Custom Architectural Design in Loudonville, NY

On a densely-wooded six-acre lot in a long-established residential area of Loudonville, New York, sat a 1980s ‘contemporary-style’ residence. The owners came to Balzer and Tuck with a vision for a complete transformation. Working closely with the owners to understand their ideas, Balzer and Tuck reinvented the property into a Tuscan-inspired villa.

“When you recall what was here before, it still doesn’t seem possible! Balzer and Tuck saw past an existing 1980s contemporary home and reinvented it into the Tuscan villa we dreamed of.” – Saverio and Lorrie, Owners

To bring the villa to life, a number of additions were made including a master suite, front entry, third-floor children’s bedroom suite and a detached three-car garage with a guest living area above.

Low-sloping rooflines with deep overhangs reshape the existing exterior architecture and create dramatic cathedral-shaped volumes within the home. Views to the exterior woods and inground pool with new pool house were established with large glazed areas along the rear elevation, introducing much-needed daylight to the interior.

“Along the way, they were respectful and responsible to our budget as they listened and interpreted ideas for the main, carriage, and pool house.” – Saverio and Lorrie
