ArchDaily Building of the Year Nomination: StickHouse
We’re excited to announce that Stick House, Brick Garden, a townhouse project conceived with our clients and realized by Abruzzo Bodziak Architects, has been nominated for the ArchDaily Building of the Year Awards. The design re-imagines a Brooklyn wood-frame row house with a masonry base, terraced garden rooms, generous daylighting, and resilient detailing including elevated electrical systems and drainage integrated into brickwork. With its blend of vernacular materials, future-proofing measures and layered indoor-outdoor spaces, the project exemplifies how a familiar typology can be transformed into something both rooted in tradition and forward-looking. We’re grateful to our clients for their vision and to the jury for considering our work in this global field.

Our project Stick House, Brick Garden, featured on ArchDaily, presents a reimagining of a Brooklyn wood-frame row house through careful calibration of structure, landscape, and everyday use. The design introduces a masonry base that unfolds into a series of planted garden rooms, bringing light, air, and seasonal change into the heart of the home. Utilities and thresholds are elevated to address future climate pressures, while the interior is organized around clear lines, adaptable social spaces, and crafted material transitions. The article notes how the house and garden work together with an economy of means—demonstrating our ongoing interest in making familiar typologies newly resilient, open, and connected to their context.
