Wild Thing

Perched on a snowy New York mountaintop, this quirky 1970s A-frame is the sort of retreat you'd never want to leave.

A REMOTE A-FRAME CABIN ON THE tip of Belleayre Mountain, in the Catskills, is a far cry from the Bronx, in New York City, where Sarah P. Major’s clients primarily live—and that’s how they like it. As avid foragers and ardent cooks, the couple wanted a quiet weekend retreat where they could explore the outdoors and entertain. Snatching up a circa 1970s home designed by local Japanese American architect Ikuyo Tagawa, they enlisted BHDM Design, where Major is director of residential design, to bring it into the modern era.
