The Architect’s Newspaper: COOKFOX Cofounder Rick Cook Designs a Machine for Living—and Skiing—in Upstate New York

From The Architect’s Newspaper:
“‘If Le Corbusier saw houses as machines for living, then I see this house as my machine for skiing,’ said Rick Cook, cofounder of COOKFOX, of his newly designed project in upstate New York.

Sited deep in the North Country, the alpine-inflected contemporary home rests on a wooded acre within Bear Valley, a ravine next to the rolling hills of Titus Mountain and directly in the path of a ski trail. When the opportunity to purchase a parcel of land in the valley came up, Cook jumped on the chance to create his interpretation of a family-oriented, purpose-built machine for Adirondack living.”
