Modern Green Home
Project Type: 3 bath, 2 powder room, 3 bedroom, great room & family room, 2 story NYC Metro Area site demoing existing home and building new while expanding SF of the home and transforming from a simple cottage to new modern energy efficient smart home the client had been dreaming of.
Project Process: Client had AGD perform an on-site consult before purchasing the home then purchased the home and had AGD perform a feasibility study. They then took time to live in the home and see what they’d further want to change. Neighborhood review took longer than expected as during the process they had us slightly lower the proposed height. Client signed on a contractor recommended by friends. They knew it would take longer, but the client wanted quality.
AGD’s feasibility study on the site helped the client evaluate multiple options and how they affected project budget, schedule, and design for the renovation. Options included exploring adding an elevator, excavation to enlarge the basement, an additional basement kitchenette, laundry on the first floor versus the basement—and more.

With the incredible views from the property, unique location on the water, and adjacency to a public nature preserve; AGD helped the client better connect with nature by improving site design while adding features such as large ceiling skylights, multiple outdoor decks & patios, out door fireplace, and outdoor kitchen.
AGD and the clients ultimately developed the design concept below into construction documents (final blue prints) that were presented to the Colony by AGD and the team.
