The Dwight Way: Berkeley California

Stats:

Project Name: The Dwight Way

Architect: Leger and Wanaselja

Location: Berkeley, California

"The Dwight Way is a remodel and the addition of a new building on the same site to create a 9-unit, mixed-use, urban infill project in the heart of Berkeley. Built originally as a corner grocery store with apartments above and a large side yard, the location had become one of the noisiest and busiest in the city. By restoring the existing building and adding a new one in an environmentally sensitive way, the project transforms this site into a green showcase."

A House Grows in Brooklyn

STATS:
a 4,200 sq ft new construction between two existing townhomes
Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY
4 story townhouse on a 20'x80' lot
Architect: Christoff:Finio Architecture
The exterior walls of the adjoining buildings were creatively preserved by hanging floors between them. The ground floor and basement are dedicated to a jewelry workshop and a recording studio, and the living quarters begin on the second floor with a dining area, kitchen, and high-ceiling living room. The third floor is a loftlike reading room that overlooks the living and dining areas, and the fourth floor has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room.
Fabulous.
