Bridge House: A Walk Among The Treetops

modern-house-bridge

Located in Olive Bridge, NY, this modern house serves as a country retreat for an urban family. However, unlike any other typical vacation home, which is often simply a regular house built somewhere else, the architecture of this structure is bold and unusual both in space and form.

The central living room is simply striking, with its intricate post and beam structure and exposed metal cables, its overwhelming ceiling height and massive central fireplace.

Two architectural elements stretch out from the main building; one is a linear structure that consists of several private quarters, and the other is a long and narrow bridge, extending from the top of the ceiling of the main building, inviting you for a walk among the treetops.
