Last Chance for Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House

summerhouse
This week is the last chance to check out the exhibition, “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House,” at Olana.

The 1886 Plan of Olana is highly accurate, however, the plans contain a mysterious structure labeled “Summer House”. According the the Olana site, “Summer houses were common in early American gardens and public landscapes, yet there is no documentary evidence about the style or form of this structure at Olana”. The exhibition asked 21 architects and landscape architects to imagine what the summer house and it’s environs might look like, then sketch those ideas, much in the way Frederic Church used sketches to convey his design and architectural ideas. Each designer was free to explore and combine historic and contemporary design themes.

Apartments Now Available at The Falls in Hudson

The_Falls_Hudson It’s been interesting to watch the progress of The Falls, the new luxury apartment complex in Hudson. The sprawling complex has been under construction for a while now on the site of the former Greenport School located at 158 Union Turnpike in Hudson. The Falls’ owner and developer, JMS Collective, demolished everything on the site, except for the original school building, which was built in the early 1900s. In an effort to retain the original building, the old gymnasium has been turned into into a 200-seat banquet hall.

Phase 1 of construction is now complete, and the first batch of apartments are available for rent. Of the 24 apartments currently available, half have already been leased. The Falls offers one-bedroom apartments at $1,500, two-bedroom units at $1,700, and three-bedroom apartments at $1,950 a month. The first phase has another 52 apartments in the works, which will become available over the next 30 to 90 days. Phase 2 will add an additional 40 units the the complex when completed in 2017.
