The Hybrid Urban House is a new residence located on Vanderbilt Avenue, in the historic Fort Greene District in Brooklyn, located on a rare through lot spanning between two Avenues. The new building is part of a two-building complex. Historically, Vanderbilt Avenue in Brooklyn has been the avenue of carriage houses, still many in existence, servicing the mansions on Clinton Avenue. This design takes that history into account. One can see through the glass walls all the way into the back of the building into the garden and the existing home. CNC 3D milling technology was used to develop forms for the cast stone that make up the façade panels, and colors and dimensions were carefully chosen at the direction of the Landmarks and Preservation Commission. With a large open façade towards the street and full sliding floor to ceiling glass on the rear, the spaces can be either opened entirely to create a single space or closed for privacy using the full ceiling height doors.
