Item Description
Spend a weekend at this extraordinary house located in a nature preserve in historic Rhinebeck, NY. The Ex of In House explores a language of space, aimed at inner spatial energy strongly bound to the ecology of the place, while questioning current clichés of architectural language and commercial practice. A built manifestation of the research and development project Explorations of IN, which has been in development at Steven Holl Architects since 2014.
As a compact form measuring 918 sq. ft. on a site of twenty-eight preserved rural acres, the house serves as an alternative to modernist suburban houses that “sprawl in the landscape”. Instead, the Ex of In is a house of compression and inner voids. The house’s geometry is formed from spherical spaces intersecting with tesseract trapezoids intended as a catalyst of volumetric inner space. The geometry of the spherical intersections begins to be felt at the entry porch, where an orb of wood carved out of the house volume welcomes the entrant. Situated around one main volume, open to the second level, with the kitchen placed in the center, the house creates alternative use patterns. There are zero bedrooms, yet the house can sleep five. Instead of using fossil fuel, the house is heated geothermally. Instead of grid power, the house has electricity from the sun.
