‘T’ Space will open New Hudson Valley Houses on September 7, 2025, at the Archive Gallery in Rhinebeck, NY. The exhibition brings together work from five architects, namely Stan Allen, Garrick Ambrose, Steven Holl, Toshiko Mori Architect, and MOS, showcasing ten recently designed houses located within three hours of New York City.

Presented exclusively through models and drawings, the exhibition focuses on the design process rather than completed photography. The selected projects vary in stage and form, but share four guiding principles: preservation of the Hudson Valley landscape, individual expression, attention to materiality and scale, and ecological integration with the natural environment.

The works highlight strategies such as minimizing site disturbance, pursuing unique architectural expressions beyond mass-market norms, exploring domestic architecture as a testing ground for light and proportion, and adopting sustainable systems including solar, geothermal, and green roofs.
