1
00:00:44,275 --> 00:00:45,379
When we come here--
2
00:00:45,482 --> 00:00:48,034
it's just a cliche-- but
our shoulders go down
3
00:00:48,137 --> 00:00:50,482
and everything just
sort of slows down.
4
00:00:50,586 --> 00:00:51,862
Your mind gets quiet.
5
00:00:51,965 --> 00:00:55,344
The beauty just kind of takes
over and then makes you stop
6
00:00:55,448 --> 00:00:57,620
and look at your surroundings.
7
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:00,517
And because we live
in New York City,
8
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:05,034
it's an amazing place
to get away and regroup.
9
00:01:05,137 --> 00:01:08,689
So for us, it's
become just a haven.
10
00:01:12,965 --> 00:01:16,827
The cabin design is a
cantilevered cabin that's
11
00:01:16,931 --> 00:01:19,413
built on piers into the hill.
12
00:01:28,103 --> 00:01:30,103
And I think the first thing
you notice when you come in
13
00:01:30,206 --> 00:01:31,896
is just stay the windows.
14
00:01:39,344 --> 00:01:40,689
Each of our rooms has a theme.
15
00:01:42,137 --> 00:01:44,379
We go up to the loft
to listen to music.
16
00:01:44,482 --> 00:01:47,551
So we have a turntable
and we have records.
17
00:01:47,655 --> 00:01:50,448
So we decided to put the
turntable in the loft
18
00:01:50,551 --> 00:01:52,034
and that became our music space.
19
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:57,724
And our bedroom, we
call it the gallery.
20
00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:02,310
We have some important pieces.
21
00:02:02,413 --> 00:02:05,586
Murray's brother, Matt,
he was an amazing artist.
22
00:02:05,689 --> 00:02:08,482
So we have some of
his pieces there.
23
00:02:10,068 --> 00:02:12,000
So we just thought,
oh, this is kind
24
00:02:12,103 --> 00:02:14,206
of a little mini
tiny little gallery.
25
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:17,724
So that's where we have
most of our hanging art.
26
00:02:17,827 --> 00:02:20,793
Our bathroom just became
a [inaudible] theme.
27
00:02:32,551 --> 00:02:35,827
My father's hat that
he wore on his land.
28
00:02:35,931 --> 00:02:38,896
So that was important
just to have there.
29
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,965
Having the opportunity to have
land and as a powerful thing.
30
00:02:42,068 --> 00:02:45,068
For me, it reminded me
of my father's ranch
31
00:02:45,172 --> 00:02:47,586
in Mexico that he
built, because he
32
00:02:47,689 --> 00:02:50,655
wanted a space that was quiet.
33
00:02:50,758 --> 00:02:54,827
Living in Los Angeles,
the sprawl, et cetera,
34
00:02:54,931 --> 00:02:57,000
I think that's when I got it.
35
00:02:57,103 --> 00:03:00,620
You know, it just reminded
me of my father's vision
36
00:03:00,724 --> 00:03:04,620
to find a place where you
can get away, and think
37
00:03:04,724 --> 00:03:07,275
about things, and just
collect your thoughts,
38
00:03:07,379 --> 00:03:09,758
and kind of take a deep breath.
39
00:03:19,379 --> 00:03:24,724
We have a nice deck that we
spend many hours relaxing,
40
00:03:24,827 --> 00:03:29,241
enjoying, laughing with friends,
laughing together, reading
41
00:03:29,344 --> 00:03:32,172
the paper, a lot of reading,
and a lot of staring,
42
00:03:32,275 --> 00:03:34,000
a lot of staring
out into the tree,
43
00:03:34,103 --> 00:03:36,758
and not really doing
anything, which
44
00:03:36,862 --> 00:03:38,275
is just amazing in itself.
45
00:03:42,103 --> 00:03:43,827
We are in Western Massachusetts.
46
00:03:43,931 --> 00:03:45,827
So we're right over
the New York border.
47
00:03:45,931 --> 00:03:49,482
So driving from Manhattan, it's
an easy commute for us, two
48
00:03:49,586 --> 00:03:50,896
and a half hours door to door.
49
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:55,275
The best of every
world you could imagine
50
00:03:55,379 --> 00:03:56,896
is found in the Berkshires.
51
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,172
For us, that's the
best of both worlds.
52
00:04:00,275 --> 00:04:03,068
It's culture, it's arts,
and it's beauty and nature.
53
00:04:07,517 --> 00:04:08,827
You know, I lived
in San Francisco
54
00:04:08,931 --> 00:04:11,275
and I started camping
in the Sierras.
55
00:04:11,379 --> 00:04:15,551
And Marion Doge,
my camping outings.
56
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:19,310
And so we discovered this
place and it was almost
57
00:04:19,413 --> 00:04:20,689
love at first sight for us.
58
00:04:20,793 --> 00:04:22,482
It just felt right.
59
00:04:22,586 --> 00:04:24,517
We felt at home immediately.
60
00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:26,517
So we just kept coming back.
61
00:04:26,620 --> 00:04:29,137
So we purchased
raw land, which
62
00:04:29,241 --> 00:04:33,034
was right adjacent to the
state forest where we camped.
63
00:04:33,137 --> 00:04:35,241
We wanted to get
to know the land,
64
00:04:35,344 --> 00:04:40,068
the sunrise, the sunset, where
we wanted the cabin to be.
65
00:04:40,172 --> 00:04:42,172
So the first step was
just really getting
66
00:04:42,275 --> 00:04:44,517
the infrastructure set
and then just getting
67
00:04:44,620 --> 00:04:47,068
to know the land
before we decided
68
00:04:47,172 --> 00:04:52,827
where we would put the cabin
and where we would settle here.
69
00:04:52,931 --> 00:04:55,586
We had an incredible team,
starting from our realtor
70
00:04:55,689 --> 00:04:57,862
who introduced us to our
contractor and the architect
71
00:04:57,965 --> 00:04:58,758
that we used.
72
00:05:01,275 --> 00:05:03,137
We didn't know that
there was so much ledge.
73
00:05:03,241 --> 00:05:05,206
It's hard to build on.
74
00:05:05,310 --> 00:05:07,448
So just figuring out how
to work with all the ledge
75
00:05:07,551 --> 00:05:08,827
and the engineering involved.
76
00:05:08,931 --> 00:05:12,448
I mean, that was another very
big learning process for us.
77
00:05:22,344 --> 00:05:27,275
Given that our land is steep and
we have 4.9 acres, so it goes
78
00:05:27,379 --> 00:05:31,586
up, we have a vision that we
could have different spots
79
00:05:31,689 --> 00:05:34,448
on the land where we
would have maybe a seating
80
00:05:34,551 --> 00:05:36,000
area or maybe a lookout.
81
00:05:38,275 --> 00:05:41,862
Really what it is, it's
almost like a screened
82
00:05:41,965 --> 00:05:43,965
in patio porch for us.
83
00:05:46,965 --> 00:05:50,482
This [inaudible] property,
I think the beauty of it
84
00:05:50,586 --> 00:05:53,241
is we will have
projects for a lifetime,
85
00:05:53,344 --> 00:05:54,448
which is amazing to me.
86
00:06:05,206 --> 00:06:09,103
So our usual routine was
work all week in New York City
87
00:06:09,206 --> 00:06:11,413
and then come up to the
cabin on the weekends.
88
00:06:11,517 --> 00:06:15,034
So when the pandemic hit, and
New York City, at the time,
89
00:06:15,137 --> 00:06:17,275
was the epicenter
of the pandemic,
90
00:06:17,379 --> 00:06:22,586
and it was extremely stressful,
and we realized that we,
91
00:06:22,689 --> 00:06:25,172
obviously, we had the cabin
that we could come to.
92
00:06:30,931 --> 00:06:35,103
It became something
other than a weekend
93
00:06:35,206 --> 00:06:37,517
fun place or a weekend retreat.
94
00:06:39,517 --> 00:06:41,103
And we got to know the house.
95
00:06:41,206 --> 00:06:44,034
I mean, a little bit like
kicking the tires a bit.
96
00:06:46,517 --> 00:06:50,172
It's a place that I
think we worked really
97
00:06:50,275 --> 00:06:53,896
hard to get here in a way.
98
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,448
But on top of that,
we've made it look nice,
99
00:06:56,551 --> 00:06:58,724
and we've made it
comfortable, and efficient.
100
00:07:00,241 --> 00:07:01,965
But we never thought
it would be a place
101
00:07:02,068 --> 00:07:03,413
that would keep us safe.
102
00:07:03,517 --> 00:07:07,965
We never thought that to that
level that nature and a place
103
00:07:08,068 --> 00:07:12,448
can give you that, which
is really powerful.
