Gary Hume and Georgie Hopton's home in Accord, New York.
"Shortly after the Young British Artists boom of the 1990s, the London-based couple Gary Hume and Georgie Hopton decided to expand their operations with a second home in upstate New York, working between the two cities. They found an idyllic 19th-century farmstead in the hamlet of Accord in the Hudson Valley and put down new roots.
....
Hume and Hopton discovered Accord after visiting the home of a friend, British painter Nicola Tyson, in a neighboring village. So they sniffed around until they found a gem of their own, which they have lovingly restored and then some, leaving “their unique stamp on nearly every inch” of its 41.5 acres, according to the listing with Compass real estate.
The couple has, in those 20 years, built the property up into what they call a “creative compound.” The secluded getaway boasts a 2,300-square-foot main house with three bedrooms, three fireplaces, and country-style touches everywhere, from hand-painted wallpaper and freestanding tubs to exposed wood beams and a “rocking chair porch” in back.
....
As charming as the main house is, the star attraction has to be the three studios, each its own structure. The saw-toothed roof of Hume’s studio at the top of a hill can be glimpsed from nearly every spot on the property. In fact, the 4,500-square-foot space with 25-foot vaulted ceilings, plus an exterior of weathered Cor-Ten steel, can’t be missed.
Hopton’s studio, too, features large skylights that bathe the space in natural light, while the one dubbed the Little Studio is the coziest of the bunch, with its rustic sitting room and loft-like bedroom.
