Y – House
Steven Holl - build date 1997 - 1999
"On a hilltop site in a remote part of the Catskill Mountains, the "Y" House ascends the hill, splitting to form two arms and topping with balconies. The "Y" cuts a slice of sky and draws the sun into the heart of the house. Like a found forked stick, the Y makes a primitive mark on a vast site. The geometry contains a sectional reversal of public/private and day/night with bedrooms below and living above.
