Soho Loft East River Shore Line Pool Piano and Guest house TKTS Booth, Times Square

Piano and Guest house

Adjacent to an existing property, the lot on which this house sits edges a lush wetlands, meaning that much of the site will have to be revegetated in order to build. The house rides this rip, between cultivated landscape and marsh. Its vertically structured entry facade is a thinly dimensioned wood infill structure, finished to look like furniture but deceptively monumental at a distance. The post and beam structure which houses the primary living areas is robust; its horizontal cladding and windows relate directly to the wetlands horizon line. Two stairs - one to the piano studio and the other to the main living space - structure the entry facade. The grass roof replaces the now-overgrown lawn.
