A mountain house planned for aging in place: Hunter, New York
A Catskills ski house with warm textures, natural materials, windows framed on Hunter Mountain, a custom kitchen with a premium range and stone surfaces, and a plan for accessibility.
The house is in the Catskills and looks at Hunter Mountain. The project page describes it as a ski retreat designed for aging in place, which is an unusual pairing and the point of the project.
The rooms use warm, earthy textures, natural materials, and a soft, organic color palette. Expansive windows frame the mountain so the landscape is the focal point of every room. A stone fireplace anchors the living room. The custom kitchen has a premium range and stone surfaces, and there is a powder room with designer finishes.
What aging in place changes
Accessibility is planned into the layout rather than added later. The project page describes comfort, accessibility, and style blended into one house, with indoor-outdoor living kept seamless.
