A contemporary take on a one-story mid-century modern structure, No.1 is a hand-crafted piece that integrates with the landscape to create a terraced living environment with seamless indoor-outdoor connections. Perched on a knoll overlooking Saratoga Springs with sweeping mountain views, the piece nestles into a slope with cascading outdoor terraces that trickle down from the main/entry lawn and courtyard spaces to the lower hot tub garden and back lawn. The structure’s right angles and pitched roof lines juxtapose the natural landscape, yet its simplicity and use of natural tones and materials are an effortless compliment to the landscape. This creates a union where the living space and natural environment are balanced and work together to highlight each other.

There is a minimal, simplistic flow to No. 1. Inside we have worked to minimize our patterns, color pallets and material pallets to reduce visual clutter and enhance the client’s quality of life through their interaction with the spaces that they live in. Open common space, long viewsheds, simple details and multiple indoor/outdoor connections make this house unique. From the piano stage that sets off the entry and hints at the owner’s interests to the shadow line and zero trim package at baseboards, windows and doors, to the large window wall providing access to the courtyard and modern fireplace flanked by towering windows, No. 1 is an impactful statement achieved though thoughtful minimalist details. As if that weren’t enough, the landscape is sophisticated working in concert with the house. Plantings and outdoor spaces near the house take on the geometric form of the house and subtly blend back to nature as they approach the perimeter of the property.
