Jay Bargmann of Rafael Viñoly Architects has designed a house for his family in the Catskill Mountains of New York, featuring glass walls that reflect the scenic landscape. Called the Shokan House, the dwelling stands at the edge of a reservoir, just below the summit of a mountain in the Catskill region. Steel, glass, concrete, ceramic and wood are left exposed and unadorned throughout the building. The project is one of many contemporary homes dotting New York's Catskill Mountains and Hudson River Valley
