Hudson Valley VS1 Home

2022

Aug 16

Architect: Franz Safford and Janus Welton
Contractor: Around the House LLC
Location: Hudson Valley, NY

“With the recent completion of the second VS1 house (dubbed “VS2”) located in the Catskills, Safford has officially made glass-based residential construction a plug-and-play possibility. ‘We needed certainty before we promoted this concept,’ says Safford. ‘Now, we can do a kit, which can be assembled easily by anyone who knows building construction. It’s in the spirit of the IKEA concept, only all made in the USA and engineered for your climate conditions, and costs are about the same as stick-built. Or we can do a custom house that will be beyond your wildest dreams.’”
