SHELTER ISLAND PAVILION SHELTER ISLAND, N.Y.

摘要

Stamberg Aferiat Architecture conceived of a fanciful retreat into a 1,100-square-foot quasi-Cubist crayon box for the most demanding of clients: themselves. Nicknamed "Maison Plastique," this building on Shelter Island, N.Y., was intended to reference Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion, an allusion that Paul Aferiat and Peter Stamberg achieved "in a tongue-and-cheek sort of way," juror Scott Kilbourn said. The architect-homeowners twisted the floor plan out of a right-angle rationality and used the project as an experiment in new industrial materials, such as a rubber roof and the multiwall polycarbonate that is used in place of glass-its two sheets separated by many perpendicular bracing pieces.
