House in the Berkshires
Surber Barber Choate & Hertlein Architects — the Berkshire Mountains, CT
Located on a wooded hillside in the Berkshire Mountains of northwest Connecticut, House in the Berkshires was designed to integrate with its natural setting. The client requested a residence that would blend with the surrounding landscape and feel appropriate to its site. The 5,300-square-foot home is composed to follow the hillside’s contours, creating a series of interior spaces oriented toward pastoral views. The architectural approach employs a natural material palette, with Douglas fir, red cedar, and white oak paired with New England stacked stone for both structure and landscape features. Each material was selected to reflect the terrain and express the workmanship of the craftspeople involved. Stone site walls and thoughtful detailing allow the house to harmonize with its environment, while steelwork and timber accents reference the region’s building traditions within a modern framework.
