Recent Sketches: West Islip

The initial stages of an architectural project are a design challenge based on many factors including site, program, zoning, budget, and aesthetics.  Trying to arrange the flow of the house in coordination with its footprint while remaining within the zoning guidelines of setbacks and lot coverage is only compounded when working on a waterfront home. Challenges like these require patient problem solving and the cumulative experience of previous projects.  Once the program seems resolved, then it's time to work on the form of the building, a balancing act of shapes and textures.  Above are sketches for a new waterfront project in West Islip, with views overlooking the Great South Bay.  These sketches will now be drafted using AutoCAD.

West Islip Waterfront: A Work in Progress

This West Islip project is another one of Bouler Architecture's waterfront homes which mixes energy efficient systems with athletic modern design. Working within a symmetrical framework, the dynamic angles of the house's exterior create unusual interior spaces which capitalize on the panoramic views. Even in their unfinished state, the effect is spacious and elegant.
