A busy New York City-based couple reached out to Fauzia Khanani of Foz Design to design a new weekend home in Saugerties, New York. Located along the banks of the Hudson River, the custom home acts as a sanctuary for the couple and as a place they can host friends and family

With a slight rustic, cabin-like aesthetic, this modern home, dubbed RiverBanks, hints at mid-century modern with its clean lines, but has a warm feel as it’s clad in natural wood

Approximately 200 trees had to be cleared from the lot for building to begin and those trees were reused for furnishings and finishes in the home

The house is surrounded by expansive decks to enjoy the natural surroundings. Overhangs provide shelter from the sun.
