Hudson Modern showcases stunning new houses in the Hudson River
Valley that embrace the dramatic settings and cultural bounty of
this popular region. As the birthplace of American landscape
painting, the Hudson River Valley has long been a refuge from the
city and a laboratory for new aesthetic expression. Today, thanks
to its ascendant reputation as a weekend utopia, architects are
extending that tradition into the built environment. Designing
residences that revere local climate, landscape, and history in a
distinctly modernist language, these talents are sowing a new
Hudson River school of architectural thought. Hudson Modern surveys
this emerging domestic architecture, featuring nearly twenty houses
that integrate with site and region through composition, scale, and
materials, and which strike a balance between innovation and
rootedness. A reconstructed midcentury house accented in cedar,
walnut, and bluestone by Joel Sanders and landscaped by the late
Diana Balmori blurs the edge of habitation and nature.
KieranTimberlake revises the classic vision of a glass box by
cladding a home on a rocky site in Pound Ridge in a tapestry of
steel, aluminum, copper, and glass. In Rhinebeck, Steven Holl
experiments with a radical form that has both ecological and social
dimensions. Author David Sokol presents these and numerous other
examples of design-forward residences that are responsive to
terrain, building vernacular, and cultural legacy. Together, the
new Hudson Valley houses point a way forward for rural living in
the twenty-first century.
