Situated into a hillside in Upstate New York, the Hudson Fieldhouse is a classic example of a modern, barn-inspired dwelling. It features a clean, gabled form clad in black timber and topped with a standing-seam metal room. A natural stone foundation finishes off the attractive vernacular exterior. But it's not just another contemporary farmhouse. Stowed inside the dark facade is a fitness enthusiast's playground. The lower level is occupied by a basketball court with an adjacent living area for adoring fans. In the loft above, a fitness center and a pilates studio are positioned in front of a wall of glazing, offering serene views of the landscape during workout sessions. While the interior focuses on athletics, it still maintains its rural minimalism with batten walls, wooden beams, and steel details.
