Peapack-Gladstone is among the most private and architecturally distinguished communities in all of New Jersey — a borough defined by working equestrian properties, historic stone homes, and a culture that values authenticity over spectacle. YZDA, led by principal designer Satomi Yoshida-Katz and based in Short Hills, has long served clients in Somerset County and brings to Peapack-Gladstone a design process that is equally considered. The studio's approach begins with deep listening: understanding the architecture of the home, the rhythms of the family, and the material quality that a given client gravitates toward before any design direction is proposed. In a community like Peapack-Gladstone, where the homes themselves often carry significant historical character, that restraint and attention to context is especially important. YZDA's thirteen consecutive years of Best of Houzz recognition reflect a practice built on exactly this kind of unhurried, client-centered discipline.

Designing in Peapack-Gladstone
Peapack-Gladstone's residential architecture is among the most varied and historically significant in Somerset County: Federal and Greek Revival manor houses, working horse farms with converted bank barns, and shingled estates set into hillside properties with long views over open pasture. The borough sits at the edge of the Bedminster plateau, where the land opens up dramatically and the scale of the landscape shapes the scale of the buildings on it. Designing here requires an understanding of proportion, natural material, and the particular quality of light in a rural setting — considerations that inform every decision.
