The Newburgh Light House, located in Auburn Village, is an innovative and sustainable housing solution designed for a confined site. Accommodating up to 21 residents over ten levels, its design navigates complex fire, building, and acoustic requirements by utilizing materials such as glass block. The project aims to connect to the surrounding environment, evoking a lantern-like effect. Utilizing modular construction and prefabricated elements, it balances density with livability, targeting downsizers seeking convenient urban living without sacrificing the essence of suburbia.
The Newburgh Light House is a highly sustainable housing project that cleverly integrates into a compact site, overcoming various architectural and safety challenges.
Using glass block as a primary material ensured that the challenges of fire and acoustic requirements were met, while allowing ample natural light into each residence.
The design aims to create a community vibe appealing to downsizers, featuring full-level apartments that maximize light, views, and urban connection despite the site limitations.
Modularity and prefabrication were key to the design, allowing for efficient construction processes that respond to the complex site challenges and aesthetic goals of the project.
