George Ranalli Architect GRA

Hudson River House in Hudson, N.Y.

George Ranalli Architect is creating a remarkable new residence in the Hudson Valley, near Hudson, New York—an architectural retreat inspired by the extraordinary country houses that have long defined this landscape, from Olana to the Jasper Cropsey House and other Hudson Valley landmarks.

Rather than replicate the past, the design reimagines the familiar country house for contemporary life. Shingle siding, mahogany detailing, weathered copper, and a strong stone base establish a timeless relationship with the landscape, while the architecture itself is thoroughly modern.

The result is a private retreat conceived around the lives of its owners—a place for family, friends, and guests to gather, reconnect, and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the Hudson Valley.

Here, architecture becomes more than a house. It becomes a setting for living well: generous, intimate, connected to nature, and designed to endure.

For discerning clients seeking a residence that is deeply rooted in place yet distinctly their own, the Hudson Valley offers an extraordinary canvas.
