Architecture: Modern the Way We Like It
This design at 165 8th Street caught our eye last week. The owner transformed an old one-story taxpayer into, we think, a very cool modern two-family home. This is, on a small scale, what the developer of 328 Grand Avenue should have done instead of tearing down the beautiful old two-story warehouse. You like-y?

uh, 12:37, i think you have the equation wrong. recent research puts it like this:
more curb cuts = less parking = more cruising looking for parking = more traffic
well at least the bricks are red.

More curb cuts please! = less parking = less car traffic.
Bender!
it’s sort of a sad statement that all we can hope for in new construction is that it NOT display fedders boxes on it. that said, it’s not surprising a lot of people won’t like this place, all they know is victorian stylee. of this, i’ve seen worse. what’s that brown stuff hanging over the garage door?
Anyone ever see that animated television show Futurama? This reminds of the head of the robot character.
I would never want to live in his head.
i agree that the design has merit and appears to be well detailed, but that i would also use more glass. i think it can be quite interesting and thoughtful to re-use the existing structure, maybe in this case just to preserve the curb cut and garage that was there.
good concept. i would enjoy living in something along these lines.
David,
Just as bad IMO if either an owner or a developer takes the “obviously cheapest way.” We just disagree about whether that’s the case here–no accounting for taste 🙂
