The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook, New York by Becker + BeckerThursday, May 4th, 2023Article source: Becker + Becker This project consists of an extensive renovation and addition to the internationally renowned environmental institute’s headquarters. The project re-envisions and updates the forward-thinking aspirations of the visionary 1978 design by Malcolm Wells, a founder of the green building movement. Over the 42 years since this innovative project was lauded widely in the architectural and general press as a trailblazing exemplar of sustainable design, its solar thermal roof and geothermal systems failed and were lost to renovations that subverted the original intention for the building to embody the Cary’s environmental values.

House, Some of This, Some of That in New York by Kwong Von GlinowSaturday, October 1st, 2022Article source: Kwong Von Glinow House, Some of This, Some of That serves as both the formal name for a retreat in a forested clearing as well as an architectural approach to space-making for a young family with two children. The starting point for the retreat begins with nine T-shaped volumes that house all the utility, storage, and wet spaces. Positioned on a grid, the nine T-shaped volumes rotate relative to each other to create uniquely shaped spaces for the family room, dining room, kitchen, office, library, reading room, and bedrooms, and give a sense of spatial differentiation for each within the open plan. At the same, the specific arrangement of the Ts allows for visual access across the house from one end to the other and out towards the surrounding forested view. This planar organization liberates the floorplan from a reliance on walls to define separate rooms and instead uses shapely elements that concentrate back of house spaces – the Ts – to internally organize a fully open space with soft divisions within.

25 Park Row in New York by COOKFOX ArchitectsFriday, August 26th, 2022Article source: COOKFOX Architects The land that is now City Hall Park has a long and rich history as a green space and public commons. Portions of the commons have been used as grounds for a 1691 almshouse, a cemetery, and the British military. During the Revolutionary War it also became a place of protest, with five “Liberty Poles” erected between 1770 and 1776. When the war was won it was chosen as the site for the new City Hall. For a brief period at the end of the 19th Century the southern portion was home to New York’s Central Post Office, but was returned to open, public space in 1910. As a result of the park’s enduring history as civic gathering space, the city has organized itself around it, creating a green urban room walled with a historical tapestry of architecture. 25 Park Row sits at the southeastern border of City Hall Park, across from the iconic 1913 Woolworth Building. COOKFOX’s vision for its design was to complete the urban room, taking inspiration from, and complementing the historical architecture around it, while crafting a building that stands on its own as an example of beautiful biophilic design.

Chelsea Parlor Apartment in New York by BoND (Bureau of Noam & Daniel)Monday, January 31st, 2022Article source: BoND (Bureau of Noam & Daniel) This 820 sq ft apartment takes up the entire Parlor level floor in a 1850s townhouse in West Chelsea. The 12’ ceilings in the public areas – the living room and kitchen – are remarkably higher than those in the bedroom and the bathrooms. To create a better sense of flow in the space, and to mitigate the height difference, we introduced two diagonal ceilings. An arched library built in the living room provides the space a sense of hierarchy, grandeur, and scale, together with a newly designed marble fireplace and crown moldings.
