the ridge house

Set in New York's Northern Catskills, The Ridge House is a 1,600-square-foot second home designed for a young family seeking a retreat from city life. Every space was imagined to encourage slowing down—whether gathering around the statement fireplace after a day outdoors or spending rainy afternoons together inside.

The home's palette embraces rich color, layered pattern, natural materials, and tactile textures to create interiors that feel warm, collected, and deeply personal. Rather than shying away from life with young children, the design celebrates it, proving that family-friendly spaces can be both practical and visually engaging.

The three-bedroom layout was tailored to the family's evolving needs, with one bedroom transformed into a flexible playroom featuring a sleeper sofa for visiting guests. Throughout the home, thoughtful details balance comfort, function, and character, resulting in a timeless mountain retreat that feels as inviting for everyday family life as it does for weekends spent entertaining.
