Hudson Vista
The wrap-around terrace offers a panoramic view of the Hudson River. Because the space is trapezoidal, a series of low powder-coated aluminum planters have been arranged en masse to form a sequence of consistently regular rooms, which offer a with variety of sitting arrangements. To institute a visual rhythm in the foreground of the vista, tall planters that hold globe boxwoods have concealed intersections of the terrace’s oblique angles. On the northern border, the mushroom vents are wrapped with glass 'sails' providing a sculptural element that responds formally to the nautical vessels. Beyond the sculptural vent screens is the largest of the four sitting areas, furnished with a wrap-around sofa and nestled beneath a cantilevered umbrella.
