Carriage House Renovation by FDM Architects

Carriage House is located in New York and has been renovated by FDM Architects. From the architects “The renovation of this 1880’s carriage house became an exploration of the public and private spaces of a bachelor life in both its perception and reality.

A first floor swimming pool and gym were transformed into a sybaritic space ar once gym and cocktail lounge. The chandelier, sitting group, and stucco wall mediate the dual characteristics. A voile curtain adds a layer the extends of the gym beyond.”

Located in Austin, TX, this house was designed by Peter Gluck and Partners Architects. From the architects “Standing amid grove of two hundred landmarked live oaks, significant portions of this house were built below grade to maintain the rural landscape of the site. The box on top is wrapped in a mahogany veneer and sits on an entirely transparent glass enclosure giving the appearance that it is floating, and stunning views of the natural surroundings.”
