Ohayo Mountain House
Ohayo Mountain House is the first realization of the prototypes, with AT Studio's investment. Construction of the three-bedroom, single-story house within a two-hour drive from New York will finish by the end of 2025.
Location
Nestled in the charming hamlet of Glenford, just a 6-minute drive from the vibrant heart of downtown Woodstock, this property offers an exceptional blend of tranquility and convenience. Enjoy the serene setting of Glenford, with the stunning Ashokan Reservoir and its scenic trail just a 15-minute walk away, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers.

Located under a 2-hour drive from New York City, this strategic location allows you to effortlessly escape the hustle and bustle of the city while still being close enough to enjoy Woodstock’s renowned arts scene, eclectic shops, and delightful dining options—all while embracing the peaceful charm and natural beauty that surround your new home.
Lifestyle
The life in a house has different qualities based on the context. In urban settings, houses serve as personal retreats, offering rest, comfort, and privacy after a day's work. In contrast, second homes and weekend houses often function as communal spaces, bringing together families, couples, and friends for short-term stays. The Court House responds to this type of life in which the borders of privacy, individuality, and community blend within a relatively small footprint. The narrow linear organization wraps three sides of an inner court. Each bedroom is an autonomous entity with access to the middle court, making it the main congregation space of the house. The roof emphasizes this autonomy. Openings are either minimal frames to nature or full-height doors directly open to the outdoors.
Land
The property is around 2.15 acres of wooded land with an 8 to 10 percent north-south slope. The zoning is low-density residential. A small creek runs at the west end of the property, which will be elevated to a natural landscape feature. The land has an average width of 180' and length of 550'. The property passed the perc test.

At AT Build, we understand the critical impact of climate change and the responsibility architecture holds in addressing it. Ohayo Mountain House is designed to showcase a truly sustainable way of living. Built with cutting-edge methods and carefully chosen materials, it aims for energy efficiency close to Passive House standards.
