For particularly enterprising practitioners such as Mark Bearak, who began hosting when his family outgrew their house, it offers all of the above: The architect and Airbnb Superhost has designed a home that is both utterly unique and highly accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with a modernist concept and executing it with contemporary design savvy, financial discipline, and a dash of site-specificity, Bearak\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/rooms\/38125330\">Hudson Pool House<\/a> is \u201csomething truly rare for the East Coast,\u201d he says. On the one hand \u2014 if the glowing guest reviews and press coverage are any indication \u2014 the house lives up to his principle that \u201cunique is paramount.\u201d On the other, the home is also the first (but surely not the last) \u2018Open Source\u2019 house. \u201cGuests are free to take the home design and build it for themselves,\u201d says Bearak.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100254 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?resize=1200%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/c2871363-cec6-48ac-be0f-e11f8d51e80c.jpeg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, most guests will simply enjoy the architectural gem the old-fashioned way: by living in it, as Bearak and his family did (and still sometimes do). The New York City-based architect and his husband Michael Moore acquired a vacant lot in Hudson, NY, in 2016, and envisioned a series of structures on the site, starting with a pool house that they could use as a weekend getaway while they determined their long-term needs for further buildings.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas his firm dtls.Architecture normally works closely with clients \u2014\u00a0\u201cwe say that the client sets the course and we steer the ship\u201d \u2014\u00a0Bearak found himself with a rare opportunity to experiment with Hudson Pool House. \u201cWhen my family built the house, we didn&#8217;t have clients as collaborators, so we riffed off of the case study concept,\u201d explains the architect. The architect designed this house and others as templates for a project he named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dtlsarc.com\/open-source\">Open Source<\/a>, putting the plans online and making them available for anyone to download and utilize as they wish. \u201cIt is meant for everyone to enjoy,\u201d explains Bearak. \u201cAll of our Open Source designs are free for people to rebuild, modify and remix for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-100258 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=1626%2C1070&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1626\" height=\"1070\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?w=1626&amp;ssl=1 1626w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=300%2C197&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=1024%2C674&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=768%2C505&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=1536%2C1011&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-20-at-3.30.11-PM.png?resize=400%2C263&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home \u2014 inspired by Pierre Koenig\u2019s iconic \u2018Stahl House,\u2019 a 1960 case-study home in the Hollywood Hills \u2014 Bearak achieved a cost-conscious, jewel box design by setting a series of off-the-shelf sliding doors in a glulam timber structure. Two felicitous upgrades to the original design proved to be paramount when it came to hosting on Airbnb: the pool, which is the main attraction for many guests, and the smart home system, to control the lighting, sound, A\/C, and shades via iPad.<\/p>\n<p>As photogenic as the house is, Bearak also emphasizes that \u201cit is impossible to understand the home&#8217;s connection with nature through photos \u2014\u00a0the size of the spaces and the landscaping consistently tie the inside out.\u201d Moreover, since he and his husband conceived of the project as a landscape with a home embedded into it, accessibility became a key consideration. \u201cWe wanted to make the pool-to-house connection as seamless as possible \u2026 not only is it all on a single level, but we went to great lengths to minimize elevation changes between the interior and exterior.\u201d This makes Hudson Pool House an exemplary Airbnb home \u2014 more accessible for more guests to enjoy.<\/p>\n<p><img

did not have Airbnb in mind when he first designed the pool house, hosting has proven to be a valuable pivot for them \u2014\u00a0and one that is very much in keeping with the spirit of making modern design available to a wider audience. \u201cEventually our family outgrew the house, so we opened it up to guests,\u201d he relates. \u201cWe love the idea that modern architecture can spread to all architecture fans, and we have used hosting as a chance to connect with fellow architecture enthusiasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bearak has discovered another benefit of hosting. \u201cWe have had dozens of guests who have turned into clients,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes they are just looking for design advice, while others have engaged us to design their homes.\u201d He also says that, while the Open Source design is technically available to anyone who wants it for free, most of his clients prefer to customize based on their tastes, providing his firm with additional business.<\/p>\n<p>As for the income from hosting, Bearak and his family have put it toward upgrading the property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don&#8217;t really know what the future holds,\u201d Bearak says. \u201cWe\u2019re just excited and grateful that guests at the house share our same enthusiasm for modern architecture!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Bearak\u2019s story has you feeling inspired to try hosting your own architectural gem, <a
