Located in the Hudson River Valley about a two-hour drive north of New York City, the Hudson Passive Project's design was inspired by traditional Upstate New York barn architecture. Stone walls and a laminated wood structure support a simple gable roof. The large, south facing glass wall illuminates and warms the interiorThe large glass wall at the south end of the house lets the interior light shine through in the evening hours, turning the house into a giant lantern in the landscape. Though snow blankets the landscape, the house remains warm and inviting.
