A good example is the fact that the boiler was sited in the middle of the kitchen, directly in front of a large window. The wall around this equipment enclosure meant only the boiler enjoyed a view! While we found rooms to be in the right places, room dimensions and circulation in general needed fixing. Another example. The laundry room was just narrow enough not to be able to fit a washer and dryer side-by-side. Accordingly, they took up most of the room and blocked access to a hot water heater. Easy fix! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1427136152821-6F7DWK4VB4M0GGIVRYAG/Cedar+Street+REDACTED_Page_5.jpg DRAWINGS - CEDAR STREET PLANS The result of our intervention would be a two-story space at the quiet rear of our client's property. No tub or shower could be permitted in this "artist's studio," one of the density loopholes in Long Island's East End. Instead an outdoor shower attached to the main house would serve the studio. A small sleeping loft sits at the font of the reconfigured volume. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1427133223698-GSQL8UDEQDY511BPHG75/Binder1-1_Page_2+REDACTED.jpg DRAWINGS - SUTTON PLACE DEMOLITION PLAN - BEFORE Our clients purchased their apartment in estate condition, which is to say the existing renovation was approximately forty years old. Each level in this apartment house features four units, although in the north wing of the building, the front and rear units are typically combined. Hence the elongated shape of the apartment. The rear unit was originally a live-alone staff quarters, accessible only by service elevator. The front, typically two-bedroom apartment has a private elevator landing. https://www.overarch.net/mbw-featured daily 0.75 2016-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1443823141869-QU3ROFO8K0S9A98K25N3/20151002+Ground+2+EMAIL.jpg FEATURED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1443823141869-QU3ROFO8K0S9A98K25N3/20151002+Ground+2+EMAIL.jpg FEATURED https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1467131819822-K7TKZ2P51KJJOHKO1TUD/Concept+Render+New.jpg FEATURED https://www.overarch.net/skyline-trail daily 0.75 2015-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1448925712669-10I6KH0PLF9DUCT7NWV9/image-asset.jpeg SKYLINE TRAIL - SKYLINE TRAIL SUBDIVISION Our first task for Skyline Trail is to subdivide an existing 130 acre parcel into two lots. This will allow conversion of the existing artist's studio to a habitable residence. The subdivision process will weigh donating part of the property to conservation, as well as entering the entire acreage into forestry stewardship. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/565cd90ae4b0134bf7c43193/565cda0ae4b04b21692ee83e/1448925706579/ SKYLINE TRAIL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1448925908750-P0N6UPL8B5EBQVDTEPBB/IMG_1072.JPG SKYLINE TRAIL - SKYLINE TRAIL STUDIO BUILDINGS The artist's studio and attached three car garage at Skyline Trail are new construction. They are rendered in the language of traditional barn timber framing, and therefore make for interesting conversion projects. Little will be done to affect the existing structure while providing for transparency and functional relationships required for new use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1448926140481-G9UBMDGI887VDIR6UA87/IMG_1095.JPG SKYLINE TRAIL - SKYLINE TRAIL STUDIO INTERIOR Under construction! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1448925522542-8B2LOBV8YVMSBXGD7IHC/IMG_1109.JPG SKYLINE TRAIL https://www.overarch.net/medical-office-building daily 0.75 2016-06-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54381515e4b02b18b2f01192/1467132094833-BN2PS1TE16ZX5ISXQ4GI/Concept+Render+New.jpg MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING - COURTYARD VIEW The new facility will be set back from the street to create a sense of privacy about the office.
