Y – House

Steven Holl - construction date 1997 - 1999

" On a hilltop site in a remote section of the Catskill Mountains, the "Y" House ascends the hill, splitting to form two arms, ending in balconies.

The geometry contains a sectional flip of public/private and day/night with bedrooms below and living above.
