Sylvan Rock is the first of its kind micro compound luxury residential real estate development, created by S3 Architecture, the first private residential estate designed by Aston Martin.

Sylvan Rock firmly embraces the natural landscape, subscribing to the thesis a residence and the land that it lives in should blend together seamlessly. Located on 55 beautiful acres of land in Rhinebeck, New York, only 90 minutes from Manhattan, the project is a truly visionary example of elegant architecture responding to a re-imagined modern lifestyle.

SYLVAN ROCK X ASTON MARTIN
“The estate is a strong marriage of design sensibilities. Creating a luxury residence with warm textures, bold forms and exceptional privacy is very aligned with Aston Martin’s own vision. We wanted the owner and their guests to experience the three-dimensional feel of the house in an organic way, just like you experience one of our cars – there is no single façade that dominates. Fully integrated into its surroundings and the community, Sylvan Rock is rare example of a complete residential work of art.”
– Cathal Loughnane, Head of Aston Martin Partnerships

S3 ARCHITECTURE AND THE UPSTATE MODERNIST
Blending a distinctly modernist aesthetic with natural materials, warm textures and traditional forms, the Upstate Modernist™ collection of homes by S3 Architecture offers a re-imagined modern lifestyle. Each property starts with a preservation-focused plan maintaining natural spaces and sight lines. Every home is unique and site specific, designed to respond to the natural characteristics of the land on which it sits and built with sustainable and efficient building techniques.

INSENSATION ADVANCED FRAMELESS DOORS
Insensation delivered a range of 10 foot frameless doors for this sophisticated residence. A combination of our advanced Frameless Swing, Frameless Pocket, Frameless Pivot and Frameless Duo doors were installed.

The residence listed for $7.7 million and is sold.

ALPI WOOD BY DESIGN

August 27, 2025

Insensation is pleased to announce a new line of Italian real wood veneers from ALPI for large-scale, exclusive projects. Made of real wood, ALPIlignum is a non-printed, designable product made by disassembling and reassembling the raw material in infinite ways, creating a limitless number of wood types, finishes and patterns for veneer. The company creates its woods, offering different and novel textural effects inspired by the world of nature and that of design par excellence. A precise design approach hones every phase to transform the material, surpassing conventional parameters of development to achieve true Wood by Design.

ALPIlignum is the base element of production at ALPI. Assiduous research and development combined with technological innovation and artisanship have resulted in a reconstituted wood that is the heart and symbol of the ALPI universe.

The exclusive ALPI veneers are available on all Insensation doors immediately.

UPDATED : FS2INCH FRAMELESS DOORS

August 11, 2025

Our advanced FS2 frameless doors are pre-assembled and pre-hung and have 2” thick slabs, Intact Intelligent Installation™, a huge integration of hardware and surface finishes, Slam-Side Protection™ and are being chosen by architects building top quality homes across the USA. The new improved doors and frames are a quantum improvement over all other frames on the US market. We are pleased to release FS2, which costs less than half of any comparable high-end frameless door.

 

New innovative flush handles for both frameless pocket and frameless swing doors.

 

ADVANTAGES

1. Re-designed frames and doors which further eliminate structural problems seen in steel-frame and thin frame products.

2. More tolerance for skim coating and taping, enabling the strongest frameless doors on the market.

3. Integration of new hardware options: advanced flush locks and handles for swing doors and pocket doors.

 

4. Includes One-Person™ installation brackets. One person can easily install these doors, without a video, without a complex instruction guide. Contractors in every state install our doors. For contractors who want to outsource this work, we offer installation services in Florida and New York.

5. Includes pre-assembled door and frame – all components are pre-milled and pre-installed before delivery. Other frameless doors are trying to copy the pre-assembly we have been doing for 5 years, but their doors are thin (poor acoustic) and their pre-assembly usually means all in one box, but not completely pre-milled and pre-assembled like Insensation doors.

 

The new 5/8” version of our Frameless Swing doors also enables the integration of wood panels up to 18 mm.

 

FS2INCH is now available in both our unique 1/2” and 5/8” drywall versions. Frameless doors have never been so easy to install, so durable, and have so many features for architects and interior designers to express their individuality.

You will enjoy implementing FS2. Better design, faster installations.

INNOVATION #2195: THIN ROSETTE

July 15, 2025

LESS THICKNESS MORE IMPACT
Our new slim knob rosette, just 6 millimeters thick, redefines the concept of discreet aesthetics.

ARCHITECTURAL PURITY IN JUST 6MM.
ideal choice for applications where detail and accuracy play a leading role.

THE PERFECT SIZE
6mm is the perfect size for architectural projects of high aesthetic value, where the goal is to minimize visual volume without compromising strength or functionality.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Its minimal design integrates harmoniously into any modern space, allowing the design to breathe. It is available in a variety of finishes, in line with the highest standards of aesthetics and functionality.

2195 SLIM ROUND ROSETTE
Our new round, slim rosette was exactly what was missing from every project. An elegant detail that respects the geometry of the door and highlights the knob without any fuss, an accessory that makes its presence known discreetly.

2185 SLIM SQUARE ROSETTE
Of course, a square version is also available. 2185 is its name.

NEW : FLUSH HANDLES

November 7, 2024

MINIMAL DESIGN

Linear, coplanar, essential: Our S0800 handle enhances the design of the minimal door and widens the horizons of the interior designer. Design is no longer just a function as the standard lever is.

The S0800 handle offers a secure and comfortable grip. The handle design always remains coherent with the available possibilities of closing: without a key, for the bathroom with a coplanar knob and with a European profile cylinder.

PRE-INSTALLED

Like all Insensation doors, we specialize in making installation as easy as possible. If you order the S0800 on your doors, it will be pre-installed in our factory, saving you hours of work.

MAXIMUM FREEDOM

The S0800 is the first handle that creates a continuity of shape both for swinging, sliding and pocket doors, which have been always very different from the other, and allows the transversality of the handle on all doors of a house.  Like our magnetic locks and 3D concealed hinges, the S0800 is available in silver, black and white.
