Our re-interpretation of the “Bayonne Box” archetype. Just about to break ground on Armstrong Avenue in Jersey City. Our idea was to create a subdued, clean lined intervention on the street-scape which is currently littered with unfortunately, “Home-Depot” ornamented “boxes” and older homes that have been dressed with aluminum or vinyl siding. The shroud of aluminum and vinyl cladding relieves added maintenance but ruins the aesthetic appeal of the original designs.
The two, two (2) family residences will add subdued modernity to the street-scape and hopefully kick off future changes on Armstrong Avenue. It would be fantastic if the older homes peeled back their aluminum and vinyl cladding to reveal the historical nature of the houses.
