exterior space.
The site of the Stretch House consists of three distinct but adjacent landscape types in the Catskills: a thick forest meets a hay field meets a meadow dotted with mature specimen trees.
The house, a weekend home for a young New York City family, is sited in the seam of the three landscapes creating discrete views, one landscape at a time.
“The home he designed for my family in upstate NY is truly a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Everyone who visits sees and experiences something wonderfully unique and special—what a gift. Once you live in a Charlie Lazor-designed home, you can never go back.”
– Andrea Stanley, Homeowner
Long, parallel walls slide well beyond the exterior glass walls and roof.
These walls shape deep spatial frames that conjoin interior space with exterior space. We hope that the contrast between the views reveals the essential nature of each landscape type, rewarding the quiet eye.
