\u200a \u200a According to writer Karrie Jacobs, the idea started more than 20 years ago, when she was the founding editor of Dwell. She visited a Colorado community experimenting with walkable streets and intrepid (often eccentric) architecture for what became a cover story about what she and the team dubbed America’s Coolest Neighborhood. The angular forms and bright colors of the homes made an impression, and though it took years to realize it, they became the basis of the1,900-square-foot houseJacobs eventually built in the Catskills town of Andes, New York. (She even hired the original architect to design it.) |
\u200a \u200a In her story, Jacobs walks us through her journey—complete with road trips, book writing, and a too-small Brooklyn apartment—and she doesn’t spare the details about when budget and timing required getting creative to realize a home worthy of the ones she saw back in her Dwell days. We hope youenjoy hearing about it\xa0as much as we did. -William Hanley, Editor-in-Chief |
\u200a The seed of an idea planted when Karrie Jacobs helped start our publication finally comes to fruition in her own Catskills home. |
