“ Successful consolidation and an inviting Gateway to the City.“

20 20 Henry Hudson anchored at Peekskill in 1608, the Continental Army established its Headquarters there in 1776 and President Lincoln’s inaugural train and funeral train stopped there during his presidency. The Peekskill Volunteer Fire Department, founded in 1813, originally consisted of six companies occupying five different stations, all with glaring operational and firefighter health and safety issues. The new consolidated headquarters forms a timeless street scape for the centrally located building that serves as a new Gateway to the City.

20 20 On approach and without altering the character of the beloved community, the camp appears as a charming, single-story cottage in tune with its surroundings. Its staggered façade provides strategic shrouding, allowing light to enter while hiding the neighboring cottages and directing views toward the lake beyond.

The exterior features sustainably preserved cedar siding, motor-operable windows enabling passive cooling, and traditional rain chains to direct runoff into rain gardens that buffer the lake edge.

“Love the modern feel of the interior and the well organized plan.”

20 20 Embracing the owner’s vision to respect the traditional fabric of the existing downtown Saratoga Springs, NY neighborhood while incorporating a contemporary aesthetic, the “gable and bar” massing bridges the gap between the traditional architecture of the neighboring structures and the new home’s modern aesthetic.

Large windows and doors on the first floor bring in natural light and two wood and steel stairs on the second floor lead to finished space under the main gable with exposed rafters and skylights.

“Unique building form that relates to the product it was designed for.�

20 20 Flyleaf is a space for readers of all types to pause and celebrate not only the intangible enrichment of reading but the tactile experience of physical, paper books.

The form abstracts a paper book placed on its spine and falling open. Like the act of reading a paper book itself, Flyleaf physically engages its occupants. An operable pulley system allows users to open and close the nested frames with a hand crank. In its closed position, Flyleaf provides sheltered and accessible book storage and seating through winter and inclement weather.
