In Up-and-Coming East Williamsburg there is a wave of new Architecture being introduced into a neighborhood that was once void of diverse architecture. This building echoes the notion of connection and disconnection of a site, while adding to the list of new buildings that are changing the landscape of a new Brooklyn. The glass and spandrel glass weave an interlocking, complex grid onto the facade, while the warm, rich texture of the Spanish wood panels grounds the building to the site.

Completion Date: June 2006

Location: Prospect Heights, Brooklyn

The "Jewel" of these two seemingly ordinary buildings is the two duplex units in the center that provide a focal point for the interlocking of two squares. The facade is further articulated through the "tearing apart" of the closing points for the squares, in a way that plays with the eye, and provides a small balcony at the same time.

124 West 10th

Project Manager/Designer: Robert M. Scarano jr.

Completion Date: January 2005

Location: Greenwich Village

The deluxe gut renovation of West 10th Street, a federal style townhouse, constituted the redistribution of spaces by dividing the building's interior into four spacious condominium units containing two duplexes, a single-floor unit and a penthouse. Three of the four units have spacious outdoor terraces, including the penthouse with its 900 square foot roof terrace. All four units feature two bedrooms, two wood burning fireplaces, and multiple skylights. Exposed brick walls, wood flooring and stone mantles convey an undeniable sense of home throughout each apartment, and the kitchen, which opens out to the main space, compliments it and yet stands its own. Special consideration was given to the interior design of kitchens and bathrooms. Integrating the functionality of a modern cook's kitchen within the confines of the urban apartment setting was a challenge. Each cabinet was planned to provide not only a variety storage options but also efficiency and maximum comfort, from spice racks on each side of the stove, a full height sliding pantry, to how a cabinet door will open. Stainless steel appliances and hardware are a perfect complement to the richness of the cabinetry and the sleekness of the glass and marble. Dark Wenge finishes give the spaces an anchoring quality while white marble and frosted glass offer a soothing and relaxing effect. A truly functional and beautiful space for the family to gather and enjoy, the open kitchens are an example of the intricate detailing of the interiors, with their Italian custom-crafted cabinetry, Carrara marble countertops and professional-grade appliances, uniting in the perfect marriage of aesthetics and convenience in this little gem in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.

Finding the perfect mix of unit size and exterior style can make one project more successful over another. Constructed in an area of small multifamily mid-rise masonry buildings, this uniquely designed structure houses eight families in a condominium complex of three buildings. With two apartments on each of four floors, each unit has front and rear exposures. The concept for the plan layout was achieved by interlocking and reversing a mirrored geometry, which helped maximize the square footage per room in each apartment. This concept also fostered the undulating masonry facade pattern that is key to the clean look of the building. By expanding the height to the maximum limits permitted by the New York zoning resolution, this small building makes a big statement.

Boerum place

Project Manager/Designer: Robert M. Scarano jr.

Completion Date: January 2002

Location: Boerum Hill

Visit:

Boerum Gardens is a new three-story and cellar light-gauge steel frame building, which includes 29 condominium apartments, private parking and public areas, all contained in 27,600 square feet. The development is located in the up and coming Boerum Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn. The site was a long vacant lot in a prominent corner location. This fact presented an opportunity to create a low-rise contextual building grouping, which attracted families and revived this previously blighted land. The combination of masonry, stucco and stone in concert distinguishes the site as an anchor building, which works with and enhances the adjacent existing neighborhood structures. Its modest scale and bulk utilize all floor area, as a benefit of the New York City quality housing program.

South Second Street

Completion Date: December 2008

Location: Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Situated in the heart of a growing district in Williamsburg, the materiality of the façade was an important factor in the driving force behind the project. The use of Zinc panels on the façade brings a cutting edge look to the evolution of the site and the neighborhood. Another unique aspect of this building is the effervescent pattern of the window openings that allow animated views of the exterior and the interior of the building. The combination of the materiality and the patterning of the façade in this building opens up the possibilities for an idea rich and innovative context to flourish in that particular area of Brooklyn.
