CARRBORO HOUSE ON TOUR & ON AIR

We're honored the recently completed Aiyyer Residence in Carrboro, NC has been the feature of several selective tours recently including the AIA Triangle Residential Tour and the NC Modernist Houses ModaPalooza tour. Last week, the house was toured by a visiting delegation from Japan studying aging-friendly design in the U.S. Earlier in the year we were interviewed along with the owner on local WCOM 103.5 Courage Cocktail about the house's sustainable features. Our thanks to the gracious owners! 

EAST BOSTON NEIGHBORHOOD APPROVES!

CUBE is collaborating as the executive architect with the Nomad Design Collaborative on a mixed-use residential and commercial project in East Boston. Last month, the neighborhood granted project approval, paving the way forward.

INFILL HOUSE PROTOTYPE

We're working on an exciting prototype house for a new, mixed-use walkable community. The home is targeted toward first-time home buyers for small infill lots. We are honored to be part of an impressive set of architects for this signature community development. More to come!

LIBERTY WAREHOUSE ALTERNATIVE

In response to local criticism regarding the demolition of Durham's historic Liberty Warehouse, CUBE explored an option to integrate the existing facade with the proposed multi-family apartment building. Our approach takes cues from the existing facade to generate the scale, entry points, and material palette for the housing design above.

SMALL, GREEN, AGING-FRIENDLY HOME TIPS

We've started applying our commercial experience with accessibility and universal design to single-family homes. Last month we spoke at the Orange County Housing Expo on how to plan a home you can stay in as you age. To learn more check out our presentation slideshow.

WHAT WE'RE UP TO

We've always enjoyed conversations with students - we probably learn as much as they do. Partner Jason Hart taught a graduate design studio at NC State University last spring and is preparing a sketching course for the Lifelong Learning Institute at Duke University. Partner Chris Johns recently lectured at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and is co-teaching at the Boston Architectural College this fall with CUBE collaborator Mark Pomarico.

Don't hesitate to reach out if we can help. We specialize in solving problems through design.
