Mount Airy Residence Century Stone Reborn with Curved Modern Warmth

The Mount Airy Residence was renovated and expanded by architect Ravi Raj. The project is located in Croton-Harmon City, Westchester County, New York. Centered on respecting the site's context and local architectural language, the project successfully modernized a century-old stone house. The original stone structure was preserved, and local materials were used to match the rough stone base. The upper part was brightened with white horizontal panels, creating a harmonious coexistence of old and new interfaces. The added part from the 1980s was expanded into new floors, and the steep roof and the tiger windows corresponded to the traditional residential form, with unified and complete roof lines.

The interior is constructed with warm and natural materials and gentle curves to create a coherent narrative. Lacquered wood, polished marble, and soft fabrics run through the space. Arc-shaped elements can be seen in arches, details, and artistic staircases, creating visual echoes between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen features classic gray Schuck cabinets paired with dark-textured marble countertops. Arc-shaped water barriers and wall lights soften the lines. The breakfast corner has a built-in bench and glass doors that frame the view and lead into the garden. The living area and the kitchen are seamlessly connected. Square-shaped fabric armchairs, arc-shaped fireplaces, and sofas complement each other. The entire arched window bench faces the garden and the woodland. Black doors and accessories add layers to the neutral tone.

The master bedroom is located in the core area of the old house. The exposed roof beams are painted in dark green, complemented by vintage woodwork, dark soapstone fireplaces and thick linen upholstery, creating a rich texture and depth. The adjacent bathroom is decorated with white baseboards and hexagonal mosaic tiles to create a bright and transparent atmosphere. The standalone bathtub, double-sided natural lighting and frameless glass shower area enhance the sense of space scale. The basement serves as the main entrance. The entrance hall and storage room are paved with limestone flooring, with slatted wall panels and earthy tones echoing the natural environment. Customized soapstone agricultural water sinks and the bedroom fireplace material form a contrast.

Raise the terrace and the stone-paved patio to extend the living space. The built-in barbecue area and the metal fire pit are suitable for use throughout the year. The large window views bring the garden, pond and forest area into the interior. Historical components and contemporary finishes are naturally integrated, eliminating the boundary between indoors and outdoors. Past and present engage in continuous dialogue here, presenting a timeless residence with local characteristics and contemporary appeal.
