Upstate Cardinal House

Welcome to our very first whole-house architectural project - our own home in New York’s Hudson Valley!

Nestled on a quiet country road in Old Chatham, NY, this post-modern greek revival farmhouse has been lovingly restored by L&G Studio to be our fun, cozy country getaway. We’re excited to invite you to share this special place with us. It’s now available to book for overnight stays throughout the summer and fall!

This special property was originally built in 1988 by an NYC architect and the set designer for 1980’s Soap Operas. Built over a small existing barn, the couple merged their contemporary Post-modern sensibilities with the regional vernacular of the Shakers and Greek Revival Farmhouses to create a minimal-yet-whimsical barn red country home. The home was originally featured on the cover of Metropolitan Home, which offered us a beautiful glimpse into the original design and decor.

Many of the original fixtures and features were in place, but weathered when we started the renovation. This allowed us to carefully blend the old with the new - a post-post-modern L&G adaptation consisting of a reconfigured kitchen, modern minimal finishes, custom built-in furniture pieces, and a few special L&G pieces!

The home is sited on a beautiful 5 acre wooded hillside surrounded by lush trees, vegetation, and wildlife. The home and site are truly a magical way to escape the city and reconnect with nature. MORE PHOTOS HERE.
