Located on a serene, wooded 1.1-acre site near Peconic Bay in Long Island, the Sheridan Green Residence by Christopher Jeffrey Architects represents a thoughtful reimagining of how we build. This 1,966-square-foot home is not only self-sustaining but also carefully integrated into the sloped terrain, proving that even with a modest footprint and limited budget, sustainable living can be both inspiring and achievable.
Designed for a busy family of six – including Bruno the dog – this house provides a dramatic frame for the view, extensive connection to the near and distant landscape, and a peaceful, family-friendly stage for city living.
The Roxbury House marries art and landscape in intimate and broad moments. The house is positioned uphill and on the edge of the 12-acre property to strategically take advantage of prevailing winds for natural ventilation and to minimize site disturbance
The Nebo house is conceived as a layered, volumetric foreground to distant mountain formations splayed across the landscape. Set within the foothills of the Appalachian range, the site is long and narrow with a dramatic slope down to a lake.
The ZN Prototype House was designed as a kit of parts that could easily be erected on any site. We developed this concept after receiving a lot of interest in our design for the LM Guest House (completed in 2012).
The Ocean Cliffside Residence was a challenging and rewarding build that ultimately resulted in checking all the boxes for the owner, design team and ourselves.
The Copake Lake House engages this lakefront property through a series of framed volumetric compositions and material details that capture views to the water.
The Ledge House clients asked us to design a new home that would resonate with the history of the Connecticut Valley, include a material palette that is environmentally friendly, and works with the challenging site on a large rock ledge.
