Bast & Rood Architects

I was the client for the Sugarbush house, and Rob Bast was the architect for a restoration and redesign. He understood my apprehension to the genre of the house, but also understood my desire to honor the original silhouette of the house. He also worked with the contractor to guide him through the unusual structural demands of a house that is suspended above the ground. I love this house, and it is completely experiential. Each and every room reveals the environment in a unique way. Even though it looks cosmopolitan, it is an experience of living in and among the trees and the treetops. I have dubbed the Master Bedroom the Val-Aerie. Rob is gifted in his ability to visualize the structure without, and it's experience from within. His help extended from the structural needs of the roof (which only appears flat), to the layout of the tiles which draw you into the space. From the big concepts to the small details, it was wonderful attention and care.
