Local Project Snapshot

Passive House-Inspired Home in Woodstock, NY

A Thoughtful, Low-Impact Residence for a Relocating Family

When a young family from Brooklyn decided to relocate to the Hudson Valley, they envisioned a home that reflected their values: sustainability, simplicity, and lasting comfort. They found a quiet, sloped lot in Woodstock, NY, with views of the surrounding forest—and came to Wright Architects looking for guidance on how to make the most of the land while keeping energy use and maintenance low.

We use a robust suite of tools and processes to ensure long-term building performance:

Project Goals:

  • Design for year-round thermal comfort with minimal mechanical reliance
  • Use natural, regionally sourced materials that would age well and blend with the landscape
  • Keep the project simple, streamlined, and stress-free
  • Incorporate systems that would allow the home to become fully Net-Zero in the future

Wright Architects Delivered

Our team led the family through every stage, from initial feasibility and passive solar siting, to permitting, contractor coordination, and construction support.

  • A compact, highly efficient single-level design to reduce energy loads and support aging in place
  • A super-insulated building envelope with air-tight detailing and triple-pane windows
  • A layout that maximized southern exposure, natural light, and passive heating
  • Local reclaimed wood siding and stone from nearby quarries for foundation detailing and interior accents
  • All-electric systems, HRV ventilation, and solar-ready infrastructure for future PV install
  • Minimal exterior maintenance requirements, durable finishes, and clean, timeless interior spaces

“We searched for architects near us and are so glad we found Wright. They handled everything—from design to permits to the final punch list—and the result is a home that’s efficient, beautiful, and totally us.”

— Homeowners, Woodstock NY

Tools We Use to Serve You Better

Technology That Keeps Your Project Moving—No Matter Where You Are

We believe the architectural process should be as seamless and stress-free as possible—especially when you’re balancing schedules, budgets, and big decisions.
That’s why we use a suite of modern tools that make collaboration clear and convenient, whether you’re right down the road or managing your project remotely.

Our Design & Communication Tools Include:

  • Revit & BIM Software Create detailed, accurate 3D models so you can visualize your project before construction begins—and so contractors can build exactly what’s been drawn.
  • Energy Modeling Software Analyze your building’s energy use, mechanical load, and performance goals for Net-Zero and Passive House compliance.
  • Client Dashboards
    Stay up-to-date on decisions, timelines, and design documents with a simple, secure online platform tailored to your project.
  • On-Site Construction Support We don’t disappear after drawings are done. We visit the job site, communicate with contractors, and protect your investment throughout the build.
  • Cloud-Based Collaboration Tools Share drawings, feedback, and updates with your team (and ours) in real time—wherever you are in the world.


Our tools don’t replace our personal service. They enhance it, giving you the confidence that you’re informed, supported, and in control every step of the way.

WRIGHT ARCHITECTS

Words We Live By

We are as good as our last project. Our former clients are the best testament of our work and we will provide references upon request.

Anything is possible, it is just a matter of how long it will take and how much it will cost.

There are different levels of sustainability and they all have quality of life and cost implications.

The cost of a project not only depends on its size but also on its level of detail.

We design with sustainable principles in mind without compromising the beauty of the structure and the spaces inside of it.

In the Northeast, there is considerable electricity the sun can generate during a winter season. Reducing the energy load of the structure through insulation and orientation is the best approach; the electricity generated by the sun coupled with battery backup is the icing on the cake.

Architecture is a form of Art that can be developed into amazing forms and spaces filled with texture and light; achieved by listening to not only the client but also to mother nature.
