On an empty plot of rural land in New York State, interior designer Steven Gambrel and his architect collaborators have conjured this elegant newbuild, which feels both contemporary and rich in history, imposing yet comfortable.
Steven Gambrel often says his most rewarding challenge is bringing the spirit and soul of an old building to an entirely new one, and there could be no finer example than this house. His clients, who were living in the Manhattan apartment he had designed for them, had bought 50 acres of woodland, meadow and stream in Westchester County, less than an hour’s drive from the city.
