There is no mistaking the core philosophy of the Forest Edge House, a 1,500-square-foot home nestled into the woods of the western Catskill Mountains.

There is a sense of quiet power to this little black box of a home—sited on a 3-acre forested parcel and set along a gentle slope—and that’s entirely by intention.
