River House Project

The River House Project reclaims a turn-of-the-century elementary school, meticulously and historically restored to its original glory, to create a stunning and spacious work studio space in the city of Hudson, NY. With a focus on film, media, design and innovation professionals, it is the first such facility in the region. Over four floors of light-filled former classrooms, River House Project serves the region’s growing creative economy by providing offices, studios and creative suites for industry professionals. After decades of abandonment, River House was brought back to life through co-founders Melissa Auf der Maur’s and Tony Stone’s vision to save the historic building while fostering creativity, culture and collaboration to assure it remains an anchor within the community. This this one-of-a-kind professional workspace allows a growing creative sector to take further root in the region. River House serves as a model of energy efficiency and exemplary reuse, reconstructed to retain its stately and solid structure as well as much of its historic appointments. It artfully marries cutting-edge technology with elegant, historic architecture.
