Family Retreat
Nestled within the rolling landscape of New York’s Hudson Valley, this thoughtfully crafted family retreat was designed as a gathering place for multiple generations while celebrating the owners’ lifelong passions for art, music, travel, and the natural world.

The homeowners—accomplished art collectors and world travelers, and artist Alison Attie—envisioned a home that would feel both sophisticated and welcoming; a place where family and friends could reconnect, create memories, and experience the surrounding landscape in every season. Drawing inspiration from traditional Hudson Valley farmsteads, the residence is composed of a collection of interconnected structures that blend naturally into the countryside while providing a variety of spaces for gathering, entertaining, reflection, and artistic expression.

Expansive windows frame pastoral views and fill the interiors with natural light, creating an ideal backdrop for the family’s extensive art collection. Outdoor living spaces extend the home into the landscape, connecting terraces, gardens, a swimming pool, and walking paths that encourage exploration and relaxation. A studio barn provides additional space for creative pursuits, while music and conversation naturally flow through the home’s generous gathering rooms.
The result is a timeless retreat that balances elegance with comfort—an enduring family compound designed to foster creativity, celebrate culture, and bring generations together for years to come.
