Seekond road home
This unbuilt residential project, located along Seekonk Road in the Berkshires, was originally conceived as a combined living space and recording studio. Although the project was never realized, the design later evolved into a contemporary family home shaped by its exceptional natural surroundings.
Set within a quiet woodland landscape, the site opens toward distant rolling hills, offering expansive northwest-facing views while maintaining a strong sense of privacy and connection to the adjacent forest. The orientation of the house became a defining architectural strategy, carefully positioned to project outward from the steeply sloping terrain and maximize the relationship between the interior spaces and the surrounding landscape.
The program is organized into two distinct zones. The private wing contains the primary suite, strategically oriented toward the most dramatic views across the hills. The social spaces—including a generous kitchen facing northeast and a living room opening directly onto an outdoor deck—create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living while capturing natural light throughout the day.
The home’s L-shaped form responds directly to the topography, embedding itself naturally within the hillside while establishing a strong architectural presence. The composition balances solidity and openness, allowing the building to feel both grounded in the landscape and fully integrated with the surrounding nature.
