The uber-modern Y House exemplifies what I see as a welcome trend in architecture and construction: homes have a soul once again. As architectural firm Create Atelier’s website states, “What if a home could do more than shelter us?”
Alexa Mendez and Josh Allen, partners in Create Atelier, are the talent behind the Y House. We featured this award-winning team before anyone else back in 2021, when they finished their first residential project in Little Forest Hills. Although they had been working in the commercial space for some time, they wanted to show how design can be thoughtful and architecture accessible for everyone. The success of their Little Forest Hills cottage was immediate, and Create Atelier was born.
Architecture shouldn’t separate us from nature. It should bring nature back into everyday life.
