Converting this 19th Century barn to an free-standing extension of our client's home meant stabilizing and reinforcing the building's historic (and rustic) timber structure, weatherizing the house, and then juxtaposing new modern finishes with the existing posts & beams, creating compatibility through contrast. #restoration #renovation #addition #architecture and #interiors

This Manhattan apartment is designed to maximize transparency and bring light from its west-facing perimeter into the reconfigured living spaces. Each room along the western edge of the apartment is visually unified with glass panels terminating the perpendicular walls, and the apartment's connection to the expansive views of Riverside Park and the Hudson River is accentuated.   Learn more about this project here https://lnkd.in/ecfnA8Nz

Summer is truly in full swing with July upon us. We're modifying our hours until Labor Day so that there's a little more time for our team to enjoy their summer weekends. Here's our schedule for the next couple of months - HAPPY SUMMER 2024 ! #summer2024

What's more revitalizing than fresh air, natural sunlight and views of nature, especially when combined with the cleansing activities of your bath, sink and shower. Here's four recent projects that combine the best of both. #biophilicdesign #residentialdesign #architecture #nature #bath

SPG explores thoughtful sustainable practices for use in each of our clients' projects, with an understanding of how to seamlessly integrate technologies and ecologically sound solutions into our architecture. Clockwise from the top left: Our house in the San Juan Islands, Washington State includes both passive solar and solar panels solutions. Our off-the-grid house in Costa Rica includes a full room dedicated to battery storage of renewable energy. The Asheville, NC residence includes a green roof over the separately zoned guest quarters.

Our projects usually emphasize the expansive nature of creating a close connection between interior and exterior spaces, and on a practical level, this means expansive areas of glass with movable partitions, creating outdoor spaces that function as true living areas, and creating large openings that literally allow movement from indoors to out.

The diverse locations of SPG's projects require that we constantly maintain and update our knowledge about sustainability issues, as local climatic conditions including solar and natural breeze orientations, water availability, and local building traditions all impact both the form and the character of these houses. Here are four of our projects, located in the Costa Rican tropical forest, on a Puget Sound island, in the foothills of North Carolina's Blue Ridge, and in Sun Valley, Idaho.

Wishing all of our friends, followers, clients, colleagues and collaborators a Happy and Peaceful 2024 ! This gingerbread construction was designed and installed in collaboration with and support of the London Museum of Architecture and their NYC Gingerbread City project . True to our aesthetic, the winter wonderland is expressed as a modern and fully edible winter wonderland, with a message of sustainability in a changing world. Happy New Year !
