A film and digital selection of photos from my visit, two weeks ago, to Ohayo Mountain House in Glenford, NY.
Spent a weekend upstate photographing the completion of this beautiful project amidst the Catskills landscape, as well as the “Sense of Place” exhibition it currently hosts until May 31. A contemporary show curated by @available_items that brings together art and design pieces from all over the Hudson Valley. From every angle and under any light conditions, the architecture and art displayed worked in unison to become a sight to behold.
Big thanks to Amin for the invitation, his trust and support of my work, along with a kind and warm welcome to learn more about the efforts involved to bring his vision to life!
BenDi collection is a family of aluminum furniture shaped by transforming flat sheets into structural and volumetric forms.
Utilizing precision laser cutting and brake folding, BenDi celebrates the "industrial soul" of aluminum—leveraging its superior strength-to-weight ratio and signature soft, light-diffusing texture. The result is a collection that is as much a study in light and shadow as it is in functional durability.
We will present this collection in #ICFF2026 as part of the #launchpad curated by @wanteddesign

Ohayo Mountain House is the first in a series of houses we plan to develop in the Hudson Valley. These projects challenge the typological conventions of single-family houses in suburban areas and offer a systematic, operational alternative to current practices in architecture and construction.
The Ohayo Mountain House is organized around a central rock garden, which will serve as the main gathering place for residents. The in-out relationship of the spaces is immediate, making the outdoor space an active part of the house's daily circulation and life.
The architectural team is involved in these projects at every step, from feasibility and land acquisition to funding, design, and execution. This approach not only provides the project with a holistic vision but also significantly reduces the need to allocate funds and staff to transmit data and information between parties in each step and, ultimately, prevents negotiated claims and compromises.

Our hearts are full from an enchanting evening at Ohayo Mountain House celebrating the opening of SENSE OF PLACE*.
Thank you @amintadj for giving us this incredible opportunity and to all of the designers and artists for believing in this project. It was a labor of love but we are immensely proud of the results and the beautiful symbiosis between well-crafted objects and thoughtfully designed architecture. We are constantly blown away by the amount of talented folks in our orbit and are profoundly grateful to call the Hudson Valley home.
Thank you @grantgulla for capturing the moment, @cheeselouiseny for the delicious spread and @deweyswines for the delightful vino!
*no white couches were harmed in the making of this event 😅
Ohayo Mountain House honors the amazing vernacular architecture and beautiful landscape of the Hudson Valley.
The house is even more captivating in the early morning light, with tree shadows dancing on the wood siding facade!
