Architects Challenge Best Remodel/Addition Winner 2015

It takes confidence to design something that’s equal parts whimsy and rugged like the Adirondack Camp. This remodeled cabin draws inspiration from the old fire towers perched on Adirondack mountain tops and features vibrant windows, bringing out a playful personality.

Architects: Jacob Albert and J.B. Clancy; Architecture Firm: Albert, Righter, & Tittman Architects, Inc. with Sally Berk Assoc. AIA

In keeping with the island’s rugged character, the new home was pared down to the essentials. Even the floor in the living room, elevated during the construction process to give seated guests sight lines of the coast, helped frame the outdoors. With this philosophy in mind, Vieira da Silva sourced and designed simple, light furniture, such as the custom bookshelves made from “criptoméria," a type of Japanese wood planted in the Azores for construction. The floor lamp, a Sampei model by Davide Groppi, is set above a Lamino Easy Chair by Swedese. Both the sofa and table are also Swedese.

A bold, bohemian chic living room includes another home office that was built into a former closet space. Cole & Son Savuti wallpaper and Studio Four NYC x Wayne Pate Exotic Fruit wallpaper bring color and texture to the formerly stark white condo. Warmth was added throughout the space with Moroccan rugs, silk and Turkish pillows, woven baskets, and pops of satin brass in hardware and accent furniture.

The eponymous founder and principal of Michael K. Chen Architecture resuscitated a four-story, 3,600-square-foot home in Brooklyn’s Clinton Hill neighborhood that was built in 1895 and had been abandoned for 20 years. Its newest owners—a tech investor and an art teacher at a public school—were inspired by the playful color palette that was still apparent underneath the building’s decay. "We had epic color palette meetings, looking at deck after deck for paint colors that spoke to us or provoked a particular sensation,” says Chen. “You don’t look at the color, you inhabit it.”

Visiting a Manhattan apartment designed by Tim Seggerman is like sitting inside one of Nakashima’s cabinets, a metaphor realized most fully in an ingenious "library"—really a glorified cubby with a banded maple ceiling, conjured from a free space adjacent to the loft bed.

Relocating the kitchen door and changing the windows to high, small units created much more space for storage.
