CUBE | HOUSE PALETTE ARCHITECTURE Palette Architecture blends the traditional and contemporary with addition of new volume Palette Architecture, a firm focused on the creation of built environment that enhances the daily experience of our contemporary lives, is proud to unveil CUBE | HOUSE, located in historic brownstone Brooklyn, New York. The late1800s Italianate townhouse needed rescue. After previous owners stripped away the original details, partitions, and materials, the building's spirit had become muddled. The design brief called for the revitalization of the house's original character, with contemporary connections to history and nature. “The architectural approach was twofold,” says Peter Miller, a Partner at Palette Architecture. “In addition to creating a threshold to the historic qualities by carving a 17-foot square hole into the rear of the home, we endeavored to create new contemporary connections through a 20-foot cube located in the rear yard.” 26
