Long Island City, NY
West Beech is a sustainable, single-family home in the West End of Long Beach, NY. It is the first self-initiated project by The Up Studio which aims to develop concept-driven architecture within Long Island's most vibrant, walkable downtowns.
The home’s modern design features an open floor plan, ocean views, a roof deck, multiple balconies calibrated according to the sun’s angle, and a location in the West End neighborhood of Long Beach that provides close access to the beach and local businesses and restaurants, as well as direct access to New York City on the Long Island Rail Road.
The project’s design concept consolidates all utilities into an active core that brings all fixed elements to the center of the home and clears the facade for maximum fenestration. This organization enables a fully open, rectangular floor plan with maximum flexibility.
The home's location in the West End neighborhood of Long Beach, NY provides close access to the beach, boardwalk and local businesses, shopping and restaurants. Additionally the walkable, coastal downtown also has direct access to New York City in less than one hour on the Long Island Rail Road.
