Small Office Building
Josephine Street, Staten Island, Richmond County, NY, United States
The
design of this small office building was generated by the owner’s desire
for a modern, sustainable building, the site and the context of the mixed
residential/commercial neighborhood. The geometry of the building is a direct
response to the trapezoidal shape of the lot, with the curved west wall being
tangent to the west property line. The main entry was pulled out to the front
in order to maximize each floor plate. The butterfly roof which hovers over the
building is a response to the pitched roofs of the surrounding houses and is on
an angle that leads from the front west corner of the lot to the rear east
corner. The inverted pitch allows a unique and exciting experience of the
interior while the angle organizes the floor plan. The roof shades clerestory
windows which allow natural light to flood the interior from above while
providing a natural ventilation source to vent hot air from the inside. The
extensive west facing glass is shaded by overhangs, as well as the existing trees
on the adjacent lot. The cellar office spaces also feature extensive natural
light. Exterior materials include brick to reference both the residences and
the adjacent commercial building, glass and aluminum panels. Sustainable design
strategies included the use of extensive natural light with exterior shading of
the glass, low-e glass, operable windows throughout; materials sourced within a
400 mile radius of the site, brick, engineered wood floors,
low flow toilets, steel with recycled content, aluminum with recycled content,
low voc paints and high efficiency HVAC equipment.
