Bronx Box
Bronx, New York, NY, United States
Type
YEAR
2008
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
This
urban infill prefab is located at the foot of the Throgs Neck Bridge on
Eastchester Bay in the Bronx. The Bronx Box is a modified version of the
double-decker, 2-story bar typology with an additional storage ‘saddle bag’,
containing built in cabinets along the length of the house.
Given
the narrow lot, the design aims to celebrate the constraints of its zoning
envelope; the site’s set backs, height limitations, and flood plain
requirements yield a compact footprint while still featuring off-street
parking, a small patch of green, and an expansive roof deck with stunning views
of the bay beyond.
The
first floor is compact and contains a wall of storage running the length of the
floor. An open living, dining and kitchen area is organized in a linear manner
and opens out onto an elevated deck. Exterior stairs are the full width of the
house and lead down to the pier that juts out into the bay. The second floor
mimics the linear organization of the first and a wall of storage as well, but
two bedrooms and two bathrooms occupy the rest of the space. The master bedroom
features its own fireplace and balcony while a structural glass skylight allows
for natural light into the internal bathroom. A metal clad roof bulkhead was
carefully sculpted within the zoning restrictions and provides access to an
expansive roof deck providing 360º views of the bay and surrounding
neighborhood.
The
house is clad in cement board with cedar accents and Ipe wood decks to keep
maintenance issues at a minimum. Given that the home’s modern aesthetic builds
from the existing colors, textures, and diverse qualities within the
surrounding urban fabric, it has been accepted as another unique personality
within the neighborhood.
