Unique

Each home is a unique site specific residence, designed by S3 Architecture in response to the natural characteristics of the land on which it sits. The result is a contextual structure naturally fitted to the site.

Modern

Our aesthetic is distinctly modern and marries natural textures and materials resulting in a warm modernist style. Inspiration often comes from historic or local forms re-imagined with a modernist eye.

Sustainable

A core tenet of our firm, sustainability is key to our designs and building methods. Each home incorporates thoughtfully sourced and sustainable materials and is designed to be built with energy efficient systems and building techniques.

Luxury

Quality materials and designer fixtures and finishes are included in all homes. As an architecture firm first, our homes are never builder-grade.

the story

Blending a distinctly modernist aesthetic with natural materials, warm textures and traditional forms, the Upstate Modernist collection of homes by S3 Architecture offers a re-imagined modern lifestyle.

We’re inspired by the idyllic and rural character of the Hudson Valley of Upstate New York. Born from our focus on sustainability, we respect the land with a conservation focused and eco-conscious approach.

Each property starts with a preservation-focused plan maintaining natural spaces and sight lines. Every home is unique and site specific, designed to respond to the natural characteristics of the land on which it sits and built with sustainable and efficient building techniques.
