Small
urban infill projects bring diversity, contrast, and scale to our city
environments. As micro developers, designers
and builders, the challenge begins with the small lot, busy streets, zero
setbacks from property
lines and a lack of space for construction storage and scaffolding. By
combining these
challenges, the development and construction are integrated into the
architecture.
The
twenty five foot wide lot produces four single-family residences with the inherent
urban quality
of narrow, linear space. For architects, the main goal is to maintain an
interior-exterior connection
while creating a spacious and quiet living environment in the city. This is
achieved by constructing
continuous spaces from property line to property line. Spatially, the
residences offer a quiet
respite within the city core.
This
project utilizes a variety of design strategies to elevate it above the more
mundane infill developments typical of
speculative housing. Significant attention has been focused on the exterior skin of
the project, its scale and materiality in relation to the surrounding historic
fabric.
Within
the existing urban context of brick and wood, the proposed project’s interior
wood frame structure
receives exterior skins of brick, cedar wood and glass. Materially, the brick,
wood and glass
accentuate the diverse urban fabric of Jersey
City. Also aligned with the intentions of the historic
fabric are the building scale and articulation of details; the façade ratios are
reflective of those of
its neighbors, window proportions are oriented as their historic precedents on
the block and
details showcase craftsmanship.
The
proposed project also aims to align itself with a sensitive approach to the
environment, building
a “green edifice” in a variety of ways. There are several approaches in line
with these goals
such as an accessible planted roof, efficient building systems and fixtures,
specifying environmentally responsible
materials, and cutting back the building’s footprint on the lot so as to reduce
storm water runoff.
The 93-Bright Street
project seeks to raise the level of building quality and potentially to become a
benchmark for other developments in the surrounding area. Its commitment to
high-quality design,
spatial innovation, and material refinement will provide Jersey City with a successful example
of how increased housing density can be achieved while at the same time,
improving the
quality of the surrounding city fabric. We are proposing a building at 93 Bright street
that will harmoniously
co-exist with its neighbors within a historic context, while bringing an
elevated level of
building performance to the community.
