Inside A Mansion Built On The Edge Of An Abandoned Quarry | Unique Spaces | Architectural Digest

Today Architectural Digest brings you an hour outside of New York City to tour Bedford Quarry House. Sitting atop the cliff's edge of an abandoned quarry, this serene property boasts spectacular views of the lake and surrounding forest. The boundary dividing these vistas from the interior is figuratively broken by floor-to-ceiling windows throughout–creating a sense of openness and fluidity between nature and the home. Join architect Steven Harris for an in-depth look at his design philosophy behind this unique family residence.

Having the architect talk about the house is so much more superior than letting a realestate agent talk about a house! Not only is this educational but it allows me to appreciate the thought, artistry and beauty behind such architecture! Architects speak in a much more sophisticated and genteel way than realestate agents (except Linda May)! More of these kind of content please! Thank you!

Now that's a house worthy of being featured on AD! This is one of the only houses I've seen on this channel I could see myself living in. If only I was rich! Not only is this house visually appealing and pleasing to the eyes, it actually looks cosy. Absolutely beautiful and stunning mansion!

[KrisDelaPena]

This might be one of the rare cases when the architect truly gives justice to his art with storytelling. Such a beautiful perspective we all got the pleasure to listen to. Wrapped up the music, videography, and of course the house. What a masterpiece in every way.

[Alyssa-uibf]

This is a true artist. The way he speaks in poetry, his fascinating mind and way of thinking about things, the way he considers every detail down to the symbolism behind it, incredible. This was such a joy to watch. And a beautiful design in a stunning location.

[rehanahakeemkhatri]

I love how passionate this architect is of his masterpiece.

[PeetaGrifffin]

Money may not buy happiness but it can buy the serenity this house provides.

[Pasan]

This house is a strange combination of luxury, serene, and cozy. The part where the drive up is a "tease" was actually a very interesting idea and intentional. Well done Mr. architect.

[SnifferSock]

This guy is probably top 1% of goals for architects yet his presentation and humor makes him appear very relatable.

[MrRayMac]

As a General Contractor I must say, this is one of the most incredible homes I've ever seen. This is the type of project you go your whole career hoping to build. Fantastic!!!

[kamerynpeyla]

You can tell this guy is passionate about creating livable places and not just aesthetic pleasing places. That's why this house is my favorite. Hope to see this guy in other videos because he seems really interesting.

"if you have the same view in every room, there is literally no reason to move." I feel like he would hate it in NYC billionaire's row. I almost cried watching this video, I have never seen a house this beautiful while being modern, stylish and cozy

[elbigotesdelatienda]

A dream. And considering the location, this is now my favorite house in the whole world. ❤

[subressor]

Might be one of my favourite houses you've shown on this channel purely for the location, how beautiful!

[zerohours.]

I think the most incredible part is the forest path around the property, your very own cliff, waterfall and dock. It's amazing

[jasonaut]

I built the teak dock/pond float for this house.
Incredibly challenge given the height of the surrounding cliff faces.
Mostly, I gotta say the Owners were incredibly kind and gracious.

[michaeledwards]

Also as a tradesman myself who works on custom homes, I will be the one to ALSO give props to the skilled laborers who made this vision physical

[nicholassoons]

The location, the property, the video, the way the architect talks so passionately about the project. Everything about this is perfect. I now have a new house obsession.

[priscillanash]

It’s difficult to not be wowed. I would fail at that assignment. 😮
I’m glad the birds decided to show up for their auditory contributions. Perfection.

[jg_]

Breathtaking. Not just the house. Yes it’s beautiful, but this man’s connection and design and concept and passion. I think I could’ve seen this house and thought it was beautiful, but having him describe the concept, makes it really special.

[strawberrykun]

Not just the house but the architect's personality is very serene and calming as well. This why I watch Architecture Digest, not just discover houses but discover people.
