Greenport Public Restroom in New York by Studio a/b Architects

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

Article source: Studio a/b Architects

Public restroom in an existing park (Mitchell Park) for a coastal village on the North Fork, Long Island. Since Mitchell Park was built through a design competition, the restroom was required to match the existing park design. Using the same material palette as the existing park buildings (zinc roof and cedar wall), this restroom was sited with free angles, respecting the existing views and park layout.

Diagonal Passage in Greenport, New York by Studio a/b Architects

Tuesday, February 28th, 2012

Article source: Studio a/b Architects

Awarded AIA Peconic Jurors Award for Architecture 2009
Platinum rating in the LEED for Homes program 2011

Responding to a long skinny lot (50 ft wide x 166 ft deep) in a village, this project explores the openness between inside/outside spaces using a linear format. A diagonal wall running from the southwest to the northeast divides the site into “dwelling” and “garden” zones. The interior space uses the widest possible width at the western end. The larger, backyard garden is on the eastern end.
