For a creative couple in a small hamlet of Long Island, Brooklyn architecture practice Worrell Yeung designed a two-storey addition to their main house, with an artist studio up top and an exhibition space (and garage) below. Wrapped in 1.2-metre-tall ribbon windows from Neon Energy (a combination of the Ultra fixed and tilt-and-turn models), the upper workshop is flooded with natural light and possesses 360-degree views of the surrounding tree canopies.
To achieve the continuous run of windows, the architects worked with Silman structural engineers and devised a series of small steel columns and steel rod cross-braces for lateral support that perfectly matched the mullions.
