The Black Mountain House in South Egremont, MA
Set deep within the Taconic Mountains, The Black Mountain House occupies a rare position at the edge of the Jug End Reservation, surrounded by thousands of acres of protected forest. Originally built in 1976 and recently transformed by interior designer Bruna Baiocchi—best known as the creator of the iconic Barn in Tivoli—and builder Andrew Personette of CB Design Build, the home balances the spirit of its original architecture with a thoughtful contemporary renovation. California’s Sea Ranch movement serves as an architectural reference point, while interiors draw from Japanese restraint and Scandinavian warmth.

Blue Hill House in Hudson, NY
Originally built in the 1970s and thoughtfully renovated, Blue Hill House – a classic farmhouse just outside the heart of Hudson – carries the weight of a historic colonial while feeling notably fresh. The architecture reads as classic farmhouse, while the interiors feel precise and edited. Dark hardwood floors run wall to wall beneath exposed timber beams, and three wood-burning fireplaces anchor the floor plan, giving structure to the main rooms rather than serving as ornament.
