O.B. DAVIS FUNERAL HOME INTERIOR RENOVATIONS PORT JEFFERSON STATION, NY (PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTION) AFTER MERGING WITH ANOTHER LOCAL FUNERAL HOME, AN INCREASED CLIENT BASE GREW BEYOND WHAT THE EXISTING FACILITY COULD ACCOMMODATE. DIGNITY FUNERAL HOMES APPROACHED OUR FIRM WITH THE REQUEST OF UPDATING AND RENOVATING THEIR FACILITIES TO PROVIDE A DESIGN THAT COULD MAXIMIZE THE USE OF EACH SPACE. THE PROJECT, CURRENTLY IN PHASE 2 CONSTRUCTION, THE SCOPE OF WORK INCLUDES THE CONVERSION OF AN EXISTING LOUNGE AND SHOWROOM INTO A THIRD CHAPEL SPACE THAT CAN ALSO FUNCTION AS A LOUNGE OR ARRANGEMENT OFFICE. THE TWO EXISTING CHAPELS HAVE BEEN RENOVATED TO MATCH THE NEW INTERIOR STYLE. NEW CEILINGS WERE DESIGNED TO REPLACE EXISTING ACOUSTIC TILING, WOOD PANELING, CUSTOM MOLDINGS AND ARCHWAYS WERE DESIGNED AND INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE SPACES. RECONFIGURATION OF OTHER AREAS OF THE BUILDING WILL ACCOMMODATE LARGER RESTROOM FACILITIES FOR THE BUILDING OCCUPANTS, AND REMODELING OF THE OFFICE AND EXISTING ARRANGEMENT ROOM TO MATCH THE BUILDING'S NEW AESTHETIC. WITH THE PROJECT RESTRICTIONS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, WE HAVE MADE AN EFFORT TO CHOSE FINISHES AND FIXTURES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO LOWER ENERGY USE AND BETTER AIR QUALITY WHEREVER POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE PROJECT. |

EAST SETAUKET, NY THE CVS CORPORATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH SLAYTON DEVELOPMENT EARMARKED A CORNER PROPERTY IN THE VILLAGE OF SETAUKET FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW STAND ALONE CVS PHARMACY. AS PART OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THEY WERE TO HIRE A LOCAL ARCHITECT TO DESIGN A BUILDING THAT COULD BLEND WITHIN THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. FROM THE BASE PLAN CVS USES TO LAYOUT STORES, THE SCALE OF THE 10,000 SQUARE FOOT SPACE WAS REDUCED TO A MORE MANAGEABLE FORM. ROOFLINES WERE BROUGHT DOWN AND THE MANSARD DISCARDED FOR MORE TRADITIONAL GABLES AND SLOPES. STANDARD DRYVIT SIDING AND BACKLIT SIGNS WERE TAKEN REPLACED WITH A CLAPBOARD LOOK AND FRONT LIT SIGNAGE. TWO SIDES OF THE BUILDING WERE PLACED INTO THE HILLSIDE GIVING THE WALL AN AMBIENT EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF SIXTY DEGREES IN WINTERTIME. IN ADDITION, CLERESTORY WINDOWS RUN THE LENGTH OF THE WEST WIDE OF THE BUILDING TO ALLOW NATURAL LIGHT TO PENETRATE THE BUILDING IN THE AFTERNOON. THESE SIMPLE GREEN BUILDING STRATEGIES WERE INCORPORATED TO HELP REDUCE ENERGY COSTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE BUILDING. |

WITH A LARGE TEN PLUS ACRE CAMPUS THE SCHOOL PROVIDES A NATURAL SETTING OF WOODS, FIELDS, STUDENT GARDENS AND FARMS.

SETAUKET FIRE DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS EAST SETAUKET, NY THE SETAUKET FIRE DEPARTMENT OPERATES THREE ENGINE COMPANIES OVER ITS TWENTY-EIGHT SQUARE MILE DISTRICT. THE MAIN HOUSE SITS ON THE HISTORIC MAIN STREET CROSSROADS OF THE COMMUNITY. THE EXISTING WOOD FRAMED BUILDING, ORIGINALLY BUILT IN 1930, IS NO LONGER ABLE TO SUSTAIN THE GROWING NEEDS OF A MODERN FIRE COMPANY. THE PLAN IS TO DEVELOP A MODERN AND SUSTAINABLE FIREHOUSE THAT BLENDS CLEANLY INTO THE SURROUNDING HISTORIC COMMUNITY. THE GOAL OF THE NEW DESIGN APPROACH IS TO BLEND THE MONUMENTAL SCALE OF THE FIREHOUSE INSTITUTION WITH FAMILIAR FORMS AND DETAILING MIMICKING THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD STRUCTURES. THE PROJECT CAN BE VIEWED IN THREE PARTS: THE FIREHOUSE ITSELF, THE FIRE DISTRICT OFFICES, AND THE GREENHOUSE AS THE LINKING ELEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO. THE MAIN FIREHOUSE STRUCTURE IS CLAD IN A PRECAST CONCRETE PANEL WITH BRICK SET IN FOR THERMAL MASS AND EASE OF ERECTION. THE EAST WEST ORIENTATION ALLOWS DAYLIGHTING IN THE APPARATUS BAYS AND FOR PASSIVE AND ACTIVE SOLAR ENERGY USE. THE DISTRICT OFFICES ARE ORIENTED NORTH TO SOUTH ALONG OLD TOWN ROAD, THIS STRUCTURE WAS PLACED IN A BERM, TAKING THE MOST ENERGY INTENSIVE PART OF THE OPERATION AND PLACING IT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WITH MORE STABLE TEMPERATURES ULTIMATELY REDUCING HEATING AND COOLING COSTS. THE MULTIPLE ROOF GABLES OVER THIS SECTION ALLOWS FOR THE MAXIMUM SOUTH FACING SURFACE AREA FOR FUTURE PHOTOVOLTAIC INSTALLATION. THE GREENHOUSE STRUCTURE CONTAINS THE STAIRS, ELEVATORS, AND BATHROOMS. THE STRUCTURE SERVES AS A PASSIVE SOLAR FURNACE, COLLECTING HEAT FROM THE SUN AND USING IT TO HEAT THE BUILDING'S SECOND FLOOR. |

BABYLON, NY AS ON OF THE FIRST TOWNS NATIONWIDE TO REQUIRE LEED CERTIFICATION AND THE INTEGRATION OF SUSTAINABLE BUILDING PRACTICES INTO NEW DEVELOPMENT, THEY FIND THEMSELVES AT THE FOREFRONT OF INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY, BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY. THE TOWN APPROACHED OUR FIRM WITH THE CHALLENGE OF DESIGNING A ZERO ENERGY HOUSE; THE HOUSE ALONG WITH ITS OCCUPANTS AND USERS, BUST CREATE THE SAME AMOUNT OF USABLE ENERGY NEEDED TO RUN THE HOME. THE BUILDING WOULD ALSO NEED TO ACHIEVE LEED PLATINUM CERTIFICATION, AND WOULD THEN SERVE AS AN EDUCATIONAL TOOL FOR THE COMMUNITY BEFORE BEING COMMITTED TO LOCAL FAMILIES IN NEED AS TEMPORARY HOUSING. THE FINAL DESIGN WAS A TWO STORY STRUCTURE THAT WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL NECESSARY SERVICES OF A SMALL FAMILY HOME. THE DESIGN ALSO WOULD MANAGE TO CREATE MORE ENERGY THAN IS NEEDED TO OPERATE THE HOUSE DURING THE COURSE OF AN AVERAGE YEAR THROUGH THE USE OF BOTH PASSIVE AND ACTIVE DESIGN AND ENERGY STRATEGIES. NATURE WAS INCORPORATED INTO THE DESIGN OF THE HOME WITH THE INCLUSION OF A SMALL GREEN ROOF, DECK, AND A LONG NARROW GREENHOUSE SPACE ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOME. RESIDENTS ARE CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE WHILE BEING PROVIDED WITH PASSIVE HEATING IN THE WINTER AND NATURAL VENTILATION IN THE SUMMER. ALONG WITH THE PROPER PLACEMENT AND SIZING OF WINDOWS, THE COMFORT LEVEL OF THE HOME IS INCREASED WHILE REDUCING THE NEED FOR ACTIVE HEATING AND COOLING. THESE TYPES OF PASSIVE FEATURES ARE SUPPLEMENTED WITH A LARGE SOLAR ARRAY USING A VARIETY OF TECHNOLOGIES TO HELP RUN THE ENERGY EFFICIENT APPLIANCES, LIGHTING AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS. THE DESIGN OFFERS FLEXIBLE SPACES THAT ARE COMFORTABLE AND CONNECTED TO NATURE AND THE SURROUNDING COMMUNITY. |

PORT JEFFERSON, NY AFTER BEING MOVED SEVERAL TIMES FROM ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION, THE PHILLIPS ROE HOUSE WAS PLACED ON A VERY PROMINENT CORNER OF DOWNTOWN PORT JEFFERSON.

UPON INSPECTION OF THE BUILDING'S STRUCTURE PCA DETERMINED THAT THE ORIGINAL BUILDING FRAME WAS NOT SOUND ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE USE ON ITS OWN. THE FIRM PROPOSED THAT THE BUILDING BE STRIPPED DOWN TO ITS ORIGINAL TIMBER FRAMING, AND SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE OF 18TH CENTURY STRUCTURE TO BE DISPLAYED IN MORE OF A MUSEUM TYPE ATMOSPHERE. A MODERN EXTERIOR STRUCTURE WOULD BE BUILT SURROUNDING THE FRAME TO ENSURE PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS, AND SALT WATER DAMAGE FROM THE HARBOR ACROSS THE STREET. THE DESIGN ALSO FOCUSED HEAVILY ON GREEN DESIGN AND ENERGY SAVINGS FOR THE OPERATION OF THE BUILDING. |
