New photos of West Village Townhouse! BKSK renovated this 5-story townhouse for a young family in the West Village. The ground floor features a loft-inspired design with an open floor plan connecting the foyer, living room, dining room, and kitchen. The kitchen is framed on one side with a folding glass wall that opens fully, providing ready access to an intimate rear yard during nice weather. The modern stair features dark wood and metal, and a unique, delicate woven leather railing detail. On the second floor, the living room opens onto a glass block terrace floor, flooding the kitchen below with natural light. The most intimate areas of the home, the bathrooms and master suite, evoke warmth and simplicity with a touch of whimsy, as color, pattern, and texture are used to complement the neutral architectural palette.

BKSK is thrilled to announce that we have received a Public Design Commission (PDC) Award of Excellence for "A Bit of Everything," an exhibition by artist Misha Kahn, to be showcased at the Douglaston-Little Neck Queens Public Library. ? The exhibition features a distinctive blend of art and design. As a child, Misha Kahn was inspired by his own experiences visiting the local public library: “I would wander through the seemingly endless rows of stacks and pick up unexpected books to discover new stories, histories, and characters. For me, the library was a safe space, a community center and grounds for discovery all in one. I think the element of surprise and unexpected discovery is the part that really gives a library its true magic.” His new creation "A Bit of Everything" aims to capture this essence by using shapes that evoke aspects of the community and forms inspired by the stories and information contained within the library. ? Congratulations to the entire design team, as we look forward to watching the project come to life!? ?

Last week, BKSK welcomed Architect and Professor, David T. Fortin, along with architectural students from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada to visit the BKSK office and learn more about the Tammany Hall roof design. The building's restoration and expansion included a 3-story rooftop addition, composed of a self-supporting free form shell grid dome atop a reconstructed hipped roof of steel-and-glass. It was a pleasure to share our design process with the group, and it is always rewarding to see the emergence of the next generation of architects. #BKSKApplause #NYCDesign #ArchitecturalDesign #TammanyHall?#AdaptiveReuse #Preservation

We attended the annual Battery Conservancy Luncheon earlier this month. It’s always a treat to be with our friends at The Battery Conservancy and support their hard work and vision in a space we have been lucky enough to help craft! Hooray for the Battery’s longstanding efforts to preserve, protect and beautify the lower Manhattan waterfront. Pictured: Joan Krevlin #celebration #fundraising #conservancy #batteryplayscape ??? A party to support The Battery’s gardeners, amongst 240,000 sq ft of perennial gardens! Thank you to all who joined us at Tuesday’s Battery Gardeners’ Luncheon, celebrating Plants and Play.
