The Hempcrete Houses at Stone Ridge is an enclave of four unique, modern homes to be built with high-performance, natural building envelopes using Isohemp Hempcrete Block, widely used throughout Europe and new to this area. Designed for both wellness and low-maintenance living, these stylish houses are made with superior materials in the spectrum of naturally derived or recycled earth-friendly products. No styrofoam or fiberglass insulation is being used in these buildings. This is a natural, breathing, humidity regulating, carbon sinking, and mold resistant envelope with very high energy performance. Our modern interpretation of mid-century and contemporary styles feel at home in the Hudson Valley. The Minimalist interior designs provide the uncluttered backdrop for warm elements of decor. The houses are spacious without overindulgent, lending themselves to everyday living, entertaining, or both. The Primary House is a 3 Bedroom and 2 1/2 Baths and a Home Office, 1,800 Square feet. The (optional) Flex Studio w Carport and ½ Bath is 563 square feet (plus Carport), Totaling 2,363 of space. Enter into a generous mud room with an adjacent coat closet and powder room. Step through the elegant wrought iron partition with architectural glass patchwork into the spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. The kitchen flows easily to the dining area or the generous deck, which relates nicely to the landscape and optional pool. The kitchen is roomy yet ergonomic with a big pantry. Just off the bedroom hall is a perfectly sized home office with a door to the outdoors. The bedroom hall, at 7 ft x 21 ft, is a big, nicely lit room that can support furniture and art. The laundry room is big and pleasant. Generous primary and secondary bedrooms await at the end of the hall. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bath and a door to the terrace. The long and graceful gravel drive leads to lightly wooded, private, and park-like parcels of 4.2 to 4.5 acres set among mature hardwoods and gently terraced with plenty of flatter open land for various options and outbuildings. Each sister parcel offers designs of varying and flexible floor plans ranging from 1800 to 3200 square feet. Although each house is unique, they share a core program and language of natural and healthy materials. The positioning of each home on the lots has been carefully considered for each parcel. However, according to personal preference, adjustments can be made to site each design on one of the neighboring lots.
