The assignment

1. Create the antidote to fast-paced life in New York City.

2. Design a thoughtful gradient of privacy that allows a literary agent and a tattoo artist to live, work, and occasionally blend the two.

3. Make room for five-year-old twins to grow—without the home feeling too big once they’ve moved on.

4. Minimize impact.

The experience

The overall form draws inspiration from the site's agrarian past—reinterpreted with a contemporary twist. The west wing is for work, the east for rest—and family life fills the center.

Mornings and evenings light up spaces for slinging pancakes, tackling homework, telling stories, and curling up with a grandparent and a good book.

During school hours, the uses shift—quietly adapting to support focus and creativity.

While one parent buzzes between the greenhouse, garden, kitchen, and home office, the other can see clients in a sunlit studio, then commutes a few steps home under a covered breezeway.
