Ali Della Bitta
Artist and designer Ali Della Bitta brings a deep understanding of material, form, and craftsmanship to every space she helps create. She received her BFA from the University of North Carolina Greensboro and her MFA from Purchase College in New York, developing a practice rooted in sculpture, ceramics, and the relationship between objects, environments, and human experience.
Through her collaborative work with Drew, Ali brings an artist’s perspective to contemporary home building, approaching each project as a carefully considered composition of landscape, architecture, and experience. Her ability to see the potential of materials and environments allows each home to feel intentional, connected, and deeply rooted in its surroundings.
Drew Goerlitz

His practice is deeply rooted in the natural world, with a particular connection to the rugged landscapes of the Adirondacks. His work explores themes of environmental change, sustainability, and our evolving relationship with the places we inhabit. Through an understanding of material, scale, structure, and movement, Drew creates work that feels both grounded in its surroundings and distinctly of its time.
As co-founder of Contemporary North, Drew brings his experience as an artist and builder into the design and construction of homes that thoughtfully connect architecture, art, and the natural environment. He lives and works in the Adirondack region of Upstate New York.
