As families grow older and children move on to independent lives as adults, many parents are left with a large, luxurious empty house with an excess of space. Not wanting to pay considerable taxes for space they do not need, but not wanting to downsize their lavish lifestyle, empty nesters are faced with a problem.

An elegant fountain rests along the perimeter wall, offering the space a soothing atmosphere. Dividing the courtyard is the Pavilion, which is fitted with sizable accordion and french doors, combining the indoors and outdoors effortlessly while functioning as a sheltered pathway connecting two residential buildings with the amenities building.

The entire compound sits on a massive concrete podium, under which sits a heated, 213 space, gated garage. The podium and the five buildings upon it are supported by collection concrete piers that stretch across the garage. The steel-framed residential buildings are clad with cast concrete mock shingles, modeled after the wooden shingles historically found on Westchester homes. The mock shingles are designed for maximum durability and easy maintenance, offering a long lasting, high quality facade. Additionally, cast stone, made to appear natural, wraps the lower portions and balconies of the buildings while clapboard siding covers highlighted areas of the facade. Mansard roofs shape the upper facade of the structures, modeled after traditional Rye architecture. Some of the Mansard roofs frame spacious balconies while others house bays of windows looking out over the courtyard. On the roof of each building sits a forest of mechanical equipment strategically placed out of sight from the ground. The buildings are fitted with oversized, double hung Andersen windows allowing plentiful natural light in the residential units and amenity spaces. An extensive door schedule includes a combination of storefront, patio, and hollow metal doors covered with wood veneer.
