On the Boards || Hill Top


A few concept images of one of our latest residential projects on the boards we’re calling Hill Top. Located in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, Hill Top is a proposed 2 ½ story private residence sited on a steep sloping, picturesque lot with 270 degree unobstructed views of the Sandy Hook Bay and distant NYC skyline. The design for the home carefully navigates a variety of stringent local ordinances related to the steep sloping topography across the site. As such the house is designed within the footprint of the previous home, a single-story 1950’s Sears kit house, while strategically repurposing the existing CMU block foundations and portions of the existing exterior brick facade.

Press || AIA Honor Award


We’re thankful to have received an Honor Award for our Brigantine Marina and Paddle Club project at this weekend’s @aianewjersey Awards Gala. We worked together with some great (and talented) people to bring this project to fruition. Thank you to our client and all those involved, to AIA-NJ for hosting the event, and to the judges for the kind words and recognition of our work.

Great to spend a night connecting with colleagues, old and new, from around our state!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jury comments:

“A simple idea -- well conceived and executed. Creates a memorable space and structure. The beach fence that extrudes to form a building is compelling. An oasis in the middle of a parking lot -- great site response. Making something special that isn’t special. Simplicity and consistency of design is impressive.”

On the Boards || Old & New


One of our latest a projects on the boards — a modern addition to a renovated 1910, single-story, 1,000 SF log cabin. The original cabin is sited on a picturesque, rural, relatively steep sloping, 1 ½ acre lot. The clients brief called for a two-story addition that would connect to the cabin and accommodate a new foyer and entry sequence, an open dining and kitchen area large enough to entertain comfortably, a small seating lounge, and a new primary suite for two. A location for a new outdoor hot tub was also a principal element to be considered. The kitchen area of the original cabin would be reconfigured to house a new powder room, laundry room and bar/potting area.   

Our initial take on the design of the addition was that a “modern interpretation” of the existing cabin would risk feeling contrived. Rather, the rustic charm and simplicity of the orignal log cabin should stand alone, as it does. The form of the new addition would be a clear and distinct divorce from the architecture of the cabin, but relate with a careful sensitivity to both materiality, and the overall siting and planning strategy of the new build and landscaping. Natural stone is purposed to mirror the exposed stone foundations of the original cabin while Shou Sugi Ban Cypress horizontal shiplap siding relates to the existing log exterior.

Harbor Pavilion is a small, detached building tucked away on an oversized lot bordering the intracoastal marshlands of New Jersey’s Barnegat Bay. 

The project challenges the notion of a “Garage” — instead considering the building as a garden pavilion, event space and warm, engaging backdrop for the client’s photography studio.

We’re excited to share some images of one of our latest projects on the boards! Marin Hill is a 12 unit multi-family housing development located in New Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan.  

The project pays homage to the town’s rich history of brick manufacturing dating back to the 18th century. It is sited on top of a hill, at one of the highest elevations in town, and captures sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. The 2-story building is elevated to enhance views, floating lightly above open-air tenant parking below.
