By replacing asphalt, the new playground manages nearly half a million gallons of stormwater annually, improving the health of local waterways. At various public school sites in New York City, green infrastructure components proposed by The Trust for Public Land have included small green roofs on storage sheds, rain gardens, rain catchment systems, and artificial turf fields with a gravel base that allow stormwater to pass through and be absorbed into the ground. With such improvements, green infrastructure components can capture at least the first inch of stormwater that falls on the playgrounds each time it rains.

The asphalt at this school playground in Brooklyn caused stormwater to drain into the Gowanus Canal, putting pressure on the city's sewer system, and adding contaminated runoff to an already polluted waterway. It also made a drab addition to the cityscape.

Tosdevin says Miele has always been an easy fit for him and his clients, and sites the appliances’ longevity as a big factor. “Dealing with companies you trust and that stand behind their product make business more pleasurable.”

The Museum of Craft and Folk Art commissioned artist Jenifer K. Wofford to repaint the rules that Corita laid out for her art students at Immaculate Heart College. It's good advice: "Find a place you trust and then try trusting it for a while"; "Consider everything an experiment"; "Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes."

The result of the project is an artfully arranged house that looks out on open fields (protected by a land trust) and the rolling landscape beyond. “The only downside is that the area is farmed, so we get manure smells,” Doug jokes.

Resident Peter Østergaard (with Maja, 6, and Carl, 20 months) and architect and photographer Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen have been best friends since they were 13, which makes for easy collaboration. Says Bjerre-Poulsen: “There are always a lot of challenges in a renovation, 

but Peter and Åsa trusted my judgment and gave me a completely free hand. Usually it’s hard to push people into unconventional solutions, but Peter has 

all these wild and crazy ideas.” One such idea was 

to embed a transparent glass-and-iron door in 

the floor, operated by a 

hydraulic pump, which allows access to the subterranean wine cellar. At night, the lit-up cellar glows, lending the compact living room an increased sense 

of verticality.

"Hosting this way kind of forces you out on the limb of human trust, and it’s always amazing to me to see how others receive what we are giving, with such kindness and respect," says Tarah. "One of our favorite quotes came from a guest who said, ‘Is it possible to be homesick for an Airbnb?’ That sentiment was so sweet to us, and has rung true for so many other guests as they have commented on the warmth and welcome they have felt while staying at The Lofthouse."

Above the kitchen extension, Rivera installed a peaked roof and, as part of the new design, placed a triangular window that follows the roofline. “I remember looking at that little triangle, which was quite expensive, and thinking, is it really necessary?” says Andrew. “But Helena said, ‘Just trust me, you should do this.’ And of course, it looks so much better this way than it would have without it.”

Quite high on the list of client’s objectives was a very high level of thermal
performance. Generally, the amount of largely sized openings would have had the
potential to cause significant heat losses. To counteract this, we introduced our
clients to a German window manufacturer who is a trusted supplier that has
provided a top-quality product for several of our other projects. This supplier
custom built triple glazed tilt and turn joinery that was also made from Larch for
an overall cohesive look.
