Familiar mixed with modern for bold compositions of light, space and line.

Barry Price Architecture combines familiar elements with modern techniques to achieve lasting compositions of light, space, and line. Each project reconciles the regional climatic demands with regionally informed modern architecture and construction. Recent projects refine the “agri-modern style” by using renewable energy and high-performance building strategies, and long life-cycle materials. It is the balance between the production of buildings and their relationship to the natural environment that informs and inspires the work of the studio.

Barry Price began his Woodstock, New York, architectural practice in 1996. Drawn to upstate New York by the beauty and diversity of the Hudson Valley, his work is informed by the agricultural buildings that form the primary building fabric of the region. His prior experience in Boston and Los Angeles includes commercial and institutional architectural projects, project management for a landscape design practice, and production management for an electric stringed instrument manufacturer. Coupled with extensive architecture instruction to undergraduates, the diversity of Barry's experience informs the range of tectonic, formal and compositional strategies employed in his work.

Team

Russell Krysiak, Project Manager, is a Certified Sustainable Building Advisor (CSBA) focusing on sustainable building practices. Trained in the craft tradition, and maintaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in metalsmithing, he has developed and refined skills working in wood, glass and leather, among other media. Having completed apprenticeships with artists including Mary Frank and Martin Puryear, Russell pursues the design and fabrication of objects of his own design in his Lomontville, New York, studio.

Brian Walker has master’s degrees in both fine arts and architecture. With experience in the design, coordination and realization of projects ranging from retail to institutional programs, he contributes a specialized knowledge of the diverse materials, methods and procedures associated with the production of such complex forms of architecture.
