"Those projects become really specific and about the detail and about the user and our clients and their hopes and interests in design."
"While this project has 21 residences," he says, "we tried to approach the design of each [unit] through the lens of the individual spirit and characteristic of that unit within the building."
"They have an exposure on the front and an exposure on the back," he explains. "Some apartments take advantage of both of those. Some of them all face one direction."
Brent Buck emphasizes that good architecture begins with how a place feels to live in. He trained at Yale and spent a decade with Todd Williams Billie Tsien Architects before founding his own studio eight years ago. Early commissions focused on single-family homes and townhouses, establishing a priority on detail, user needs, and client hopes. The 21-residence 110 Boerum Place in Cobble Hill adapts the scale and character of historic brownstones rather than following typical new-condo conventions. The developer is Avdoo. Buck designed the building as stacked individual homes and intentionally avoided New York City's "rectangle problem," creating varied exposures rather than a single orientation.
