International architecture office Studio Gang<\/a> has completed the Samuel H Scripps Theatre in Upstate New York<\/a> for local theatre company Hudson Valley Shakespeare, which opens to the surrounding valley and is covered in a mass-timber<\/a> shell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in Garrison, New York, on a 98-acre campus, the Samuel H Scripps Theater Center will be the first-ever permanent home and theatre for Hudson Valley Shakespeare<\/a> (HVS), which has been performing in a tent since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

The theatre seats 451 in a central amphitheatre, with a row of rectangular volumes that house utility spaces behind it.<\/p>\n

It is only partially enclosed and frames a view of the Hudson Highlands as a backdrop for performances.<\/p>\n

“The building’s curved mass timber structure harmonises with the natural beauty of the site while modelling a more sustainable future for cultural and performing arts spaces,” said Studio Gang founding partner Jeanne Gang<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“This new theater not only preserves and enhances the unique qualities of HVS’s open-air performances, but also provides state-of-the-art facilities that support actors, staff, and audiences alike.<\/p>\n

Inside the theatre, its mass-timber structure is exposed, and was infilled with additional wood panels. Two main walkways lead up into the theatre stage, while the back is at ground level, and runs straight into the lawn beyond.<\/p>\n

A series of gabled-roof structures expands from the back of the theatre. They contain a large bathroom pavilion, a concession stand and support spaces such as a green room and staff offices.<\/p>\n
