T Space by Steven Holl Architects

In an area of 16.00 m2 in Dutchess County, New York, a new space “T” wooden house sits close to a “U” stone since 1952, which has an addition of steel “L” since 2001 . The new gallery floats on the natural landscape. She has nine steel columns and nine lifts, all integrated through a ratio of 1:1,618 (golden ratio). A natural skin Cedar 2 × 2 is suspended on stainless steel screws. You do not have plumbing or plaster finishes. The interiors are finished with painted plywood and the floor is made of plywood, sanded with all the patina of 4 months of exposure during the construction process.

The windows are wood, doors and skylights were specially built for this space. The gallery is from the east on a wooden ramp with a slope very friendly, and can go through an additional ramp to the south elevation which is a large pivoting wall.

The light comes from skylights, for aboriginal women cut 7.6 meters of natural lighting on the walls, eliminating the need for electricity.
