$100K Ski House

$100K Ski House
Ludlow, VT
Anthony Caradonna, Critic

This  project began with the challenge of building a house for less than $100 per square foot, as issued in Karrie Jacobs book, “The Perfect $100,000 House’’.  Working with a development company, the project is a 1700 square foot weekend ski house in Ludlow, Vermont.  The final price for the project is $61 per square foot.

The house is constructed out of structurally insulated panels, a prefabricated building system that cuts down on the time, labor and cost of construction.  This project has also utilized materials that would often be considered surplus materials on other jobs, such as re-purposing the wood from donated pallets into an innovative new wall and storage system.

Children’s Library

Children’s Library
The Bowery, New York City
Dragana Zoric, Critic
Located in the Bowery neighborhood of Manhattan,  this library fits into a unique set of constraints.  The site, located on Lafayette between Bond and Great Jones, significantly narrows at one end, and the local zoning laws prevent excessive height.
The historically gritty neighborhood is in the process of gentrification, which presented another challenge; how do you create a new building without over powering the existing culture of the neighborhood?  Based on research and analysis of the site and surrounding neighborhood,  the program of “library” was edited and tailored to fill the needs of a newly expanding demographic of residents of the area, a space for children and families.
The studio began with an extensive research on fabric craft and couture fashion design,  which evolved into the design of the module.
