We love how this bathroom turned out. Exterior-grade waterproof plaster gives the walls a soft, organic texture, and the natural stone mosaic floor (swipe for the detail shot) carries the palette of the surrounding property right into the room. From our Hudson Valley Guesthouse project 💚

Small detail, big difference. The canted riser—where the back of each riser tilts inward beneath the tread—is a design choice you feel before you notice. We wanted to share this view before installing a custom wall shelf which hides it. Three reasons we love a canted riser:

1. More foot room on the ascent. Your toe tucks neatly under the next step, so every stride lands fully on the tread. 
2. A cleaner, more contemporary profile. No protruding nosing means a sleeker look that reads modern from every angle. 
3. Easier to clean. No underside lip to catch dust, just smooth lines, top to bottom.

Meet Roscoe Ridge | This new build sits on a ridge with views that made most of the design decisions for us. We’ve excavated the site, prepped the footings, and poured the forms for the walls—the foundational work that happens long before anything starts to look like the drawings (swipe to see renderings). Excited to share more as this progresses.

North River’s Owner and Director of Architecture Chris Ruel discusses the inspiration for the custom thermally modified .official siding for our Hudson Valley guesthouse and writer’s studio, recently featured in (link in bio for full article). The pattern was designed to echo the striated rhythm of the structure seen through the trees. Three board widths, ripped and installed in a fully randomized pattern. The detail we’re most proud of: every window, framed in a thin aluminum reveal, meets the siding at a clean, full piece on every corner. Endless credit to the install team for executing it flawlessly.

Not our typical metal roof—for good reason.

Our New Paltz Artist’s Retreat called for a different approach. We’re working on two buildings on the same property: a renovation of an existing structure and a new build. Choosing asphalt shingles let us roof buildings for the price of one metal roof, allowing us to stretch the budget without sacrificing the result.

The look of a custom kitchen without the custom price tag. We worked closely with on this kitchen for our Woodstock Flexhouse. When an architect, builder and modular cabinet maker are in lockstep, this is what’s possible. Clean, modern, and some of the best storage details we’ve seen in terms of both form and function.

At North River, we’re dedicated to not only achieving the detail, but perfecting it. .mildred, our interior design partner for this Hudson Valley Guesthouse, selected this beautiful wallpaper and window treatment fabric (pattern: Blossom) to mirror the surrounding landscape. To achieve a seamless and integrated look, we waited until both were on site to install.
