On August 10, 2010 By

by Jaime Gross I have a soft spot for tree houses, hav­ing built one with my dad at age 11. To me they rep­re­sent the ulti­mate com­ing together of domes­tic­ity and nature; a way to feel shel­tered and safe but still in touch with the nat­ural world.

Architecture » Double Time: Bungalow Redux

On August 9, 2010 By

by Erika Heet Upon the birth of their first child, artist Stas Orlovski and food styl­ist Alise Arato felt that their 700-square-foot 1930s bun­ga­low in the Mar Vista area of Los Ange­les was too small to accom­mo­date their grow­ing fam­ily, and hoped to dou­ble their space. They con­sid­ered remod­el­ing, but archi­tect Kevin Oreck, who had already reworked a four-car garage on the prop­erty into an art stu­dio for Orlovski, helped them real­ize the need for a total rebuild

JPDA’s East Village Studio: Making small space livable and beautiful

On August 9, 2010 By

Of the moves I’ve helped friends with, the worst are prob­a­bly the ones to the East Vil­lage, a Man­hat­tan neigh­bor­hood of often elevator-free six– and even seven-storey walk-ups. Try­ing to maneu­ver a couch up the impos­si­bly nar­row stair­cases one level at a time is like try­ing to solve a very heavy Rubik’s cube. And once all the furniture’s up there, the res­i­dent has another dif­fi­cult task ahead of them: Try­ing to shoe­horn all their stuff into the famously nar­row and tiny apartments.
