Need a Lift?





Ever since Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Bouler Pfluger Archiects, PC has been busy lifting houses out of flood areas all along Long Island's south shore, as well as homes in NYC's Build it Back program. A house lift doesn't necessarily mean a change in aesthetics or a decrease in the character of the neighborhood, as seen in these three lift/renovation projects, which are homes that were improved in the process of getting them out of harm's way.

Lido Beach


The Lido Beach project is now complete and epitomizes Bouler Pfluger Architects' aesthetic goals.  Buildings should express themselves in a way that connects materials, setting, and structure in a warm and inviting way.  Elements such as light, air, and flow not only serve to make an attractive and comfortable home, but also an efficient one.  This waterfront house, fueled by solar power, incorporates several passive energy features to reduce its carbon footprint without sacrificing beauty or comfort.
