THE HUDSON RIVER PROJECT
FINALLY COMPLETED
THE HUSDON RIVER PROJECT BEFORE WE STARTED
MISMATCHED STYLES AND LACK OF AN ENTRY AND FOCUS WERE CHALLENGES
THE NEW ENTRY TOWERETTE
WE ADDED A STAIR TOWER WHICH HAD A VIEW ALL AROUND AS YOU WENT UP THE STAIRS
THE WONDERFUL RIVER VIEW FROM THE LIVING ROOM
CONTRARY TO THE OLD LIVING ROOM, THIS SPACE NOW TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE VIEW. NEW STRUCTURAL PNE BEAMS ADD CHARACTER AS DOES THE CUSTOM FRENCH LIMESTONE FIREPLACE
THE HUDSON RIVER PROJECT LIVING ROOM BEFORE WE STARTED
THIS SPACE HAD ONE 6' SLIDER WHICH OPENED ONTO A TINY DECK. THIS WAS THE ONLY VIEW OF THE RIVER. THE BRICK FIREPLACE LACKED ANY CHARACTER AND THE ROOM WAS VERY SMALL
THE HUSDON RIVER PROJECT
BY USING WINDOWS AT THE CORNERS, WE CAPTURED AN ALMOST 180 DEGREE RIVER VIEW. THE CLEARSTORY WINDOWS BRING IN AS MUCH SKY WITH OUT CUSTOMIZING THE WINDOW SIZES.
THE HUSDON RIVER PROJECT FROM THE RIVER SIDE
THE NEW ADDITION UTILIZED FORMER CELLAR SPACE TO CREATE A LIVING AREA FOR THIER TWO TEENAGE DAUGHTERS. FROM THIS SPACE, YOU WALK OUT THROUGH FRENCH DOORS ONTO ONE OF THE MANY PLANTED TERRACES.
THE HUDSON RIVER PROJECT BEFORE RENOVATION
TINY DEKS AND FEW WINDOWS KEPT THE OWNERS FROM ENJOYING THE VIEW. SPACE UNDER THE DECK WAS A DEAD ZONE.

THE BACK ELEVATION AND TERRACE GIVES FULL VIEWS OF THE HUSDON RIVER
NEW STONE GARAGE COMPLETED
THE VIEW AS YOU COME UP THE ROAD
NEW GARAGE, POTTING SHED & UPPER STUDIO
FINALLY COMPLETED - This new garage was designed to marry with a home built in the late 1700's. In order to reduce the scale and add needed amenities, a potting shed was designed as an addition to relate to the scale of the home. A studio is above the garage and is entered from the upper story by a ramp like an old barn.
THE NEW GARAGE CONCEPT
SEEN FROM ANOTHER ANGLE - This is the entry to the studio. The potting shed is entered on the lower level & sits beneath a porch. It will eventually be stained white to match the clapboard on the house.

THE PATH TO THE POOL BEFORE THE REDESIGN
A TINY ROUGH PATH LED FROM THE EXPOSED ROCK LEDGE WITH NO PLANTINGS OR SCREENING OF THE POOL AREA FROM THE DRIVEWAY
NEW PATH TO THE POOL GARDEN
PHASE 2 OF THE GARDEN RENOVATION INVOLVED A NEW PATH AND PLANTINGS
A RENOVTION TO A WALL FOUNTAIN MORE SUITED TO THE LANDSCAPE
“Carol transformed my landscaping and property. She transplanted a great deal of the existing planting and created a new landscape which was sensitive to my budget. She had a vision for my home that was right on!!! In the end, I fell in love with my home all over again. Carol was one of the most talented professionals I ever worked with. I look forward to my next project so I can work with her again.”
THE ORIGINAL WALL AND NON-WORKING FOUNTAIN
EXISTING WALL DID NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAY AND ROAD
AN ENTRY GARDEN GATE
THE NEW VIEW FROM THE PARKING AREA “Carol Cioppa of Cioppa Architects, LLC has transformed my home. The front of my home had a very drab, boring landscape. Under the wonderful tutelage of CA, this drab uninteresting front became a dynamic, beautiful and interesting part of my home. Her ability to choose plants and materials that blend so well and flower all the time is truly a gift not many in the field possess. Her knowledge of plants is truly evident in the plants she chose. They are a variety of various textures, shades and heights. To look at the landscaping of my home is now a pleasure for all senses.”
FROM THE DRIVEWAY INTO THE GARDEN
NO GARDEN GATE HERE BEFORE
BEFORE THE NEW GARDEN & GATE TO THE DRIVEWAY
THE CLIENT NEEDED TO SEPARATE HER PARKING AREA FROM HER GARDEN. IT WAS A TOUGH SITE UNDER SHADE TREES AND IN FULL VIEW OF THE DRIVEWAY
THE NEW GARDEN & GATE
RIGHT PLANT RIGHT PLACE AND A MAINTANANCE FREE FENCE
