Studio Gang has completed the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, a new cultural venue for Hudson Valley Shakespeare in Garrison, New York. The 26,000 sq ft building seats 451 and is set in the landscape of the Hudson Valley, with Nelson Byrd Woltz as landscape architect.
The theatre sits under a low, sweeping canopy carried on an exposed timber structure. Photographs of the completed building show the stage and seating bowl opening towards the surrounding hills and the Hudson River, so the valley forms part of the setting for each performance. Paths and planting connect the building to the grounds around it.
The project is targeting LEED Platinum certification.
Studio Gang is an architecture and urban design practice. The Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center is one of its recently completed cultural projects.
