CUBE | HOUSE PALETTE ARCHITECTURE
Palette Architecture blends the traditional and contemporary with addition of new volume
Palette Architecture , a firm focused on the creation of built environment that enhances the daily experience of our contemporary lives , is proud to unveil CUBE | HOUSE , located in historic brownstone Brooklyn , New York . The late- 1800s Italianate townhouse needed rescue . After previous owners stripped away the original details , partitions , and materials , the building ' s spirit had become muddled . The design brief called for the revitalization of the house ' s original character , with contemporary connections to history and nature .
“ The architectural approach was twofold ,” says Peter Miller , a Partner at Palette Architecture . “ In addition to creating a threshold to the historic qualities by carving a 17-foot square hole into the rear of the home , we endeavored to create new contemporary connections through a 20-foot cube located in the rear yard .”
