'T' Space Presents New Hudson Valley Houses by Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori, and Others at the Archive Gallery
Briefly

New Hudson Valley Houses opens September 7 at the Archive Gallery in Rhinebeck, New York, and gathers ten recently designed homes by Stan Allen, Garrick Ambrose, Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori Architect, and MOS, all within three hours of New York City. The presentation uses models and drawings rather than photography to foreground the architectural process and conceptual foundations. The projects prioritize landscape preservation, individual expression, materiality, scale, and ecological integration through strategies like minimizing site disturbance, testing light and proportion, and implementing solar, geothermal, and green roofs. The work positions the Hudson Valley as a testing ground for landscape-responsive residential experimentation.
'T' Space will open New Hudson Valley Houses on September 7 at the Archive Gallery in Rhinebeck, New York. The exhibition gathers ten recently designed homes by architects Stan Allen, Garrick Ambrose, Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori Architect, and MOS, all located within three hours of New York City. Rather than showcasing completed works through photography, the presentation relies exclusively on models and drawings, inviting visitors into the architectural process and the conceptual foundations behind each project.
Although the houses are at different stages of design, they share four guiding principles: the preservation of the Hudson Valley landscape, the pursuit of individual architectural expression, an emphasis on materiality and scale, and ecological integration with the natural environment. These priorities manifest in strategies such as minimizing site disturbance, using domestic architecture as a testing ground for light and proportion, and pursuing sustainable systems, including solar, geothermal, and green roofs.
Each participating practice approaches this context through a distinct lens. Stan Allen explores the intersection of architecture, vernacular traditions, and landscape, often through houses and studios that emphasize direct engagement with the site. Garrick Ambrose focuses on architecture's capacity to connect people to culture and the natural world, building on experience across scales from small studios to major cultural institutions.
