Stockwell-Rodríguez Residence
Belmont Freeman Architects — Bedford, IN, 2019
The Stockwell-Rodríguez Residence is a 4,000-square-foot renovation of a five-bedroom house located on a wooded 5.5-acre property in Bedford, New York. Originally designed in 1973 by architect Richard Gordon for John Tishman, the house was acquired by a Manhattan-based couple seeking a weekend retreat. Their brief called for a more open kitchen, increased bathroom count, updated interior finishes, and upgraded building systems. Belmont Freeman Architects reworked the house’s interior to accommodate an extensive collection of contemporary art and classic modern furniture. Design interventions included recladding the exterior in black wood siding and replacing original windows with horizontal bands of glazing for a minimalist expression. A swimming pool was added at the edge of a rocky cliff in the rear yard. Sustainable features include a high-efficiency heat pump system, added insulation, thermal windows, LED lighting, and roof provisions for photovoltaic panels. The southern façade, fitted with oversized sliding doors and a brise soleil, is detailed to optimize solar gain and shade according to seasonal needs.
