STONE RIDGE RESIDENCE - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Last week, we visited our MODERN MODULAR Stone Ridge Residence in the Catskills for a punch list walkthrough with the contractor and client. A fresh layer of snow blanketed the site, highlighting the simple volume of the house and its siting on the sloping site.
The snow-covered backdrop accentuated the material palette: muted corrugated metal panels contrast with black accents, while a natural cedar celing adds warm, complementing to cabin-in-the-woods feel.

FORBES SELECTS RES4 AS ONE OF THE TOP 200 RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTS IN AMERICA
We’re honored to have been included in Forbe’s 2025 list of America’s Top 200 Residential Architects. The selection process took over 10 months. Evaluation criteria was strongly based on a strong commitment to regional expression, to the reinforcement of local ‘sense of place’ through design.
Richard Olsen, the Senior Architecture Editor at Forbes, wrote an article about the competition titled ‘Architecture and the American House Now’ where he discusses the importance of place in architectural design:
“In the late 1990s, influential Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa warned of the arrival of an ‘era of omnipresent visual images’ and of the culture’s new ‘ocular bias’: ‘Instead of an existentially grounded plastic and spatial experience, architecture has adopted the psychological strategy of advertising and instant persuasion; buildings have turned into image products detached from existential depth and sincerity…’
Today, little more than a quarter-century later, Pallasmaa’s concerns seem almost quaint. We now reside in a world of image inundation, one whose repercussions are only beginning to be acknowledged. With a growing universe of image- and video-oriented social media, in both consumer and business use, there’s not just a bias toward the visual, but a full-blown psychological dependency on it. In architecture, part and parcel of the overabundance of image sources is the deterioration of the notion that architectural solutions ought to simply be local, growing from place.’
We submitted three projects for consideration, showing a range of sensibilities and approaches to the notion of site and place, along with a firm profile showing the range and volume of RES4’s residential works. Click the links below to see our submission PDFs.

STONE RIDGE RESIDENCE - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
The decks are now framed up. This deck will be enclosed as a screened porch. Up in the tree canopy the living spaces evoke the sense of being in a treehouse.

BELMAR RESIDENCE - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
Our Belmar Residence, a block from the beach, will be wrapping up in the next couple months.
Pairing some progress photos from a recent site visits and earlier renderings, you can now really get a sense of how the house fits within the neighboring context AND what a great space the large roof deck will be, designed to capture whatever water and beach views we could.
Most of the siding and decking are in place now, and the cedar slatting and trim details are in progress. The slatted details serve both practical and aesthetic purposes. They offer some privacy at the decks from the street, while maintaining a sense of lightness and openness, and they work to break down the volumetric form, providing relief and detail. The trellis (or brise soleil) over the second floor windows will also offer shade, to reduce solar gains inside the house.

UPPER EAST SIDE TOWNHOUSE RENOVATION - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
We're excited to share an update for our gut renovation and rear extension of a beautiful Upper East Side townhouse, built in 1891. High-performance European windows and precast concrete sills have just been installed at the rear extension, which also features new custom brickwork to complement the surrounding context. The new extension responds to the critical need for additional space to make this home—built on a narrow, 15'-wide lot—comfortable for the owners, a young family of four.
Roof framing is also underway. The contractor is currently repairing the existing wood joists (which may be as old as 133 years) and 'sistering' them with new wood joists for added strength. New steel beams were craned unto the roof and channeled into the existing brick party walls, providing additional support for a new landscaped roof terrace and light-filled stair bulkhead.
We're looking forward to sharing for more updates on this project soon.
STONE RIDGE RESIDENCE SET DAY
On the set day for our MODERN MODULAR Stone Ridge Residence, the set crew arrived at 7am to begin preparations, and the crane was setup by by 8:30am. The four boxes were delivered to a staging area near the site the day before. The first box was lifted at 9:30 am, and the last one was placed at 12:30 pm. The entire setting process was completed in just 3 hours with a small, but very efficient crew. With modular construction, the building time is significantly reduced compared to traditional methods. The house is expected to be completed within the next four months, by early fall.

ARCHELLO FEATURES WISCONSIN CABIN
Surrounded by trees filtering dappled light onto the site, this two-bedroom, two-bath retreat offers a tranquil setting for its owners. The design provides connection to the outdoors with the implementation of multiple covered deck spaces. Natural light is abundant inside as a result of the butterfly roof design that allows for tall ceilings and clerestory windows.
