- Today Architectural Digest brings you an hour outside of New York City to tour Bedford Quarry House. Sitting atop the cliff's edge of an abandoned quarry, this serene property boasts spectacular views of the lake and surrounding forest. The boundary dividing these vistas from the interior is figuratively broken by floor-to-ceiling windows throughout-creating a sense of openness and fluidity between nature and the home. Join architect Steven Harris for an in-depth look at his design philosophy behind this unique family residence.

Having the architect talk about the house is so much more superior than letting a realestate agent talk about a house! Not only is this educational but it allows me to appreciate the thought, artistry and beauty behind such architecture! Architects speak in a much more sophisticated and genteel way than realestate agents (except Linda May)! More of these kind of content please! Thank you!
Yes, it's great.
THE house is amazing im the architect that built it , I give it 4 years then it will be in the quarry ,,, still its a nice house
To be honest, the most "artistic" part of the house is NATURE. Not the part human-made. The scenery of the lake and the forest surrounding the house is what makes the place amazing. The architect only needed to include glasses everywhere so you could see nature. Nature creations will always surpass human creations. The most beautiful natural landscapes such as forests and lakes will always be more magnificent than buildings and cities.
@James Walkerhave to give him credit for incorporating nature around the house. It’s very difficult to go to the lengths he did on a hill.
realestate agents just want to sell thats all they don´t feel the passion and dont know about the challenge architects and engineers live when they do this kind of amazing things, i completely agree with you!
As a General Contractor I must say, this is one of the most incredible homes I've ever seen. This is the type of project you go your whole career hoping to build. Fantastic!!!
👍
totally agree. landed that job last year and am presently working on a dream deck with a mind boggling view for a client who allows for a different vision. the challenge is wonderful indeed.
This might be one of the rare cases when the architect truly gives justice to his art with storytelling. Such a beautiful perspective we all got the pleasure to listen to. Wrapped up the music, videography, and of course the house. What a masterpiece in every way.
What a house, amazing to hear the architect talk about it with such humility. At the end you can tell he still hopes people like what he has done which shows how much passion he put into this project.
I built the teak dock/pond float for this house.
Incredibly challenge given the height of the surrounding cliff faces.
Mostly, I gotta say the Owners were incredibly kind and gracious.
This is a true artist. The way he speaks in poetry, his fascinating mind and way of thinking about things, the way he considers every detail down to the symbolism behind it, incredible. This was such a joy to watch. And a beautiful design in a stunning location.
Well Said.... So True. 👍
I see no artist. The most "artistic" part of the house is NATURE. Not the part human-made. The scenery of the lake and the forest surrounding the house is what makes the place amazing. The architect only needed to include glasses everywhere so you could see nature. Nature creations will always surpass human creations. The most beautiful natural landscapes such as forests and lakes will always be more magnificent than buildings and cities.
Now that's a house worthy of being featured on AD! This is one of the only houses I've seen on this channel I could see myself living in. If only I was rich! Not only is this house visually appealing and pleasing to the eyes, it actually looks cosy. Absolutely beautiful and stunning mansion!
Absolutely 💯
100%
Really the only thing I didn't like was the stone floor pattern on the stairs
I hope you'll get rich someday and get to experience this lifestyle!
Look up the one in the desert that looks like it’s straight out of dune. Full of fossils and even looks like one
This house is a strange combination of luxury, serene, and cozy. The part where the drive up is a "tease" was actually a very interesting idea and intentional. Well done Mr. architect.
everything is so well thought out, im usually not a fan a minimalist or brutalist design but this is just perfect in this environment. it feels like it’s supposed to be there, wow
It's like a dream house. I wish to buy something like this in my lifetime.
Breathtaking. Not just the house. Yes it’s beautiful, but this man’s connection and design and concept and passion. I think I could’ve seen this house and thought it was beautiful, but having him describe the concept, makes it really special.
Breathtaking views! Architecture and nature in perfect harmony.
Utterly divine. I have always dreamed of a house in a quarry. This architect has got inside my mind and turned my thoughts to bricks and mortar.
Stunning house, and the architect presents it with passion, high intellect, and accessibilty to non-architects.
For true Family but never Alone.
Yah bro. If I had this guys vocabulary I could fool people into thinking my 1100 sq ft condo was Buckingham Palace
@Khu NoPie😂
@Khu NoPie"When you step into this house, I want you to think of 1 adjectives, effortless"😂😂 beautiful!!
agreed. There's no pretense here, he explains the origin of his idea, and the process behind the design, and it all just simply...makes sense. I've never thought about architecture in these terms before, the "psychoanalysis of arrival" as that guy's thesis is named. Great house, expert architect.
Absolutely stunning! Amazing location and well thought out design that really captures the peace of the setting without forgetting the natural habitat it was built in and blends with. Bravo!
A dream. And considering the location, this is now my favorite house in the whole world. ❤
There is nothing I do not LOVE about this property...Just magnificent.. I love your designed house! It’s simply beautiful!.
Wow, I’m blown away by this house. Just so beautifully perched on top of the quarry. What a stunning piece of art!
Having an obsession with Georgian style homes and architecture and normally despising most other designs for homes and then seeing this one and being completely obsessed with the design, the build, the site, all of it. Perfection. How lucky are the owners and the architect with such a vision!
I love how passionate this architect is of his masterpiece.
Its not passion it’s “marketing”
@B BabbichI disagree, this is appreciation and an earnest love of both Architecture and Nature when integrated so purposefully as to reflect and rejoice in one another almost seamlessly.
@B Babbichit has owners already
Yes it is beautiful. But the unrelenting gray makes the interior spaces so cold.
Delightful.
I love how he describes the house, and the reveal of it when moving up the driveway especially reminded me of videogame level design. As a game dev it's so funny how much the two disciplines share that few people realize.
Love those slate floors, it's pretty common material on the East Coast and was used in a lot of older houses for siding or whatever and it's always been one of my favorite building materials
The site is gorgeous!
I personally do not love the house, but that does not diminish the appreciation and happiness I have for the project teams' own joy! It is most certainly a piece of fine art. Very peaceful way to spend 14 minutes.
Love how passionate, humble and articulate this architect is. Makes me love my job a little bit more.
You can tell this guy is passionate about creating livable places and not just aesthetic pleasing places. That's why this house is my favorite. Hope to see this guy in other videos because he seems really interesting.
I agree totally, he conveyed the grace and integrity of someone who lives his beliefs seamlessly. I am happy for people who can achieve this.
He’s considered to be one of the best architects in the world.
Agree❤

One of the best houses featured on AD. This is simply magical. ❤
Una casa espectacular, muy buena arquitectura 😊
This is absolutely beautiful and works perfectly within its environment. You should be very proud of creating this.
Parabéns, o lugar é maravilhoso, a casa é divina e o dasafio da construção é algo apaixonante
Breathtaking! This place gave me butterflies. It must be wonderful to live in this gorgeous space with these amazing surroundings! How lucky they are!
Might be one of my favourite houses you've shown on this channel purely for the location, how beautiful!
yes, I agree! Fell in love with this one
FOR REAL!!!
Same.
🔊
Where is it exactly? Property address? Value?
I love this and how much passion and thought of nature and the experience was put into it!
I know what he meant about feeling protected, just taking a virtual tour I felt that. I think this is accentuated by the space around it, the site of the tall trees, and a sharp drop down into the quarry filled with water. Being physically inside, living in there, I bet it feels even more like that, eating your breakfast with that view. It's like a part of the landscape as well. What a beautiful building.
This house is outstanding. You,sir, did a remarkable job. The only things that threw me off was the manicured lawn space coming up the drive and the bright blue pool.
What an Amazing house. I love how the Architect made it so functional. The public main rooms should be FORTIFIED for protection of the upper floors. Such a natural human instinct and a lot of houses miss that mark.
just wow. I've seen plenty of Architectural Digest videos but this top it all the passion that was put into the creation of this master piece is just breath taking. Everything is designed with purpose and intention!!!
I think the most incredible part is the forest path around the property, your very own cliff, waterfall and dock. It's amazing
Love the main level stairs. The building is nicely organized and celebrates the views. I feel the house doesn’t have the same level of uniqueness as the nature around it. It looks like a model house.
Great to see a young family being able to afford a house like this.
This house and especially the surroundings of the house, nature are amazing! The place and the house fit together perfectly!
This is the exact kind of place i would want to live in someday.
Offgrid, modern surrounded by nature. What a combination.
Wow this is beautiful- it's perfect for this site! "effortless and inevitable" and I truly appreciated the architects take on the different spaces and locations.
The location, the property, the video, the way the architect talks so passionately about the project. Everything about this is perfect. I now have a new house obsession.
Magnificent! Great use of space , beautiful setting, love the materials and fixtures chosen. Landscaping perfect synergy with the house. My only criticism is the pool, to me an absolutely missed opportunity for a negative edge pool overlooking that beautiful quarry. Although the free-form pool is in keeping with the mid-century aesthetic, it seems more appropriately placed in Palm Springs. I think it would have been very dynamic to have utilized that magnificent edge like the placement of the house.
Such a magnificent estate and the architect’s guided tour gave a warm reception and detailed insight into the architectural design detail.
This channel is brilliant! It combines the best in architecture, music, ASMR. Very artsy and induces calmness and peace of mind.
Stunning!👌…. That’s basically perfect, the views are amazing, been so close to nature, no neighbours….absolutely perfect👌
Massive congrats to the owner & architects involved.
Amazing design! Great job! Love the passion he has for his masterpiece 😊
Deeply enjoyable presentation. You achieved your goals; it exudes calm and is inevitably beautiful.
This is a timeless modernist masterpiece.
I wish you'd feature more of these types homes in the magazine. This is architecture at its most beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful design. Ease, serenity and comfort was definitely achieved
This is the best video on this channel by far. A really beautiful house presented by the maker himself. That’s how it’s supposed to be.
In short, architecture is art and passion and I love it.
Fantastic house and space. It's like a dream house, and the setting is absolutely perfect.
This is so incredible, amazing house! Wish I could have that kind of a house
This is the only video of AD that has compelled me to drop a comment. What amuses me is that how closely this house is aligned to the very idea of nature, as if nothing was ever changed about this landscape while building this house. The architecture is the literal definition of minimalism combined with tranquility. It makes you wanna settle and put a full stop to the 'big hunger'. Kudos to the Architect for giving his best not just to the owners but to Mother Earth.
The landscape is magnificent! Its definitely one in a billion location. Love the foyer concept and view!
Stunning property. The layout and materials used are serene so very beautiful.
I love your designed house! It’s simply beautiful!
This guy is probably top 1% of goals for architects yet his presentation and humor makes him appear very relatable.
Epic ! Incredibly thought out . I usually do not like houses on edges / hills . But this is amazing !
I'm generally not a fan of modern architecture, but the location and the integration of the styling with the surroundings really makes it all so appealing to me. Very nice and thanks for posting.
Absolutely amazing beautiful, this is a dream house in the woods no people around only Nature. Breathtaking ❤
This is a truly beautiful house. It's the first time since I saw Fallingwater that I've been so enraptured by a beautifully designed house.
Yes, this is an exquisite love letter to Wright's masterpiece.
videos like this really make me want to be an architect, but i also don't think i could ever build something this amazing for anyone but myself
House tours by the architect themselves is infinitely more entertaining to watch. There's so much more detail in these types of tours, I enjoy it quite a lot.
This is one of the most perfect and beautiful houses I have ever seen! Big kudos to the architect.
The thoughtfulness put into every aspect is truly remarkable. Particularly love how the architecture reveals different spaces. This is my favorite building featured on this channel.
Beautiful. Who comes to wash the outside of the windows that just out over the promontory?🤔
@Feeding Off The Rails Specially trained swans with rose petals in their beaks gently waft over the windows.
🔊
a mansion, that is well balanced between extraordinary looks and coziness, which has everything, but isn´t too big and is well integrated into the environment. Amazing.
One of the best video years ago, what i saw. Awesome pictures and editing, with perfect balanced background music. Congratulations for the creator crew! 😊
Agree 100%!
I love the house and I love the area around it. Its one of those cases where both individually are beautiful but together they are elevated.
I love how passionate this architect is of his masterpiece.. This man’s architecture is truely art..
Wow, absolutely stunning location and architecture!
One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen. It must be incredibly peaceful living there.
A truly breathtaking design. Few things in life are better than one of one.
Awesome Design! Epic Site! Landscape Perfection! Stellar Execution!!! Absolutely Love it . . .
Amazing video! This house reminds me of an estate I just did a property tour on near Los Angeles. Great job, Architectural Digest!
I think this home’s exterior and interior design, and location, is other-worldly. Respect to the architect Mr Harris and his humble narrative. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Like many people here I love looking at unique homes and spaces on CZcams. Over the years, I’ve watched videos on a lot of amazing homes, but I have to say, this might be the most amazing because it brings all the elements I love, together. I wouldn’t change a thing about this one. And often, even in the best of those other videos, I find myself thinking well I would change this, or I would change that, but I don’t feel that way about this one. I’d leave this one just the way it is. This place is truly an achievement. What bliss it would be to live there.
Totally reminds me of a Frank Lloyd Wright building with its vow to represent the environment it stands in, especially reminds me of Falling Water. Truly love this ‘conscious’ architecture!
One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen
The scenery and all are just beyond perfect
some of the shots in this are absolutely incredible, really understood what was needing to be shown just beautiful
I love this house and letting him take the viewer on a mental walk through the journey. Great presentation.
That house will simply never lose its touch what an incredible build
This is by far my favourite house in this channel. I love the sound of the waterfalls so peaceful.
Everything about this house is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing.
This looks amazing. I like the ideas, how they used the quarry, the stone wall feature, etc.. Only thing I figure, isn't that amazing is probably cleaning the pool filter. 🙂
This architect is the reason that Architecture is still a marvel.
And probably the only time that inside outside concept has made sense into the way of living as one with your surroundings.
This is beautiful! I would love something like this myself!
I love the nature surrounding this property.
Money may not buy happiness but it can buy the serenity this house provides.
Which leads to happiness and peach 😌
@SilverLake401 I don't have a house like that but, boy, do I have a peach.
Money doesn't suppose to buy you happiness you better be happy having money!!
@Javon JamesI would rather be happy and rich than happy and broke.
@ak i could eat a peach for hrs
I fantasized about having house like this with some secret tunel & caves💚 rocks, vegetations, water, beautiful blue sky everything 🍃
Absolutely stunning house and property!
this is one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen. I legit almost teared up its so beautiful
so often these fancy places don't seem liveable. this dude created something beautiful and actually understands how people live. being able to hide the dirty dishes for the next day is brilliant.
Absolutely stunning, and the setting is everything
As a long time fan of Steven Harris Architects, I'm so glad to see him on AD! I'd love to see more videos with the AD100 at their new/flagship projects!
What an amazing tour! Well done!
I asked myself and heard inside of me deeply and I came to the conclusion that if I ever have the money I ll try to buy this house. What an energy and peace, I think this place definitely can heal.
Just fabulous! Who can ask for anything more than this.
Gorgeous setting and design! This guy embodies the Art in Architecture! I so hope he has diligently trained at least one protégé! Makes me want wealth just so I can hire his firm!
