Roscoe Mountain House
The Roscoe Mountain House is a ground-up home situated in the idyllic Catskills namesake village, known for its prize-winning fishing. The house’s layout and organization, as well as its palette of materials, were informed by natural landscape features and 19th-century stacked-stone walls that terraced the property.
The Roscoe Mountain House is a ground-up home situated in the idyllic Catskills namesake village, known for its prize-winning fishing. The house’s layout and organization, as well as its palette of materials, were informed by natural landscape features and 19th-century stacked-stone walls that terraced the property.
The home consists of two discrete yet interlinking volumes that, in building off of these existing walls, orient the home toward an array of surrounding scenes visible through floor-to-ceiling operable glass panels. The structure is set over a hillside, and such vistas unfold in accordance with the lines of the walls and as needed in order for each space to serve its function.
