While retaining iconic historic elements of the original building, Overlay Office maximized space, natural light, and an indoor-outdoor connection throughout the space. The renovation sets itself apart by infusing both the exterior and interior with sustainable, contemporary materials and bold textures and patterns. “As our first development project, we wanted to also find innovative ways to use affordable materials. I love to use a graphic sensibility in my work with thoughtful color choices and pure geometries,” says Overlay Office founder and principal Abigail Coover. The existing building was found in significant disrepair with evidence of multiple construction projects having taken place over the years. Overlay Office gutted the building while also preserving much of the exterior as a nod to adjacent residences and the traditional New York City townhouse typology.&nbsp; The historic brick wall and cornice on the front exterior were retained but updated with two shades of black paint and graphic scalloped projections—a reference to the arched windows and roofs commonly found in the neighborhood. In an effort to subvert market-driven aesthetics, Overlay Office expanded the vocabulary of a townhouse renovation by using color, materiality, and geometry to create distinctive spatial experiences, and by applying easily accessible and sustainable materials throughout. “We sought to make budget limitations an opportunity to use familiar details,&nbsp; objects, and materials in creative and unexpected ways. Through the use of simple transformations of the conventional, we wanted to show that&nbsp; customization can be available to a broader audience,” says Coover. .

Office https://overlayoffice.com/COCOON COCOON 2020 Social and Learning Club for Families Before Cocoon, a grocery store occupied the ground-floor storefront space, whose raw, industrial interior was defined by concrete floors, exposed infrastructure, and minimal walls or dividers. According to Coover, Overlay Office’s principal challenge was to transform the cold, bare environment into a warm, calming landscape that was still spacious and durable enough to accommodate a steady stream of active families.&nbsp; Overlay Office organized the expansive space using a grid of circles in three dimensions. Rather than applying floor-to-ceiling walls or doors, programs (front desk, kitchen, reading nook, nursery, yard, study, and parkour gym) are separated by millwork, flooring, and decorative elements that take the form of circles and arcs. These elements distinguish varied functions, while also maintaining openness and transparency across Cocoon’s overall landscape. “We decided early on that the space should be as open as possible and take on a park-like quality where there are not many walls and the different programs throughout the space are designated by changes in materials, millwork, or ceiling fixtures,” says Coover. A range of textured flooring and wall treatments further accentuate the distinctions between areas, without requiring stark enclosures, doors, or walls. The yard is clad in a soft, realistic astroturf whose scalloped edges express the end of this open play zone and movement towards the reading nook, whose floor is coated with cork, or the study, clad in terrazzo tile. Wall treatments also shift from space to space; in some areas, textured projections resembling bark define borders, while in others, colored cork provides wall space for children to easily display their creations. This strategy of interconnected circles ensures fluid movement between areas with different functions, while also emphasizing Cocoon’s mission of togetherness and community building. "Especially for young kids, circles promote togetherness and learning. Instead of having a linear arrangement, it encourages people to look inward and at one another," says Coover. The design team also referred to recent scientific studies that explain why humans are more attracted to curvilinear than angular shapes. Data scientist Manuel Lima outlines an evolutionary hypothesis: "It goes back to primitive roots in nature, where most shapes are curvilinear. They’re softer, they provide some safety, as opposed to angular shapes—the teeth of an animal, the hard shape of a rock." Coover also emphasizes that circular rooms, which are rare, "contribute a sense of wonder to children who have likely never experienced them."
