It was a project of unifying competing interests - not only in the existing architecture, but also the needs of the reimagined home. The conflict of private vs. public areas. Of crowd-accommodating vs. intimate spaces. Of structure vs. softness. Of refined vs. relaxed.
A collaborative team was assembled to orchestrate this endeavor. Oza Sabbeth Architects, known for their ‘radical reimaginations’ of existing homes, driven in part by a sustainability approach, as well as the challenge of designing a new space within an existing shell. Modern Green Home, Oza's building arm that would ensure tight coordination between the design and build. And, Henrybuilt, who had designed the client's New York City kitchen.
“We love how our kitchen in the city works and feels,” says the client. “We wanted to bring that same quality and feeling to this home.”
