We approached the renovation of 660 Congress as a ‘ship-in-a-bottle,’ meticulously preserving the historic facade and fenestration details while rebuilding anew within the existing brick walls. The entire structure was re-engineered to provide open apartment layouts and a column-free commercial space on the ground floor. &nbsp; <img width="5171" height="5215" width_o="5171" height_o="5215" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/49e101c01188a97c2707ec19314c14719ad7b017a2c6e14076922bc8ec2cc182/5254_PA.jpg" data-mid="76000100" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/49e101c01188a97c2707ec19314c14719ad7b017a2c6e14076922bc8ec2cc182/5254_PA.jpg" /><img width="800" height="784" width_o="800" height_o="784" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a1cbba3c2242e1603bf6f5a5a9c65a3f699addd1e6d2b00be0bc22358269759/660-Congress-Street---PRESENT-Architecture---11.jpg" data-mid="75635439" border="0" data-scale="33" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/800/i/6a1cbba3c2242e1603bf6f5a5a9c65a3f699addd1e6d2b00be0bc22358269759/660-Congress-Street---PRESENT-Architecture---11.jpg" /> <img width="8876" height="3062" width_o="8876" height_o="3062" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c4dba51761e0c87eb78f54830675457490cda507ddbb334213a5400d2bec788/CGR---Plans.jpg" data-mid="75638149" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c4dba51761e0c87eb78f54830675457490cda507ddbb334213a5400d2bec788/CGR---Plans.jpg" /> <img width="3514" height="2433" width_o="3514" height_o="2433" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d7dd3bb69f47e9d1b6a984ff0cbf332b790c2b8863e972dff65e00b89fb989a3/CGR---08---Detail---RD---Small---wide.jpg" data-mid="75635286" border="0" data-scale="49" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d7dd3bb69f47e9d1b6a984ff0cbf332b790c2b8863e972dff65e00b89fb989a3/CGR---08---Detail---RD---Small---wide.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="3000" width_o="2000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ee1e8f60035cb711d467ae901596aeb7bfc6b66755b55faa4917cf157055a1b/CGR---07---Detail---RD---Small.jpg" data-mid="75635159" border="0" data-scale="35" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ee1e8f60035cb711d467ae901596aeb7bfc6b66755b55faa4917cf157055a1b/CGR---07---Detail---RD---Small.jpg" /> In the design of the apartments, we returned to the historical facade by tracing the silhouette of the mansard roof with gently curving walls. At the third floor ceiling, the expansive volume of the roof is revealed with dramatic coffers that bring light into the spaces through skylights and hidden architectural lighting. <img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/599354b6ddbcd2c4ee0878aa0f5cc51395667b34ccab50347622b6b0bfd351d5/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0428_3663_AG-Edt-web.jpg" data-mid="74403706" border="0" data-scale="38" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/599354b6ddbcd2c4ee0878aa0f5cc51395667b34ccab50347622b6b0bfd351d5/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0428_3663_AG-Edt-web.jpg" /><img width="3744" height="5616" width_o="3744" height_o="5616" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e01fa875ef21b62cd4cd515baf07231e52c450f52a4d616e429fbee58409d844/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0427_6869_AG_Edit-01.jpg" data-mid="76000099" border="0" data-scale="38" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e01fa875ef21b62cd4cd515baf07231e52c450f52a4d616e429fbee58409d844/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0427_6869_AG_Edit-01.jpg" /> <img width="3648" height="5472" width_o="3648" height_o="5472" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/06c03d1eba9b1befc8b36e53e59770f434f4ad4a664123caa12ea6daac6dd0e2/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0428_3993.JPG" data-mid="75635158" border="0" data-scale="51" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/06c03d1eba9b1befc8b36e53e59770f434f4ad4a664123caa12ea6daac6dd0e2/2016RobertDeitchler09_PresentArchitecture_660CongressStreet_0428_3993.JPG" /> Program: Historical Preservation, Residential, Commercial Location: Portland, MEClient: A.K.

Each building will contain five apartments, and will be a model for future affordable developments in the area. The buildings are organized around two central courtyards that provide temperate outdoor space that will also help to passively cool the apartments. When completed, the building will exceed the energy standards for California, which are the highest in the country. <img width="3340" height="2087" width_o="3340" height_o="2087" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e65faf15076e7e14aed4c369efefd999f0813bb9238928f01a176e7adb99f7ee/PUH---Aerial-4.jpg" data-mid="76002979" border="0" data-scale="66" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e65faf15076e7e14aed4c369efefd999f0813bb9238928f01a176e7adb99f7ee/PUH---Aerial-4.jpg" /><img width="4192" height="2331" width_o="4192" height_o="2331" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6d367a41c18c9916c38adb22f25a759920ebe33b9e2a5d6022b7f60bb38f0986/PUH---Elevations.jpg" data-mid="75639639" border="0" data-scale="79" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6d367a41c18c9916c38adb22f25a759920ebe33b9e2a5d6022b7f60bb38f0986/PUH---Elevations.jpg" />&nbsp;&nbsp; <img width="4692" height="1944" width_o="4692" height_o="1944" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/014fd412488f803199b3c70a9af9a03ee305af7324633aec168dee616759c5cf/024-BNG---PUCDC-Energy-Diagram-01.jpg" data-mid="75369890" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/014fd412488f803199b3c70a9af9a03ee305af7324633aec168dee616759c5cf/024-BNG---PUCDC-Energy-Diagram-01.jpg" /> <img width="2108" height="3131" width_o="2108" height_o="3131" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/08eb3e3ac2d37cecc1a65f60595757e3fc6ac93f040b60f874f40b5bac9bd536/PUH-SITE-PLAN-DIAGRAM.jpg" data-mid="75640144" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/08eb3e3ac2d37cecc1a65f60595757e3fc6ac93f040b60f874f40b5bac9bd536/PUH-SITE-PLAN-DIAGRAM.jpg" /> <img width="4422" height="3078" width_o="4422" height_o="3078" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e1739d714e2dd72198a32e220fb6634d175de5860cab967027fd73b95881de92/PUH---FLOOR-PLAN---BUILDING-A.jpg" data-mid="75456421" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e1739d714e2dd72198a32e220fb6634d175de5860cab967027fd73b95881de92/PUH---FLOOR-PLAN---BUILDING-A.jpg" /> Program: Affordable Farmworker Housing Location: Coachella Valley, CATeam: Andre Guimond, Evan Erlebacher, Harry Lam, Emily Gruendel Collaborators: NOUS Engineering (Structural Engineer)Status: ProposalYear: 2016 - On-going https://guimondarchitects.com/Bed-Stuy-Townhouse Tue, 23 Jun 2020 18:51:25 +0000 Andre Guimond Architects https://guimondarchitects.com/Bed-Stuy-Townhouse Bed-Stuy Townhouse <img width="1600" height="1000" width_o="1600" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/66854ff15adb2d4a0e1143bdcfa6fb98c82e2e1eed18b46d1657db721f99a280/JMG---Sunroom-East.jpg" data-mid="75466296" border="0" data-scale="70" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/66854ff15adb2d4a0e1143bdcfa6fb98c82e2e1eed18b46d1657db721f99a280/JMG---Sunroom-East.jpg" /> In the renovation and landscaping of a townhouse, the existing ground floor addition is rethought as a sun room, a distinct threshold that is simultaneously separate and belonging to the apartment interior and the garden outside. It’s distinguished by a single material gesture of wood cladding that “encloses” the space despite the large doorways that flank the room.

Private offices and meeting rooms line the perimeter of the space to maximize open office space and allow flexibility for potential growth.

Meanwhile, the City owns a large stock of small and oddly shaped vacant lots that do not conform to their zoning designation and have been traditionally passed over for development. Our challenge is to design a generic prototype that can flexibly adapt to different lot sizes, shapes and zoning types across a wide spectrum of neighborhoods, all while introducing strategies that improve quality and affordability. <img width="2083" height="2876" width_o="2083" height_o="2876" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bea6489b87a5b4d9231385ba8a2175c8fb0d6b77d0cb6582cfa36874cb01164a/SLC---Street-View.jpg" data-mid="75374173" border="0" data-scale="30" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bea6489b87a5b4d9231385ba8a2175c8fb0d6b77d0cb6582cfa36874cb01164a/SLC---Street-View.jpg" /><img width="2400" height="5002" width_o="2400" height_o="5002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0864ae86758f7e279e310a6d073487d38b305f8eb2960d5b376bab6aeee0937/SLC---Backyard.jpg" data-mid="75979558" border="0" data-scale="20" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0864ae86758f7e279e310a6d073487d38b305f8eb2960d5b376bab6aeee0937/SLC---Backyard.jpg" /> Our approach to these nonconforming lots shares kinship with two historic New York City housing typologies: the mid-density rowhouse with its “railroad” style enfilade plan and the low density townhouse with its characteristic front door and stoop. The hybrid result is a vertical stack of narrow one bedroom townhouses with individuated private entrances. <img width="1000" height="1600" width_o="1000" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8b642125459823f7c683d10e84766fae256dddb7b3e7508aa10b8c3e259d0844/SLC---Stairs.jpg" data-mid="75374399" border="0" data-scale="24" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8b642125459823f7c683d10e84766fae256dddb7b3e7508aa10b8c3e259d0844/SLC---Stairs.jpg" /><img width="3000" height="1875" width_o="3000" height_o="1875" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2d17e80f63bbc3fc1690afd71ee9dbe7ce8016240422eaa3886dee16f8dba973/SLC---Living-Room.jpg" data-mid="75979390" border="0" data-scale="46" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2d17e80f63bbc3fc1690afd71ee9dbe7ce8016240422eaa3886dee16f8dba973/SLC---Living-Room.jpg" /> <img width="4228" height="2329" width_o="4228" height_o="2329" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79afbe2b94a002970f3575cc6bbb82520e6a3f7e2ab84fb3a76f522f840650ea/SLC---Plans-1.jpg" data-mid="75461846" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79afbe2b94a002970f3575cc6bbb82520e6a3f7e2ab84fb3a76f522f840650ea/SLC---Plans-1.jpg" /> Program: Housing Location: New York, NYTeam: Andre Guimond, Evan Erlebacher, Harry LamStatus: ProposalYear: 2019 https://guimondarchitects.com/The-Other-House Tue, 23 Jun 2020 15:02:28 +0000 Andre Guimond Architects https://guimondarchitects.com/The-Other-House The Other House <img width="4528" height="2646" width_o="4528" height_o="2646" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3e7de075b6f250a1d5334a2888011c2ff166208cab57bbf2340e503aa39cc9b1/PRESENT-Catskills-House.jpg" data-mid="75449774" border="0" data-scale="83" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3e7de075b6f250a1d5334a2888011c2ff166208cab57bbf2340e503aa39cc9b1/PRESENT-Catskills-House.jpg" /> Andre Guimond Architects developed a single-family retreat in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains in Ulster County, New York. The house capitalizies on New York City’s nascent reorientation north, away from the carefully manicured lawns of the Hamptons, toward the wild, unspoilt possibilities of the Catskills and beyond. The house embodies our firm’s core values: a commitment to good, lasting design, an attention to materiality and craft, spatial clarity through an economy of ideas and forms, and sustainable, energy-efficient construction. It is designed to fill the unmet demand for modern, new-build upstate second homes that are within easy reach of the City. <img width="3115" height="3115" width_o="3115" height_o="3115" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0976a0657014f67345e4ea5a8fe99ab3538281c27f912aa5300d6822f428fb08/PSH---Plan-Roof.jpg" data-mid="75986768" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0976a0657014f67345e4ea5a8fe99ab3538281c27f912aa5300d6822f428fb08/PSH---Plan-Roof.jpg" /><img width="3116" height="3052" width_o="3116" height_o="3052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cefa09d19d6f1f493fd579a993097e1ac29b35427d38ff3e493db7ab8458659f/PSH---Plan-1F.jpg" data-mid="75988056" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cefa09d19d6f1f493fd579a993097e1ac29b35427d38ff3e493db7ab8458659f/PSH---Plan-1F.jpg" /><img width="3115" height="3043" width_o="3115" height_o="3043" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e37eef9a2ddc2f3aa400fa7376e0375756f515950e012dd16e98fc54310d7438/PSH---Plan-Basement.jpg" data-mid="75988057" border="0" data-scale="53" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e37eef9a2ddc2f3aa400fa7376e0375756f515950e012dd16e98fc54310d7438/PSH---Plan-Basement.jpg" /> <img width="3962" height="2659" width_o="3962" height_o="2659" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/721d49974cbe8e509cf2a329e88a89b41d4310ccdaa0f4d6faddc596d9dcfda2/PSH---Elevations.jpg" data-mid="75986765" border="0" data-scale="73" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/721d49974cbe8e509cf2a329e88a89b41d4310ccdaa0f4d6faddc596d9dcfda2/PSH---Elevations.jpg" /><img width="3882" height="1743" width_o="3882" height_o="1743" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/edb0122bbd5342d12c7bc44e8a27f577ad59ab0d51389d5f24bd0e56bda99245/PSH---section.jpg" data-mid="75484728" border="0" data-scale="73" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/edb0122bbd5342d12c7bc44e8a27f577ad59ab0d51389d5f24bd0e56bda99245/PSH---section.jpg" />&nbsp; &nbsp;<img width="3773" height="3077" width_o="3773" height_o="3077" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a63144b9795d64a67cecf1ec36b00c0aa0ca2838fc0ab6285f3a70c47fe70abd/PSH---Site-Plan.jpg" data-mid="75986769" border="0" data-scale="73" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a63144b9795d64a67cecf1ec36b00c0aa0ca2838fc0ab6285f3a70c47fe70abd/PSH---Site-Plan.jpg" /> Program: Housing Location: Ulster County, NYTeam: Andre Guimond, Evan Erlebacher, Harry LamStatus: ProposalYear: 2018 - 2019 https://guimondarchitects.com/Losbates Tue, 26 May 2020 17:21:18 +0000 Andre Guimond Architects https://guimondarchitects.com/Losbates Lošbates Public School<img width="5000" height="1463" width_o="5000" height_o="1463" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/855b80b3d2b5d3bcbf10d3c0f61d08acfcc98be71c94480cc0950da49c89089d/Neighbor---View-02---small.jpg" data-mid="76004922" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/855b80b3d2b5d3bcbf10d3c0f61d08acfcc98be71c94480cc0950da49c89089d/Neighbor---View-02---small.jpg" /> The New LOŠBATES School is a two story structure organised around two central courtyards. The gymnasium occupies a separate building which breaks down the overall mass to achieve a more appropriate scale relationship with its residential neighbors. The shared programs – cafeteria, auditorium, and gymnasium – are open to the public via a large public plaza that operates like an urban corridor uniting the campus. <img width="8200" height="2400" width_o="8200" height_o="2400" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6f3f7e6e2045d7e8f373a13803e16995a8f7e0ac6594b1690eeafb1c6a9c583/Stairs---View.jpg" data-mid="75642640" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6f3f7e6e2045d7e8f373a13803e16995a8f7e0ac6594b1690eeafb1c6a9c583/Stairs---View.jpg" /> Preparatory and primary school classrooms are located on the Ground Floor with secondary classrooms located on the First Floor.
