EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Step inside historic homes and see and learn about many more as we tour one of Westchester’s “hidden” midcentury modern neighborhoods in New Rochelle!

The belief that aesthetics, practicality, and affordability could be simultaneously achieved was a major driving force behind the construction of many midcentury modern houses. Entire neighborhoods like Bayberry in New Rochelle were developed with these principles in mind.

When Bayberry began in the 1950s it was an instant hit. Thirty minutes from Manhattan, thoughtfully designed and fashionable homes with all the modern conveniences, broad streets, wooded lots, and a private pool - who could want more? Around 200 homes went up in the four Bayberry models offered, while some residents chose to build their home using an outside designer.

Join us for the unique experience to tour this charming 1950s neighborhood and step inside three of its most exciting homes. Interior stops include two Bayberry model homes—one was expanded and renovated in 1983 by Suffern contemporary architect James Tanner and the other was sensitively expanded in 2025 by its owner, architect Alex Kovenant.

The third interior tour will be at the award-winning 1955 Berman-Prisant Model House designed by leading midcentury modern architect George Nemeny.

The tour will be led by Alexandra Kovenat, AIA a Bayberry resident and 2025 Chapter President of AIA Westchester + Hudson Valley. She leads Chroma Architecture, a boutique architecture and design firm that specializes in adaptive reuse, thoughtful renovations and energy positive construction.

Walking tour. Offered one day only. Space is limited.

Two times available: 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Tour length approximately two hours.

The tour will take place in the Bayberry neighborhood in New Rochelle. Specific meet-up location and information provided in your confirmation email.

AIA MEMBERS: Earn 2 continuing education unit credits when you attend this tour!

The AIA Westchester + Hudson Valley Architectural Foundation is an independent not-for profit charitable organization dedicated to advancing the profession of architecture through various forms of outreach. Please consider making a donation, which will contribute to their annual college scholarships for residents in their chapter area enrolled in an architecture program. We thank you for your support of future architects!

AIA learning objectives

1. Learn and experience how PUDs (Planned Urban Developments) became a common form of suburban development in the New York metro area after World War II.  

2. See different model homes from the inside and out. Understand how their original design concepts and sensitive modern expansions and improvements followed specific tenets of mid-century modern design.

3. Recognize improvements to existing buildings thermal performance. View easily constructable wall assemblies with domestic materials on existing structural framing and how a new geothermal system ties into existing air ducts.   

4. Understand the challenges of renovating old pool structures to conform with stringent modern Department of Health codes while preserving the original architecture of the pool house and pools forms.

AIAWHV 2025 Latinos in Architecture

Date:  October 16, 2025
Time:  1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Venue: Zoom
Price:  AIA Free || Associate AIA Free || Students Free || Non member Free, Registration Required.

The course is intended to help the audience learn about hesitation, when to say yes, when to say no, and pushing through to ensure you're doing the best for yourself within the professional world. They will learn to advocate for themselves.

Learning Objectives

Career path - Learn what different options there are within the industry and realize you don't have to choose immediately. It can be overwhelming but finding the right mentors and learning more about what makes you excited and curious will be key.

Finding the right opportunities - Once you realize what you want to do, it's time to do some research. There are databases for events within AIA, NOMA, local architecture organizations - but consider industry events and other opportunities not related. We intersect with consultants, contractors, and other industries all the time. We can learn from them just as equally as they can from us.

Promote yourself - Being Latina, we are taught to be humble and respect our elders. Both of these things work against us in the professional world. Obviously, always have respect for your superiors, but speak up. It's not the same as not being able to say no to your abuela. You need to be able to find your voice and showcase your talents.

Grow your audience and community - Keep in touch with your friends and community often. Make calendar reminders to grab lunch or coffee with them a few times out of the year so you never lose track. When you meet someone while networking, do the same. These connections and instances will be a good habit to keep and something they will eventually remember and look forward to.

archtobernewburgh INTRODUCING: Architect's Bookshelf - SEE BELOW FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO DONATE A BOOK

EVENT DESCRIPTION: Two Timber Tales
Mass timber construction offers a myriad of benefits, including lower embodied carbon, constructional efficiencies, and lighter assemblies as compared to traditional steel and concrete construction. In addition, mass timber provides visual character and warmth to building interiors, promoting occupant welfare and potentially reducing the number of interior finishes required. How can architects advocate for its use and successfully integrate mass timber into projects? In a presentation led by Principal Kim Yao, FAIA, learn how Architecture Research Office utilized mass timber in two completed projects – Milgard Hall at the University of Washington’s Tacoma campus, and The Frederic Church Center for Art and Landscape at the Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Each attendee will gain an understanding of varied ways that mass timber can be integrated into their work.
Learning Objectives:
• Incorporate mass timber into varied assemblies within a building.
• Advocate for the use of mass timber based on its embodied carbon benefits.
• Articulate financial advantages for mass timber compared to traditional structural systems.
• Assess different public procurement methods for mass timber projects, including design-build and design-bid-build.

• Please bring a hard hat if possible

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Join Teo Quintana, Senior Project Leader at Studio Gang, and Kendra Ekelund, Managing Director of Hudson Valley Shakespeare and Caren Amicone and Chuck Hunter from Consigli Construction, for a hard hat tour of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, which is currently under construction in Garrison, NY. Overlooking the Hudson Highlands, the new theater is designed to enhance functionality and elevate the theatrical experience by bringing architecture and nature together. A curved, timber-framed roof structure extends the performance season and creates a visual dialogue with the surrounding ridgelines, while the stage’s proscenium arch is oriented to frame picturesque views that become a natural backdrop for performances. The design also provides greater versatility for actors, audiences, and back-of-house operations through improved rehearsal, performance, and amenity spaces; expanded accessibility; and technical additions that offer new opportunities for HVS productions. The theater’s mass timber structure and cladding, as well as the revitalization of the surrounding landscape, are among several sustainability features that will help it become the first purpose-built open-air theater to achieve LEED Platinum certification in the United States.  

The tour will be followed by the matinee performance of Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s Octet, a hauntingly original new musical by Dave Malloy about members of an addiction support group searching for human connection in the digital age. Featuring rich harmonies and intricate vocal arrangements, Octet finds compelling human drama in our middle-of-the-night anxieties about the impact of technology on the nature of our relationships.

Description: 

Join Marica McKeel, AIA, principal of Studio MM for a tour of the firm’s IRIE House project in Ulster County.  Organized along a singular axis that extends from interior to exterior, the house is composed of three distinct volumes. The main house includes an expansive main suite, a sunken living room and a screen porch for summer evenings. A covered walkway stretching along the main axis leads to the art studio, gym and guest suite, and then continues to the carport and garage. Created for a couple that works from home, but who enjoy spending time together, the house is designed with multiple outdoor spaces in which they can come together for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. This session explores how a clear client vision, strong site orientation and thoughtful architectural design can result in a unique and lasting home.

Learning Objectives:
1. Analyze how a linear floor plan with a strong central axis can encourage movement, promote connection and create privacy.
2. Evaluate strategies for maximizing indoor-outdoor relationships through the use of site orientation, glazing, courtyards, and multiple outdoor spaces that have distinct relationships with the site.
3. Understand the importance of designing to client lifestyle and identity—such as incorporating specialized spaces like art studios, home gyms, and functional laundry rooms—in creating personalized and enduring homes.
4. Examine how the use of millwork and other built-in elements can create functionality, privacy, and spatial division and hierarchy, while retaining the spirit of an open plan home.
