In the idyllic landscapes of the Hudson Valley, where hills roll gently and historic towns dot the scenery, architecture is more than just construction. It's humankind’s narrative woven into the natural fabric of our area, a dialogue between nature and the built environment, past and present,  and a reflection of the unique spirit of the region.

Embarking on a residential construction project can be an exciting and challenging experience. Whether you are dreaming of building a custom home or planning to renovate an existing property, James Lyman Reynolds Architect’s design process can make all the difference in helping to achieve your vision…

We're thrilled to introduce our latest project, lovingly known as The Gingerbread House. Alterations and additions to a single family “Catskill Cottage” included both a new (and expanded existing) living room with a built-in box-bay window seat, zero clearance firebox, and a second floor primary bedroom / bath suite.

Located on approximately 12 acres of upland hillside that include old bluestone quarry sites, this project has developed over time through a series of alterations and additions to an existing late eighteenth century farmhouse.

A true hidden treasure. Discovering the path that led to the creation of this early Hudson Valley Arts & Crafts revival was almost as fun as seeing it fully realized.
