Far Hills occupies a singular position in northern New Jersey's residential landscape: a small borough of exceptional homes, historic equestrian properties, and a long-established culture of understated elegance. YZDA, led by principal designer Satomi Yoshida-Katz and based in Short Hills, is well matched to this community. The studio's design philosophy, human-centered, globally informed, and deeply collaborative, fits naturally with clients who have a clear sense of how they want to live and are looking for a design partner who listens before proposing. Projects in Far Hills and the surrounding Somerset County hunt country often involve historic or architecturally significant properties, where the work is as much about honoring the bones of a home as it is about introducing contemporary comfort and personal expression. YZDA's thirteen consecutive years of Best of Houzz recognition reflect the studio's sustained commitment to this kind of considered, unhurried design practice.

Designing in Far Hills
Far Hills sits within the broader Somerset Hills area, bordered by the Raritan River to the north and the rolling countryside that hosts the annual Far Hills Race Meeting each October. The residential architecture here tends toward the formal and the historic: fieldstone manor houses, shingled Colonials, and working farm properties that have been carefully converted and updated over generations. Designing within this context requires a sensitivity to scale, material authenticity, and the particular light conditions of properties surrounded by open land and mature woodland.
