Hudson Woods Brings Together Architecture, Design and Nature

By Ann Binlot Published December 4, 2015

Hudson Woods is a new concept for living that brings together elegant architecture, the best makers and a gorgeous setting. Located over 131 acres, Hudson Woods features 26 dwellings designed by Lang Architects in Kerhonkson, a small hamlet located in Upstate New York.

The idyllic homes are set in an area with amazing mountain views, forests and meadows. Drew Lang and his firm seek out to “create authentic, meaningful experiences at every turn.”

And that they do, with makers like Kaufmann Mercantile’s coveted accessories for the home, SMEG’s stylish retro-inspired refridgerators, hardware by Sun Valley Bronze, modular storage by USM Haller, outdoor furniture by D’Apostraphe, and furniture from the likes of Carl Hansen and Søn, Fern, Micahel Robbins and more. All you have to do is choose what you want.

According to the website, “Set amidst forests and meadows with sweeping mountain views, Hudson Woods homes offer modern design that blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. More than a place, Hudson Woods is an experience that opens doors to discovering the things that matter. Family. Friends. Sport. Craft. Hudson Woods lets you access it all.”

That sounds like a dream to us! Nature, design and more, located in New York, surrounded by the finest makers and vendors in the business. Peace and fresh air will be all yours, and they even offer guides, petcare, beekeeping, personal training and more. We can’t wait to pay this new concept in living a visit next time we need to get away from the city and return to nature.

The first movie from Materialists director Celine Song just found a new streaming home

The movie is a brilliant look at the roads not taken.

The cast of Past Lives

Few directors have a debut feature that's as splashy as Celine Song's. The director, who now has Materialists in theaters, had a breakout hit at Sundance called Past Lives that took her all the way to the Oscars. Now that Materialists is in theaters and doing quite well, you might want to catch up with Past Lives, which was one of the best movies of 2023.

The film stars Greta Lee and is told in episodes that span more than 20 years. It starts in South Korea, and follows two Korean children who are clearly close friends and may even have a romantic spark as one of them prepares to move to Canada. Then, we follow their story over decades as they come into and out of each other's lives until they're both in their mid-30s and they reunite for a day in New York City.
