New York Hilltop Residence Commanding a hilltop location with Hudson views, this house is set on bedrock. The steeply sloping, rocky site began as a challenge, but in the end led to creating a unique experience, with a house massing that crowns the existing rock ledges. The approach rises to either a formal motor court or a Palladian portico. From the portico, another flight of stairs rises up in the foyer to the formal living room and stair hall.

At the client's request, the design was modeled on Mckim, Mead & White's Ochre Point or Goelet House in Newport, athough the house is signifcantly different in plan, massing and orientation. Unlike the original's seaside location, this sits on a commanding hillside lot with sweeping views over forests. However, as far as possible, the proportions of the facades and the individual elements were retained. Interior spaces include a front to back grand hall and a double height master bedroom with its own deck and suite of rooms.

Hamptons Mansion
Working with the well-known Interior Designer Bunny Williams while at Hart Howerton, Hans Roegele was primarily responsible for the interior design of this 20,000 square foot residence in the Hamptons. The style hearkened back to classic shingle style cottages while incorporating the latest amenities. |
