Berkshire Retreat

The natural beauty of this waterfront property in Berkshire County sets the stage for a new modern retreat — designed for a family to gather through all seasons, from winter skiing to summer hiking and boating.

Simple sloping metal roof planes, inspired by the nearby mountains, rest on a combination of black and cedar-clad walls. This graphic interplay of deep tones and warm natural wood carries through to the interior. Walnut cabinetry and richly textured stone countertops anchor the kitchen, while the ever-changing foliage beyond provides a constant, living backdrop.

The main gathering spaces feature soaring ceilings and expansive windows framing grand views of Yokum Pond — filling the home with light, air, and a deep sense of tranquility.
