Set on a quiet hillside in Ancram, where open farmland gives way to distant ridgelines and uninterrupted skies, Casa de Campo is a study in restraint. Defined by a pre-cast concrete structure and positioned carefully within the landscape, the home pairs a rigorous architectural language with a setting that feels expansive, rural, and deeply private.

Inside, polished concrete floors, warm oak millwork, and clean architectural lines establish a calm, cohesive interior. Light becomes the home’s defining material, moving across surfaces throughout the day and drawing the surrounding landscape inward. The central living space rises beneath 12.5-foot ceilings, while continuous walls of glass on either side dissolve the distinction between indoors and out. Fields, trees, and distant hills become part of the composition, shifting subtly with the seasons.

The kitchen is fully integrated within custom cabinetry, allowing the open-plan living space to read as a single volume rather than a collection of separate rooms. Designed with simplicity in mind, every element feels intentional and quietly resolved. At either end of the house, two bedrooms provide privacy and separation, while a built-in bunk room adds flexibility for guests. A separate den with a Murphy bed offers additional sleeping space without compromising the home’s clean layout.

The bathroom continues the same architectural approach, featuring a walk-in shower positioned beside a full-height window that frames the surrounding woods. Throughout the home, materials remain consistent and restrained, allowing the views and changing natural light to remain the focus.

Outside, a broad concrete terrace runs the length of the façade, creating an effortless extension of the living space. Whether used for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or simply taking in the landscape, the terrace offers a front-row seat to the property’s sweeping views across farmland and distant hills. The setting feels remarkably secluded, with few visual interruptions and an uncommon sense of openness.

The Setting at Casa de Campo: Architecture Framed by Landscape

The defining feature of Casa de Campo is its relationship to the land. Continuous walls of glass create uninterrupted sightlines across fields, woodlands, and distant ridgelines, allowing the landscape to become an active part of daily life. From sunrise illuminating the concrete floors to evening light settling across the hills beyond, the experience of the house changes throughout the day.

Though distinctly modern in form, the home feels grounded within its surroundings. The concrete structure anchors the building to the hillside, while the warm oak interiors soften its edges. The result is a residence that feels equally suited for focused creative work, extended weekends away from the city, or full-time living immersed in the rhythms of the countryside.
