Living with Nature
“The idea for this community evolved from conversations I had with Howard Spivak. We let ourselves imagine an ideal place to live outside of New York City. Although we love the City, we find ourselves yearning to be surrounded by the tranquility of Mother Nature. We imagined a home in an ecologically driven community surrounded by likeminded people. Contemporary architecture would be in harmony with the natural environment.” – Judy Spivak
Creating a community that is ecologically sustainable informs all of our designs and plans. Anyone sharing this value is welcome to live here whether they want a primary or secondary home.
“I think having land and not ruining it is the most beautiful art that anybody could ever want.”
— Andy Warhol
Our design concept celebrates the beauty of the natural world.
Founded in 1986 by Howard Spivak, Spivak Architects operates on the model of a design studio. We are a firm where the exchange of ideas is encouraged, and our clients become an integral part of the team and the architectural process.
We’re driven by exploration and satisfy our curiosity by working across fields of the industry, taking on everything from real estate development to designing and fabricating the smallest details of our spaces, such as furniture, lighting fixtures and door handles.
