Nestled in the lush landscape of New York’s Adirondacks, overlooking Lake George, the studio and its surroundings provide fertile ground for the artist to explore and create.

Collaborating with renowned architect Jeffery S. Poss, the artist sought to design a space that would feel organic among the abundant woodland while highlighting the tranquil scenery.

The sculpture studio on the ground floor has both a large vertical light-filled space, as well as a lower atalier tucked under the loft. The guest loft above forms its own gabled volume and pronounced deck. The result is a series of very distinct yet interconnected spaces.

The studio is located at the highest point of the property, with the guest space at the pinnacle of the site, 130 steps up from the water’s edge. This vista allows elevated tree-filtered views of Lake George.

The exterior cladding references Adirondack rural vernacular and helps emphasize the spatial conception. Galvanized steel siding wraps the gables and north end, while locally-milled red cedar covers the polygonal east and west sides. The cedar is reintroduced on the interior to create a warm and aromatic environment.

The “Polygon Sculpture Studio,” as it is now known, received a 2014 Merit Award for Architectural Design from the American Institute of Architects Central Illinois Chapter. The Studio was also featured on Small House Bliss.
