East Windsor Residence_Alterstudio Architects, LLP





From the outside alone one could guess that the view from the top floor of this residence is nothing to joke about. The principle Archtiect Keven Alter is quoted as saying, " Despite its four bedrooms, the three-story house is essentially a one-bedroom loft." The top floor is said to present a 270 degree view. The oak looking facade over the stony base of the structure presents a mixture of materials that balances out the visual experience of the exterior of the work. Its is not surprising that the client a radiologist and a father of five commented on how the whole process of the design and construction took him to a new level intellectually. The structure just looks like it was fun to build! Maybe that the trick to good architecture. Make it look like its a breeze to put together. Actually that not a bad approach to most works of art!
