If you’re looking for some innovative mountain home ideas, this chic, wood-clad home has it all – breathtaking views both inside and out, a cool aesthetic and a functional flow that looks as great as it works. Nestled into the hillside atop Mt. Merino with vistas of the Hudson riverfront and the Catskill Mountains, this house by New York-based architect Joel Sanders may be small (measuring just 2,200 sq. ft.) but it sure is sweet! The home’s timber walls encircle an interior courtyard garden, offering an outdoor element to the interiors. Although, the many windows and their accompanying views already do a great job of that. A concrete pathway leads residents and guests through a series of indoor and outdoor rooms including a loft-style living and dining level, a pool area and a wood-clad den with a view of an al fresco dining area below.
