RESOLUTION: 4 ARCHITECTURE’s Post

One of the most exciting and peculiar sights during the course of a modular project's construction is watching the kitchen island get flown through the air on set day!

How do you keep a growing family of four comfortable in a 1200sf apartment? … Maximize storage and space savings solutions to allow smaller spaces to ‘live larger.’ This West 16th Street apartment was at a crossroads between Union Square, Flatiron, and Chelsea neighborhoods - an incredibly central location the family loved that was close to work and school. But with two young kids the apartment felt like it was bursting at the seams. The renovation offered a more efficient layout and loads of clever millwork and storage solutions. See the 3D flythrough animation here: https://buff.ly/47WxE12 The open kitchen/living space is small by most standards, but large windows overlooking the street bring in tons of natural light. The renovation revealed a tall existing vaulted ceiling from the original 1920s loft building, now subtly highlighted with linear lighting that further expands the space. Built-in furniture always saves space. A built-in couch replaces furniture, while a built-in window bench running the length of room both provides additional seating and hides all the kids toys. The dining table is built into the island and can pull out to expand from a 4-seater to a 6-seater, allowing for extra floor space most of the time while also accommodating guests. In the kids bedrooms, the beds are not only lofted with secret doors between the kids rooms, but also offer extra hideaway play space lofted over the hallway.

Details from our Beach Street Loft renovation in NYC. This expansive gut renovation combined two condos in a pre-war industrial loft building. The material palette showed restraint. New elements were largely limited to sand-blasted white-washed white oak millwork, natural white oak floors, and white walls; these paired with the time-worn exposed brick and original wood posts and beams. In this mediative space, a matching ballet bar was added for exercise and stretching. Anodized aluminum pulls were used, seemingly blending with the white-washed oak.

Located on the North Fork of Long Island, the MODERN MODULAR Riverhead House is a 2,000-square-foot prefab home for two families – a brother and sister and their respective spouses and grown children. https://buff.ly/45ZI4Mw The I-shaped plan was programmatically generated to separate public and private space accommodating the functional needs of two families occupying the home simultaneously. The site is a unique beachfront property, offering private beach access, that is surrounded by water on three sides — the Peconic Bay to the south and a creek to the east and north.

Throwback! While it's fun to recall tech from 20 years ago; our Q Loft in NYC, finished in 2004, holds up! https://buff.ly/3B9sbI5 Even more nostalgic fun, it was even featured in a segment on the HGTV show "I Want That Kitchen." https://buff.ly/4gA9Kwe The project was a complete gut renovation designed for Joe Quesada, Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics in New York, and his family. In a former industrial building in Chelsea, the loft occupies and entire floor with full-window exposures and prime urban views. The large floor plate encouraged a strategy of placing ‘volumes-of-program’ to demarcate private vs public zones. With all the natural light, transluscent materials were employed throughout. Frosted glass is used in cabinet doors, pocket doors, partitions, and display shelves that accommodate a large collection of comic artifacts. Oversized sliding glass doors can close down the center of the apartment to turn an open living space into a private theatre. #throwback #modernarchitecture #modernhome #hgtv #kitchendesign #apartmentliving #modernapartment #residentialconstruction #residentialdesign #nycapartment #chelsea #loftapartment

This Brooklyn townhome renovation and addition project has a dreamy backyard garden, a true escape from the city. https://buff.ly/2Le7788 We designed a full renovation of the home - preserving many of the historic details while updating spaces for modern lifestyles - and a rear addition for a new large kitchen overlooking the garden. Below on the garden level the addition houses a music / play room.

Recent site visit to our MODERN MODULAR cabin in the Catkills. https://buff.ly/46KN1ct The carport, entry porch, and screened porch were all framed, and exterior finishes were starting to be installed - black composite trim boards and cedar siding. Corrugated metal siding will follow. The finished basement is all framed. Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins are nearly complete. The two basement bedrooms will feature large windows to the woods.

The footprint of this MODERN MODULAR prefab in the Amagansett dunes was largely driven by unique site constraints. https://buff.ly/4fZK8ZL With Montauk Highway visible to the North and neighbors to the East and West, visual screening was important to focus the view south to the natural reserved area. One of the owners recently retired from the NYC parks department after decades as a landscape architect there. He managed to salvage nearly 30 acoustical panels from an outdoor amphitheater that was getting demolished years ago. He didn’t have a use for them at the time, but their geometry was interesting, special enough to save them from the landfill. Here the triangulated panels were painted and turned into fence panels for screening throughout the project that add interest to the landscape, and feel in keeping with the owners mid-century modern vintage style throughout the home.

At the Surfside Residence Renovation, an outdoor stair slips behind the outdoor kitchen up to a new roof deck.The existing roof was not designed to handle live loads, so a new steel structure was designed to float over the top of the existing roof. Structural steel for this addition was meticulously detailed. The result - slender steel tubes wrapped in ipe decking - gives the sense that the stair and deck are impossibly thin, almost floating. From atop, lounge seating offers a place to bask in the ocean breezes and take in the panoramic views. More here: https://buff.ly/3WUUKjP Contractor: Taconic Builders, Inc.

Completed 10 years ago, the Design Studio for @Express clothing stores occupies 60,000 square feet in New York City’s Flatiron District. https://buff.ly/3XeWUem The program called for large reception and display spaces, conference rooms, and workspaces spread over three floors of an existing building. A central stair acts as a vertical skewer through the three levels, both connecting and separating the studios on the third and fifth floors and the presentation spaces on the fourth floor. The simplicity of the Studio’s large loft-like spaces allow the colorful fabrics and rich textures of the clothing, like artwork, to be the focus. However, unlike the white box gallery, the architecture had to withstand the rough and ready nature of the studio atmosphere. A palette of hard, durable materials – including a couple of our favorites, black steel and Baltic birch – contrast with the softness of the fabric that fills the spaces. Much like a ready-to-wear clothing line, the “off-the-shelf” materials of the studio are modest, but they are precisely tailored to the functional demands of each space. #nyc #express #expressclothing #studio #designstudio #office #officespace #modernrenovation #renovation #commercialspace #modernarchitecture #moderndesign #modernfashion #fashion #streetwear #fashionstudio #clothing #style #stairdesign #modernstair #customdesign #architect
