About
Embedded within the contours of its sloping topography, Ledge & Light House is a retreat from the intensity of urban life, an Essex County home designed to embrace both serenity and openness. As a refuge from the city, it offers an immersive dialogue between architecture and landscape, where shifting light, framed views, and a careful balance of mass and transparency define the experience.
