"The Ex of In House sits on 28 acres that were originally meant to be split into five suburban homes. Instead, the land was preserved as one continuous property."
"Holl's idea was to create a space that remains visually cohesive, with very little concealed. Today, it's positioned less as a standalone home and more as part of a larger experimental landscape."
"The house is made almost entirely from raw materials: mahogany window and door frames, birch plywood walls, and thin curved layers of wood throughout."
"Super-insulated plywood construction minimizes the use of steel, and like most of Holl's other properties, there's notably no drywall, nor any cosmetic finish."
The Ex of In House, designed by Steven Holl in Rhinebeck, New York, is a 918-square-foot structure that embodies a unique architectural philosophy. Completed in 2016, it sits on 28 acres of preserved land, designed to blend with the surrounding forest. The house features raw materials like mahogany and birch plywood, with a focus on creating an interior experience rather than a standalone object. Its design compresses and folds inward, minimizing sprawl and emphasizing a connection to the environment.
