Hudson Woods Brings Together Architecture, Design and Nature

By Ann Binlot Published December 4, 2015

Hudson Woods is a new concept for living that brings together elegant architecture, the best makers and a gorgeous setting. Located over 131 acres, Hudson Woods features 26 dwellings designed by Lang Architects in Kerhonkson, a small hamlet located in Upstate New York.

The idyllic homes are set in an area with amazing mountain views, forests and meadows. Drew Lang and his firm seek out to “create authentic, meaningful experiences at every turn.”

And that they do, with makers like Kaufmann Mercantile’s coveted accessories for the home, SMEG’s stylish retro-inspired refridgerators, hardware by Sun Valley Bronze, modular storage by USM Haller, outdoor furniture by D’Apostraphe, and furniture from the likes of Carl Hansen and Søn, Fern, Micahel Robbins and more. All you have to do is choose what you want.

According to the website, “Set amidst forests and meadows with sweeping mountain views, Hudson Woods homes offer modern design that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. More than a place, Hudson Woods is an experience that opens doors to discovering the things that matter. Family. Friends. Sport. Craft. Hudson Woods lets you access it all.”

That sounds like a dream to us! Nature, design and more, located in New York, surrounded by the finest makers and vendors in the business. Peace and fresh air will be all yours, and they even offer guides, petcare, beekeeping, personal training and more. We can’t wait to pay this new concept in living a visit next time we need to get away from the city and return to nature.

What’s the deal with Bryson DeChambeau? The Open Championship controversy explained

DeChambeau drew ire and measured responses over the weekend.

It was Ryan Fox who birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to win The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Despite the electric finish, all anyone's talking about is Bryson DeChambeau, who was given a two-stroke penalty following Friday's second round. The penalty has apparently divided the golf community, but the fact remains that DeChambeau's response to the penalty over the weekend took away from Fox's triumphant moment. And now, word is that DeChambeau reportedly tried and failed to rope President Donald Trump into said controversy.

The drama unfolded after Friday's second round, when it seemed DeChambeau finished the day in sole possession of second place with a -7 under score heading into the third round. At least it appeared that way -- until the leaderboard was updated to reflect a two-stroke penalty against DeChambeau, after officials claimed he stomped on the grass behind his ball to improve the line of his swing at No. 5. That, officials say, violates Rule 8.1, which states that, in order "to support the principle of 'play the course as you find it,' this Rule restricts what a player may do to improve any of these protected 'conditions affecting the stroke' (anywhere on or off the course)."

Spain outlasts Argentina to win FIFA World Cup and cap sensational tournament

Spain's relentless pressure finally paid off in extra time.

And just like that, Argentina's luck ran out. Spain's Ferran Torres emphatically found the back of the net from 8 yards out in extra time to secure La Roja a 1-0 win and the country's second World Cup. Torres' goal came in the 106th minute, but don't let that fool you: this was a one-sided contest from start to finish, and a deeper look at the box score reflects that.

I predicted Spain would beat Argentina, 3-1, and from the start it seemed like that prediction would come to fruition. Spain came out swinging, almost immediately recording two shots on goal, including an early header that came so close to finding the back of the net. Spain's relentless attack was evident throughout the match. La Roja applied pressure with swift passing and precision shots. Just ask Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez, who seemed to be the only one playing defense, making one spectacular save after another, 11 to be exact.

England-France playing for third place an instant World Cup classic

It was only for third place, but what a thriller.

Head, Person, Face

If you tuned in for the World Cup England-France game and checked out at halftime, nobody would have blamed you. The Three Lions led 4-0 at the half in a third-place game that was a blowout. You would have been right to assume England was in complete control and France had all but given up. You also would have been forgiven for turning off the TV and moving on to the rest of your Saturday. But for those who stuck it out, you were rewarded for your patience and loyalty.

France didn't waste any time getting on the board just three minutes into the second half with Kylian Mbappé's first goal of the game. Mbappé's goal didn't matter all that much at that point, except if you've been following the Golden Boot race. England still held a commanding 4-1 lead, thanks to goals from Declan Rice (3rd minute), Ezri Konsa (18th), and Bukayo Saka's brace (37th and stoppage time). Saka would complete the hat-trick in the 87th minute with a penalty conversion.
