Albany, NY – November 10, 2017 – Blaze Makoid Architecture is pleased to announce that it has been honored with an Award of Citation at tonight’s 2017 American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York State Design Awards held in Albany, NY. The award was bestowed in the Residential, Small category, for the firm’s project on Old Orchard in East Hampton. The accolade follows the firm’s recent award for Old Orchard in the Residential, Over $3 Million category at the AIA Long Island Chapter’s 53rd Annual Archi Awards in Manhasset, NY on October 20th.
Old Orchard, East Hampton, NY: One year after purchasing this 10,000-square foot modern spec house, the homeowners brought on Blaze Makoid Architecture to give the residence a complete redo. BMA addressed a series of programmatic issues with architectural moments. The language of simple wood and glass elements offers a recognizable contrast to the aluminum skin of the existing building and begins to warm the material palette. A new wood ‘tube’ was added to bisect the main structure, creating an entry plinth a few steps above the existing floor and setting up a visual alignment with a new pool house structure across the property. The second and third elements occur at either end of the existing structure, separated by small glass bridges.
