The Nine-square House Was Born Of A Several-year-long Collaboration Between Multi-disciplinary Artist Zak Kitnick & Esteemed Architect Francesco Galetto. At Its Core, An Authentic Country House, It Joins & (and Is Inspired By) The Vernacular Of Brutalist Mid-century Villas Peppered Throughout German, Austrian, & Scandinavian Rural Landscapes. The Home Is Minimalist In Structure So That It May Support An Inevitably Maximal Lifestyle - An Extensive Art Collection & Distinctive Furnishings Thrive In This Home Alongside An Overflowing Painting Studio, Outdoor Gear For Exploring The Surrounding Nature. Every Feature Of The Home Was Conceived To Be Both Functional & Pleasing To The Eye; After All, The Team Behind The House Spent More Than 2 Years Planning A Design That Addressed Every Conceivable Ergonomic & Environmental Question. The Nine-square Philosophy Of Living, Developed In The Mid-1900s By The Incredible Architect & Professor John Hejduk, Is Very Much Felt In The Home's Distribution & Flow Of Spaces. On The Ground Floor Are The Double Living Room, Dining Area, & Kitchen, All Flowing Into Each Other & Anchored By A Marble Fireplace & 3 Large Glass Doors Opening To The Exterior Terrace With A Breathtaking View. The Kitchen Features Danish-designed Reform Cabinetry, Bardiglio Marble, & Fisher Paykel Appliances. An Office/painting Studio, A Washroom, A Dry Bar, & Laundry Room Complete The Main Level. The Central Architectural Piece Of The Home Is The Solid White Oak Staircase Leading Up To The Second Floor. The 4 Bedrooms Upstairs, Though Spacious, Are Much More Private & Intimate, Each With Large Windows On 2 Sides, Communing With The Serene & Quiet Landscape Outside, And Sharing 2 Sizable Bathrooms. Distinguishing Features Of The Nine-square House Include High Energy Efficiency Due To Insulation Exceeding All Current Standards, Multi-zone Central Ac, Radiant Heated Floors, Solid 200 Lb Interior Doors, Satin Nickel Kohler Fixtures, Cast Iron Sinks, & Solid Forged & Machined Brass & Satin Nickel Door Hardware. The 9 Acres Of Land Around The House, Perfect As It Is, Has Been Touched As Little As Possible. There Are Wooded & Open Areas, With Meandering Walking Paths Trailing Through The Property. The Nine-square House Is Just 20 Minutes From Hudson, Great Barrington, & Millerton & 2 Hours From New York City. The Home Is Just A Few Minutes From Copake Lake.
