This has been an unprecedented year in many ways.

COVID-19 and the economic downturn that followed in the spring has resulted in many architecture firms finding themselves in a struggle to survive. Despite these difficult times, AIA Long Island Chapter members have shown themselves to be resilient and committed to delivering quality designs to their clients and their communities. The outstanding projects submitted to the award program this year are the best evidence of their efforts. Kudos to all the firms who have participated.

I have worked on various publications for other organizations; however, this is my first time collaborating with AIA Long Island. Having the opportunity to review the projects firsthand has been an eye-opening experience. The winning achievements exhibit a deep level of site, cultural, social, economic, and environmental considerations, often exceeding the expectations of clients. They are also stunningly beautiful.

I am honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with Graciela Carrillo, AIA (2020-2021 President) on the first ever online magazine showcasing the Archi Award program this year. Our goal is to create a publication that will broaden the magazine’s audience and reach architects and clients regionally as well as nationally. The hope is that this publication will inspire other AIA chapters

During these sessions different strategies were discussed to help prevent the spread of the virus. These lectures provided an opportunity to explore emerging trends in school resilient design.

The Archi Statuette

The

Archi” was designed specifically for the 1970 Annual Long Island Association Architectural Awards Program. The name was taken from the Greek word Architekton, which means “Chief or Master Builder”.

The award is 13” tall, and incorporates a T-square, an arch and a three-sided face representing the past, present, and future.

HISTORY AND PURPOSE OF THE ARCHI AWARDS Every year since 1964, the Long Island Chapter of the American Institute of Architects has celebrated outstanding architectural achievement through the annual Archi Awards Program. The purpose of the Archi Awards Program is to provide professional and public recognition of architectural projects of design excellence. The awards recognize projects conceived and built on Long Island as well as projects designed by Long Island architects, built or planned to be built elsewhere.

Since its creation by the Long Island Association of Commerce and Industry, followed by the involvement of the AIA Long Island Chapter, the Archi Awards Program has gained prominence as the Long Island community has begun to recognize and understand the impact of quality architecture on the built environment. To date, over 800 projects have received awards and recognition for design excellence. Each entry is judged on the success of the design solution presented and not in competition with other entries. Today, the Archi Awards Program is a major event in the Long Island design community which raises awareness of the importance of quality architectural design to Long Island as a whole.

BHC is led by partners Todd Harvey and Salvatore Coco with headquarters is in Melville, NY. With a 140 year old portfolio BHC’s designs cover every building type including schools, offices, churches, prisons, hospitals, restaurants, retail and residential; but over the past twenty years there have been three distinct areas of their practice that have had significant impacts on the built environment, local communities and in one example an entire City.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES: Since 1997 when BHC designed their first library project, the Shoreham Wading River Pubic Library, they have became known as one of the nation’s leading architectural firms in library design and have been involved in the planning and design of over 230 libraries.

On Long Island alone BHC has worked on over 120 libraries stretching from 52 branch libraries for the Brooklyn Public Library in the west to the Southampton Rogers Memorial Library and the Mattituck Library in the east. There is a BHC library represented on every exit of the Long Island Expressway and their designs have impacted dozens of communities. BHC’s library designs have won multiple Archi awards and have been featured in “Library Journal” and “American Libraries” magazines.

BALTIMORE’S INNER HARBOR: From 1995 up until today BHC s been the architects for a new urban community on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor called Harbor East.

What was once an industrial wasteland consisting of factories and parking lots Harbor East is now Baltimore’s premier neighborhood and has transformed and extended the Inner Harbor’s promenade connecting downtown to historic Fells Point. Covering 12 acres and totaling over 5.8 million SF Harbor East is a true mixed-use development that includes five hotels, six residential buildings, four commercial office buildings, theaters, restaurants and retail at street level. BHC not only served as architects for all of the buildings but also assisted in developing the master plan and building design standards. The last building in the community, the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, is completing construction this month.

In 2008 BHC began work on Harbor Point, just to the east of Harbor East. Harbor Point is one of the nations largest brownfields developments and was originally an Allied Signal Chromium plant.

In 2005 the site was capped and is in the middle of being transformed into a 16 acre / 9 million SF mixed-use development similar to HE but with a focus on public park space (3 acres worth). BHC has

26 - 56th Annual Archi Awards 2020

Facing the new challenges of this century (climate change, population growth, economic pressures) creating developments and neighborhoods where residents can live near transportation, shopping, dining has been a rewarding challenge.

Community Service Award Joseph Mottola, AIA Joseph

Mottola, AIA, is the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at H2M architects + engineers, a company that truly prides itself on their philanthropic efforts. Joe has over 35 years of experience in the field of architecture, design, and construction in the New York metropolitan area. Being an active member of the volunteer fire service for more than 35 years, Joe has demonstrated a long commitment and passion to serving and protecting the public.

Joe has been an integral part of the inception of the Architecture division at H2M. After studying architecture at the New York Institute of Technology, he was the second architect hired at the firm in 1987. As the group grew, Joe took on a leadership role in running the architectural operations. In the early 1990s, Joe, a longtime volunteer firefighter, approached H2M with the idea of branching out into firematic design market. To date H2M has designed and assessed over 350 fire stations. In 2007, Joe became the Division Director of Architecture where he navigated the group through some of the best and worst business climates. From the great recession in 2009 to the great growth period in 2013, Joe led the division in continuous growth, increasing the employee head count by over 160%. Now as COO, Joe is strengthening the business core values for the entire firm and helping to maintain our presence in the community.

Joe is a valued and dedicated H2M employee and represents so many of the core values that H2M embodies — from community and respect to teamwork and integrity. Being a volunteer Firefighter for Massapequa Fire Department, he is actively involved in the Firefighters Charitable Foundation, where he received the 2018 Humanitarian Award; and is a member on the Board of Nassau County Firefighters Association.

Joe is also the driving force for H2M’s Annual Turkey Drive benefiting Island Harvest with its Thanksgiving Food Drive. In 2019, over 250 turkeys were collected by H2M employees for Long Island families in need.

Among the things that Joe wants to be remembered for, both at H2M and in life, is making a difference. Whether that is on a professional or personal level, Joe wants to know he made life a little easier for someone in some way. While that might seem like a big feat, upon being in the company of Joe Mottola, it is evident that he is far closer to that goal than he thinks. His genuine commitment to the firm, the wellbeing of the employees, and the community exemplify all the things a company could only hope for in an employee and leader.

A community-oriented individual, Joe enjoys the unique focus of H2M’s work: “Everything we do is for the betterment of the community,” he says. “We design firehouses, post offices, schools, even the fields our kids play on.” A lifelong Long Islander, Joe lives in Massapequa with his wife, Susan, and is the proud father of four children: Jessica, Michael, Kerri, and Joseph.

Residential Single Family (Under $1 million) C+S House, East Hampton, NY

Brian Masuda Architect and AE Superlab

The

project is a redesign and revitalization of an existing 1970’s era house designed by local Architect Myron Shulman in East Hampton, New York. Crisp lines, minimalist details, and a purposefully restrained palette of materials, breathe new life into the existing house, while building on the idiosyncratic character of the original design and further accentuating access to daylight and views prevalent in all of Shulman’s houses.

Modifications to the exterior include the expansion and reshaping of the main living room double-height window wall and master bedroom window to compliment the sloping roof line as well as extending the dining room glazing to encompass the corner condition. The existing tan-colored, vertically oriented plywood siding was removed and replaced with deep charcoal grey fiber cement panels with similar dimensions. The darker tone further compliments the natural landscape surrounding the house while providing contrast to the exterior wood decking and bright interior spaces.

30 - 56th Annual Archi Awards 2020

The interior is a study in openness and clean lines, with a number of details and highlights that impart a unique character and personality to the space without detracting from the main experience created by the high sloping ceiling and dramatically framed views out to the landscape. By opening up and re-framing the north living room aperture, the line separating interior and exterior becomes increasingly insubstantial both visually and materially and during the day and evening.

The theme of simplicity and lightness compliments the clients’ personal aesthetic and their intimate connection to art by providing the perfect canvas for the seamless integration of two site specific pieces. The artwork by Mary Temple and Naomi Kawanishi Reis, inspired by visits to the house, enrich the interior by capturing the celebrated relationship between the house and its surroundings.

Residential Single Family (From $1 - $3 million) Montauk Cliff, Montauk, NY Martin Architects

Within

a glacial kettle hole in Montauk hills is a site with distant ocean views within a mature oak forest. Targeted to design within the cliff, a value minded modern structure that sat in harmony in nature with a net zero impact.

Dynamic sun angles allow for natural light to grace space and permeate the house with its passive solar design. The upper level was creatively designed for an open family minded floor plan with exposed structure and large skylights punctuating the space.

Built embedded into the cliff with concrete and natural boulders to create plateau’s allowing for indoor and outdoor spaces to embrace each other in a natural rhythm of both public and private living.

Long deeply set arcing concrete walls with glacial erratic boulders allow for retainage, scraping their forms in the earth in lines across the site. The bermed earth shelter concepts, SIPS wall panels, active and passive solar design achieve a zero-carbon footprint.

With the lower structure largely underground, the masterplan allows for another floor from which to achieve Ocean views as the family grows. The exterior palate includes burned and stained siding, dark metal, glass, exposed concrete and fine stucco that layer the house composition and form.

Exiting the private lower level, one views the fern forest and above a raised beam sculptural pool that carves its exposed line literally out of the earth as it holds the embankment above.

The created plateau is for outdoor life with a kitchen, covered patio, pool house and pool all held by other concrete and boulder walls allowing the driveway to be hidden beyond. The design resulted in a value minded, net zero house embedded gracefully into the earth that created an unconventional layout for a dynamic earth centered structure fit in scale and palate with its environment.

Residential Single Family (Over $3 million) Sands Point Residence, Sands Point, NY HMA2 Architects

On

a dramatic bluff overlooking Long Island Sound, an 8,000 square foot modern residence welcomes family and friends to enjoy good views, good food, and good company. Conceived as a family “resort� for every day and all-season living, the design mixes an open flow of flexible gathering spaces with private retreats. The social spaces are grand and the private spaces are intimate, all contained within a large yet cozy structure that spills to the outdoors.

The house is like an open shell nestled on a carved hill. A wrapping metal roof and wall surrounds and protects a permeable glass and wood skin that invites arrival and frames the open landscape and water views. The house energetically reaches beyond its shell to connect indoor and outdoor experiences. For example, brick, stone and cedar wall surfaces run freely between inside and outside. A cantilevered upper balcony from the master bedroom thrusts through the shell towards the water. The sculpted lower

42 - 56th Annual Archi Awards 2020

landscape connects to a poolside grotto. An outdoor kitchen has a skylight porch roof. The site is comfortably breezy on warm days, but during harsh seasonal storms is buffered by a protective skin enclosure and landscape selections.

The generously open and flexible spaces are densely composed to promote a feeling of welcoming comfort and energy. A center hall steel frame stair is a walkable viewing platform by day and chandelier at night.

A house becomes a home when it contains and connects, delineating boundaries through a play of scale while connecting flowing interior spaces with open-ended corners. Indoor and outdoor areas feel contained and cozy, connected and expansive. Weaving geometric ribbons of humble materials and a central hearth actively stitch family and friends to the natural setting and to each other, activating spaces for entertaining and respite, community and privacy.

Residential Single Family (Over $3 million) Residence On The Hill, Great Neck, NY Narofsky Architecture

The site for this waterfront residence is located on the Great

Neck Peninsula, facing west to views of NYC and the borough bridges. When purchased, there existed a 50-year-old house and pool structurally condemned which required immediate removal.

Once the site was cleared, a year was devoted to stabilizing the seawall and hill to accommodate the newly proposed home.

The lot size, shape and relationship to an easement access road, overlaid with strict zoning regulations was a key factor in the organization of the client’s program elements. The arc contour of the easement road and required setback informed the front facade shape, which was designed as a privacy screen, as adjacent homes are in close proximity. Due to strict height requirements the house from the street appears to be one story and then steps down the hill allowing for three fully occupiable floors. The local jurisdiction also granted special approval accepting the design of the garage, within the front set back, as its roof is level with the roadbed and

fully landscaped. A path accesses a hidden door to the bedroom level of the house. The garage is accessed through a semicircular driveway that leads to a depressed entry courtyard, offering privacy to the main entrance.

The configuration of the home is a U-shape surrounding a rear courtyard. This shape, along with suspended pods assures water views to all occupants while not compromising privacy from the adjacent homes.

The house is constructed on a steel frame, clad with fiber cement, resin panels and an aluminum curtain wall system. All roofs are accessible as either decks or landscaped garden areas.

The lower level accesses decks, an outdoor kitchen, and pool area which are perched on the edge of the upper retaining wall.

New Mercantile (Under $4 million) Starbucks Astor Place, New York, NY WFC Architects

13 Astor Place is a Romanesque Revival building built in 1859

on the site of the Astor Opera House. The building previously housed the New York Mercantile Library until 1932, the Alexander Hamilton Institute, and the Astor Place Hotel and was finally converted to condominiums in 2003. The building is an 11-story building with 50 condos on the upper floors with retail on the ground floor and is listed as a NYC Landmark. The building is situated on the outside corner of Astor and Lafayette and houses a glazed sidewalk cafe that was fully renovated and restored to become an exceptional location for NYC people watching.

The unique design of this store blends well with the history and culture of the area. There was fine attention to detail to bring out the character of the structure and was revived to expose the original brick, terracotta, stone and plaster finishes. The high ceilings were exposed and the existing plaster moldings

56 - 56th Annual Archi Awards 2020

were uncovered and repaired. The existing exterior brick walls were revealed, repaired and then painted by local artists. The 3 cast iron square columns within the center of the space were stripped down of their previous gyp bd finishes and clad in plaster over fireproof paint and the existing concrete floors were polished and inlayed with mosaic tile.

Many of the more modern elements incorporated into this store were inspired by the historic nature of the building including custom metal and bubbled glass partitions sitting atop partial height walls clad in Carrera marble. Our team along with Starbucks top designers created this historic store with the newest lighting technology to create a comfortable atmosphere with precision targeted spotlighting on each table and seating area. Most of the light sources are creatively hidden to create a comfortable glow throughout the store.

North Bellmore Library Expansion and Renovation, North Bellmore, NY Gallin Beeler Design Studio

The North Bellmore Public Library Board of Trustees was aware

that work on their 13,000 square foot Library structure was badly needed when they embarked on a modest interior renovation project. As their Architect, we suggested that in addition to commencing preliminary design work on the alterations, we be allowed to undertake a needs assessment and master plan study related to possible future work.

After a thorough study of the existing conditions and 2 days of staff interviews, it became quite clear that a project limited to just renovating the existing spaces would not solve any of their functional problems let alone provide for badly needed expansion of departments such as the Children’s Library and New Media / Periodicals.

The Board resolved that we should develop plans for the expansion of their Library and go to the public for a school district referendum vote in order to fund the larger project.

Over a period of 5 months, we ran numerous pubic input meetings that both increased the design’s responsiveness to the end user’s needs, and also built considerable community support for the project. The referendum passed by a 2/3 yes vote in May 2015.

In addition to the many functional improvements that the project’s design achieves, we also have addressed two major problems with the existing building - the first being lack of a coherent main entry.

With parking in a school lot to the side of the building, the main entry was currently not visible upon arrival and was only reached via an awkward and circuitous route from the parking lot. Our design reorganizes the parking lot to allow a vehicular drop-off and direct entry into the side of the library. A curved plaza leads to the main library entry overlooking the front lawn shared with the adjacent school.

The second problem we addressed is the disjointed existing architecture. The original 1961 structure and its 1986 addition have little in common and present a jumbled appearance. We have added an elegant glass wrapper around 3 sides of the building giving it a new and unified face. The glass opens up the “closed in” original architecture making the interior more connected to the surrounding community it serves.

Sustainable features include sunscreens at the high performance glazing, photovoltaic roof panels, building materials with recycled content and low emitting interior materials.

The Well houses a meditation dome, a full-fledged spa equipped with a gorgeous locker room and two steam and sauna rooms, a library that holds events, lectures, workshops, and weekly emotional support circles, a mindful movement studio that hosts up to 10

classes per day, a mini fitness center with a personal trainer, a reflexology lounge for foot and head massages that can be enjoyed while sipping a glass of wine (or water or tea), and private rooms for once-a-month health coach sessions.

The upstairs space is very open and social, but as you go downstairs it’s mostly area where you want to be inward-looking and private.

The serene splendor of the lower level attests to the power of this inspiration. Walls are white and curved, lined with parcels of lavender and studded with glittering pyrite stones; in the relaxation room, drawn from the idea of Superman’s crystal cave, light glows ethereally from selenite sconces.

Small Projects Any Category (Under $300,000) Addition to Historically Significant East Hampton Estate, East Hampton, NY SKOLNICK Architecture + Design Partnership

Built as a theater in 1917 and subsequently turned into

a weekend home, the current Owners have continued this grand building’s artistic heritage by hosting cultural events and performances. To meet its extensive preservation challenges, they toggle its use between performance space, weekend home, and summer rentals. The original theater-volume remains unheated, so the challenge was to extend year-round use by creating a new dining room/sitting area with modern HVAC to provide all-season comfort.

Our design strategy centered on creating a contrasting addition that would complement the original Elizabethan-style structure. To counterbalance the high-pitched, slate-roofed mass, we nestled a modern flat-roof, glass-box into the rear corner. Inspired by the leaded-glass bay and exposed timber ceiling of the original theater, we set up a rhythm of posts and panels to anchor what would mostly be windows and clad the exterior in copper. Since copper

had been used as gutters and accents on the original building’s exterior, this material link further imbued the addition with a sense of being “of-the-house”, yet simultaneously distinct.

When at the start, a large Elm tree on site required removal, we had it milled into paneling, columns, and beams for the interior.

We also reused the site’s original bluestone pavers to create a new open-air terrace, consciously selecting stones with a smooth finish for the interior’s radiant heated floor. The ceiling has a long central skylight framed by an Elm wood beam-grid and the interior detailing is tightly coordinated with the exterior copper-clad post and panel geometry.

The experience of being inside or outside this addition is uplifting and celebratory with a lightfilled interior sheathed in natural wood, and an exterior that sparks an inventive dialogue between old and new.

Bermed earth design, structural insulated panels, active and passive solar design and geothermal energy systems ensure an off-grid zero carbon footprint existence created within budget through factory minded production methods.

One-third of the house sits embedded within the grade shielded from the elements naturally by the earth itself. The exposed structure is built with modular steel and clad with burnt and stained weathered wood and stucco to withstand harsh weather conditions and emulate the tones of the neighborhood. Each cantilevered stacked rectangle provides shelter for the space below. The site’s restrictive setbacks are in every direction, leaving the concept of digging down below as the best way to create additional square

The geometry is a simple small-scale series of stacked boxes that form a dynamic double cantilever facing the ocean in a timeless form with sand-dusted monochromatic materials that keeps the structure unobtrusively juxtaposed with its neighbors. Modest in its scale, materiality and composition, nestled into its earth withholding its size, Surfside is able to blend a strong, modern impact within the fabric of the vernacular in its neighborhood in an environmentally sound way.

Non-ResidentialInteriorsofAnyKind(IncludingRenovations) Asset, New York, NY Bates Masi + Architects

The architectural character of Manhattan is a palimpsest.

As buildings are renovated and added to over centuries traces of each iteration remain, expressing themselves as an oddly placed column or a texture that bleeds through successive layers of paint. In the renovation of 329 Columbus Avenue to create Asset restaurant, we sought to excavate the existing space in search of unique textures and hints of the past that would enrich the guest experience.

In the process of 3D scanning the building, vaults of expanded metal lath were discovered above the fire rated ceiling. The vaults were reintroduced as an exposed element serving multiple functions. Formally, their rhythm breaks down the expansive space to a more intimate scale. Structurally, they conceal steel girders, below which are hung the stair, bar shelves, and light fixtures, allowing those elements to be much more delicate than if they were self-supporting. Depending on the size of the openings in the expanded metal and how it is lit, the material can be manipulated to adjust its transparency. Thus it can be used as a delicate stair guardrail; or expanded to serve as a ventilation grille; or paired with insulation to become an acoustic absorber; or layered to conceal mechanical equipment; or stretched to hold wine bottles. The diamond pattern of the expanded metal becomes a motif unifying the details, from the pattern of the stone floor to the bathroom mirrors and umbrella stand.

The process of excavation was also applied to the oak panelling on the walls. The boards were sandblasted to erode the soft earlywood that lies between the harder latewood grain, thereby enhancing its character and increasing its sound absorption. Areas of the panelling were masked off from the sandblasting, creating a sharp line of contrast between the eroded portions and smooth portions.

The mezzanine, itself a remnant from a past iteration of the space, provides a unique dining experience overlooking the bar below and the street beyond through the 2 story glass curtain wall facade. A grand stair connecting the levels is divided in 2 parts, 1 side for service and the other for guests. The 2 sides merge in a gentle curve reminiscent of the ceiling vaults. Under the mezzanine the more intimate space can be divided into private dining rooms by expanded metal screens. Light grazes across the screens in this application to reduce their transparency.

With the thoughtful manipulation of a limited palette of materials, each of which reflecting a bit of the history of the space, the former retail store is transformed to create a variety of dining experiences: lively parties at the bar, special family occasions in a private dining room, and intimate banquette seating. Each space is tailored for a special experience but is cohesive in its material and details.
