Tsai home.. in Upstate NY

The Tsai Residence is a countryhouse designed for two young art collectors. The design reflects their request for simple abstract looking piece, sitting almost without scale on top of the vast property, which is located two hours upstate from New York City.

To me its very organic.. and simply.. i loveeeeeeeeeeee it
