This Westchester County home blends steel with sleek design
This Westchester County home is Carbon Home No. 134, a Waccabuc rebuild that pairs commercial-grade steel and concrete with sleek wood cladding and triple-pane glass. Designed by The Up Studio and built by Carbon Custom Builders, the fully electric, net-zero-ready residence is scheduled for completion in early 2027 with a price above $6 million.
Luxury buyers increasingly want homes engineered like commercial buildings, not traditional wood frames. Robb Report highlights how Carbon Custom Builders is applying that philosophy on a wooded clearing overlooking the Lower Hudson Valley, where panoramic views and long-term durability matter as much as aesthetics.

Why Is Steel Reinforcement Changing Luxury Home Design in Westchester?
Top-end residences are adopting structural systems once reserved for commercial construction. Extensive steel framing allows larger glass walls and fewer interior columns, according to Robb Report.
At this Westchester County home, those reinforcements support an open floor plan while improving durability. The project raises floors, lifts ceilings, and integrates high-performance internal systems alongside smart-home controls.
Set above the tree line on a sunny clearing, the wood-clad structure softens clean modern geometry. Carbon Custom Builders, headquartered in Westchester County, positioned the residence to maximize views across rolling hills.
What Features Define Carbon Home No. 134?
Renderings show a combined living and dining room wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. The adjacent kitchen centers on a waterfall island, and both spaces open onto a covered dining porch.
Inside roughly 5,500 square feet of conditioned space, five bedrooms include a primary suite with a ribbon of windows behind the bed. The stone-and-wood bathroom floods with natural light.
Outdoor living adds another 1,500 square feet. A rooftop terrace with a hot tub uses glass railings to preserve sightlines, while stepped terraces descend to a custom pool. Triple-pane glazing creates what the listing describes as radical transparency from kitchen through dining terrace to the valley beyond.
How Much Will This Westchester County Home Cost?
