These beautiful photographs of the Purchase Residence leave me aching for more images. Isn’t that behemoth, fortress-like stone facade just fantastic?

The Purchase Residence was designed with a series of courtyards that simultaneously focus on the limited natural and designed views while not being overwhelmed by the noise of a nearby interstate highway…The plan and physical formality of the building is designed to reflect the relative formality of the culture and architecture of the New York City suburb.
