SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE

The sustainable lifestyle at River House begins with its environment—inside
and out. From the perspective of Sean Flynn, head of construction at Hudson Harbor, healthy living at the River House begins with the building itself. “There are three
components of a healthy building—its xterior, the interior space, and the
mechanical systems or guts of the building,” he explains. The initial focus on the River House exterior resulted in using only natural materials, including stone and bluestone
from Pennsylvania that was naturally made, not manufactured. The stone was sourced from a family farm dating back to the 1800s and transported to the River House site, then hand worked to create the building’s facade. Similarly, the brick and the timber were sourced locally, much of it from New York State barns and beams.
