The Architectural League of New York: Current Work
GLUCK+
Recorded: April 7, 2015

In a lecture titled “Thinking Making Making Thinking,” the five principals of GLUCK+ illustrate the “two inseparable acts of thinking and making” through a series of recent projects. Thomas Gluck describes a house on Chicago’s North Shore that counteracts a steep bluff and poor soil by employing an innovative cellular concrete foundation and stretching the house into a procession of indoor and outdoor spaces. Stacie Wong presents the island campus of Duke University’s Marine Lab in Beaufort, NC, detailing the distinct massing, design, and material decisions the firm made to deliver a higher-performing building within the university’s budget.

Marc Gee presents the Blue Ridge House in North Carolina and the process of working side-by-side with craftsmen on the intensive detailing of a distinctive lumber wall as well as an affordable housing project in Aspen, CO in which the firm acted as the developer, architect, and builder. Charlie Kaplan details the Lady Liberty Academy Charter School in Newark, which employed pre-fabricated off-site construction that allowed the school to welcome students only nine months after construction began, and a house in Colorado that used sustainable technology and post-occupancy modifications to minimize energy use.

Following the presentation, the five principals sat down with Jared Della Valle (53:47), co-founder and president of New York City-based real estate development company Alloy, for a conversation on the challenges and rewards of taking on risk, learning to solve problems along the way, and the shortcomings of Building Information Modeling.

The Architectural League of New York: Current Work series invites significant international figures who powerfully influence contemporary architectural practice and shape the future of the built environment to present their work and ideas to a public audience.

Overview

At GLUCK+, design matters and building matters. Better buildings result when architects take on the construction process. Our approach to Architect Led Design Build ensures that the built solution is done right.

The evolution of our firm name from Peter Gluck and Partners Architects to GLUCK+ recognizes that our practice has always been inclusive. From designer to builder to owner to developer, we do what it takes and care how it’s done.  “Outside our scope” is not in our vocabulary.

Our work is diverse and recognized worldwide through national and international design awards and publications. Our range of projects–from houses, schools, religious buildings, community centers to hotels, university buildings, recreation centers, and historic restorations—are all unique because each project is specific. We are dedicated to advocating for the wants and needs of our clients.

It is their stories we want to tell.

Architect Led Design Build

Architect Led Design Build is single-source responsibility for the design, construction and commissioning of buildings. Typically, an owner hires an architect to draw a building and a contractor to oversee the subcontractors that will build the building. This separation is adverse for the quality and cost of building. Project stakeholders lose out.

Architect Led Design Build is an agile process in which the same people are responsible for an entire building project. Our architects are also construction managers, meaning feedback between method of construction and design is fluid and responsive. Priorities between design, cost and schedule are clear. Creativity is responsible.

Architectural Services

Typically an owner makes decisions about their project before an architect is involved. What is the program? Where is the site? How will it affect my budget?

As architects and builders, we have tools that are critical for navigating early unknowns, such as assessing the feasibility of a project and vetting real estate opportunities.  We are in a position to help clients strategically plan their project, to determine how much space they actually need, and to test-fit their project on potential sites.  We also consider construction options that affect the economic viability of the project.

Ultimately these early decisions are up to project owners, but we can serve as a valuable resource to clarify options.

Development

Expanding our role allows us to initiate projects that otherwise could not afford to exist.

We consider sites that developers typically shy away from because our experience as architects and builders allows us to find the feasible opportunity. We can consider building uses that are generally deemed non-profitable, such as middle-income housing, because we are also in a position to pair them with less typical, more economic methods of building, such as offsite construction.

Having the wherewithal to find and make projects is not just an opportunity to build better buildings, but to contribute to building a better urban fabric. 

We believe coming from the private realm, we have the responsibility to do our part in enriching the lives of people and communities.  The integration of our approach to architecture allows us to do that.

Principal

Peter Gluck received a Bachelor of Arts from Yale University and a Master of Architecture from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1965. After designing a series of houses from New York to Newfoundland, he went to Tokyo to design large projects for a leading Japanese construction consortium. This experience influenced Gluck’s later work both in his knowledge of Japan’s traditional aesthetics and of its efficient modern methods of integrated construction and design. Formerly Peter Gluck and Partners, the New York City based firm has been designing and building throughout the country since 1972, joined in 1992 by ARCS, a construction-management firm, established to build the firm’s designs, and in 1997 by Aspen GK, Inc., a development partnership, founded to produce well-designed, high-quality speculative housing. In 2013, the firm's identity evolved into GLUCK+ to reflect the nature of the practice: architects involved in all aspects of the design, construction and development of a project.

Exhibitions of Gluck’s award-winning work have been held in the U.S. and Japan, and he is widely published in architectural journals around the world. He has taught at Columbia and Yale schools of architecture, and curated exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art and the Milan Triennale.

    “The concept of the house came to me 15 minutes after I started to sketch,” recalls Peter… The basic idea remained unchanged: a rectilinear glass-walled pavilion canopied by a roof plane that projects out on all four sides to block summer sun, sitting atop private spaces excavated from the hillside. This project has an elemental quality, achieving a harmonious balance of earth and air.

    After spending years looking for their dream house, this Los Angeles-based family found their dream site on the side of a hill overlooking the serene San Fernando Valley...But while the homeowner concedes that the initial back and forth with the review board and inherent hillside building site were challenges, the actual design process was swift and simple. Will’s father, Peter Gluck, is a New York-based architect and founder of Gluck+ (gluckplus.com)—known for modern architect-led design builds—and knew his son’s family’s needs from the get-go...With so many windows and light-filled spaces, it might seem like the home would become an energy magnet, but the house actually produces more electricity than it uses, so nothing is ever taken from the grid.

    A modest masterpiece of modernist architecture...While the collaboration between father and son Gluck was an obvious choice, the house, too, is a particularly personal example of the ever-blurred lines between art, architecture and design, and the continuation of a familial tradition to keep them that way. Inspired by the utilitarian simplicity of Los Angeles’s case study houses whose influence on American architecture, Peter says, cannot be overstated, the structure makes use of simple materials, combined in intelligent and intuitive ways to frame the natural beauty of the site.https://bit.ly/cultured-ca

    • GLUCK+ bifurcates a Hollywood Hills home to contend with steep slopes
    GLUCK+, the New York-based firm founded by Peter Gluck, has recently completed a home in the Hollywood Hills that appears ready for takeoff. Designed for Peter's son and his family, the home contains details that could seemingly only come from a familial connection between an architect and a client. Built-ins can be found everywhere throughout, from minimalist coat racks by the second entrance door to a sheltered dog run designed to keep the family pet safe from the coyotes that roam the hills.

    GLUCK+ builds on the language of iconic design with a family home in the Hollywood Hills. Film director Will Gluck cites a few reasons why he loves his new home: A view spans from the San Fernando Valley to the San Gabriel Mountains, there’s a sense of quiet while still being close to the bustle of Downtown Los Angeles, and comfortable, open interiors make for quality family time. Most of all, however, he loves that he’s "living inside his father’s imagination."

    Mayor Justin Elicker said the city faces many difficulties, including a recent uptick in gun violence and an economic crisis during the pandemic, but development projects such as the Whitney Modern indicate to him that the city is "moving forward." "I am optimistic about the future of New Haven," he said. [Mike Piscitelli, the city’s economic development chief] said the project is proof that it is possible to add housing density to a significant economic and historic corridor of the city, both preserving "the look and feel" of the area while increasing housing stock.

    The Stack is the first pre-fab, multi-unit residential building in New York, and addresses the need for moderate-income housing in the city. It is also a pilot project for developing an economically viable solution for strategically rebuilding and filling gaps in outmoded housing. To achieve this, architectural firm Gluck+ turned to pre-fab construction, as off-site manufacturing has the potential to accelerate the building schedule, shorten the financing period and turn risky sites into opportunities.

Set amidst Crotona Park, a sprawling 130-acre public space in the South Bronx, the hope was not to bring an overwhelming presence to the urban community. So the two-story, 12,000-foot clubhouse had a level built underground to minimize its footprint, and its two sunken stadium courts were carefully constructed.But the truth is, given the impressiveness of the new facility and the good works of the organization, it's impossible for the NYJTL to remain under the radar.

    To shorten the construction schedule and thereby cut costs for a seven-story residential building in upper Manhattan, local architecture firm Gluck+ and local developers Jeffrey Brown and Kim Frank opted to take advantage of modular construction. Fifty-six modules were prefabricated and factory-finished off site in Pennsylvania while construction workers poured the concrete foundation. On top of the first floor, which houses commercial space, the modules were stacked to form 28 residential units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The process took ten months, shaving six months off the construction schedule for a traditionally built multifamily residence of the same size.

    • The architects who are building themselves a new future
    The panel's moderator, Susan Szenasy, the editor and chief of Metropolis Magazine, told the audience, "New York is such a developer town, we think that developers are kings. In fact they have been given that role here."I think architects need to get into the action. I think there's some reason that they're reticent and there's all this sort of protecting your creative role, but at the same time, feeling that the money or the development or the kind of nasty reputation of development will rub off on you," said Szenasy. "You know, you could do worse," she joked before praising the panel members for finding a productive way to bridge the two practices.Charlie Kaplan, principal of Gluck+ said he felt that his firm's finished products benefit from its versatility."We're always thinking about how do we fill all the niches that need to be filled in order to create a great building," he said during the panel. "That means not just being an architect but, in our case, being a builder."The architects recalled that it was during a slow market in the early 19902 that he and his team asked themselves, "We have all these skills, we design, we build, Why can't we develop?

    • The DIY Approach to Housing
    Patience might be a virtue, but impatience has a power of its own. Too often, architects "sit in their office waiting for somebody to call them to do a development - and they wait a long time," says Peter Gluck, RA, principal and founder of Manhattan-based GLUCK+. Instead, he and a small but ever-rising number of local architects have been taking a DIY approach with residential projects, developing their own designs. In doing so, they have gained greater control and efficiency in their work process, shed frustrating developer-client constraints, and created noteworthy new living spaces in New York City.

    • Cary Leeds Center for Tennis, Learning Unveiled
    Laurence C. Leeds Jr., Mayor David Dinkins, Bronx Borough President Rubén Diaz Jr., Nick Bollettieri, Kenneth Cole, Mortimer Singer and Manny Chirico were among those who came out Monday night to celebrate the grand opening of the Cary Leeds Center for Tennis & Learning in Crotona Park in the South Bronx.They were among the hundreds of supporters from the worlds of tennis, fashion, government and civic engagement who gathered at the new facility, which has been 15 years in the making. The creation of the $26.5 million center is a public-private partnership, with $16.5 million of public funding, and the remainder from private donors, spearheaded by project campaign co-chairs Leeds and Tory Kiam.The facility is a tribute to Leeds' late son Cary, a star on the Yale University tennis team who went on to become a world-ranked player, ranking No. 12 in doubles and competing in six U.S. Open and five Wimbledon tournaments, where in 1981 he reached the semifinals in mixed doubles.

    Winning the race to build the tallest prefab building in New York City, Gluck+ assembles 28 affordable housing units in less than a month. A new residential building in upper Manhattan, dubbed The Stack and designed by the architecture firm Gluck+, employed offsite prefabrication methods to create a high-quality, affordable housing solution that was raised onsite in only 19 days. The modular construction is visible in the exterior, where individual units jut out to create a stepped façade that celebrates the construction process while still relating to the scale and texture of the surrounding architecture. The Stack also dispels the myth that prefabrication limits the size and shape of the final product: The building’s 28 apartments, which come in a variety of configurations and span multiple modules, optimize the infill site’s small footprint.

    • Tower House
    While the Tower House is a beautifully calibrated, artificial object in its forest setting, part of its appeal is found not in its visual presence, or the arrangement of space, but in the resolution of the practical issue of energy use. The arrangement of the kitchen and bathrooms in a stack means that they form a vertical thermal core, which can be isolated and heated when the house is closed in winter, to avoid both frozen pipes and excessive heating bills. Because of such measures, the tower House uses a third of the energy of a house of comparable size.With regard to cooling, Peter Gluck is quite adamant that 'we don't go to the country to be air-conditioned', and describes how the adaptation of an attic fan system used in traditional American houses was influential in their thinking. Air is heated through the glass in the stair enclosure and, by creating a difference in pressure, air from outside is drawn in through small awning windows or horizontally placed casement windows. At night, either an open hatch at the roof level or a fan positioned under the roofline draws warm air out of the building through the stack effect.

    Elevation offers many special - and often sublime - advantages. Living up high provides a feeling of openness and light, as well as a greater sense of space and freedom. But it also offers the temptation of a home that engages with a vista full of interest and promise. This is especially true of a fresh generation of rural tower houses. Like their urban cousins, they offer an enticing vantage point, yet are also belvederes with a powerful and intimate connection with their bucolic surroundings.

    • GLUCK+ Screens a Modern Great Camp
    Architect-led design build firm GLUCK+ designed the Lakeside Retreat in the Adirondack Mountains on an historic blueprint: the Great Camps, sprawling summer compounds built by vacationing families during the second half of the nineteenth century. "The clients wanted to hold events there, and to make a place where their kids--who were in college at the time--would want to spend time," said project manager Kathy Chang. "They wanted to create different ways of occupying the space." GLUCK+ carved the hilly wooded site into a series of semi-subterranean buildings, of which the two principal structures are the family house and the recreation building. These buildings are, in turn, distinguished by massive lake-facing glass facades, camouflaged by wooden screens designed to maximize both privacy and views.The project, explained Chang, "was really about sculpting in and out of the landscape, manipulating the ground plane." By using the existing site as a primary element of construction, the GLUCK+ team was able to accomplish two things. First, "it gave us a new level area for the clients to hang out outside," said Chang. "It provided a new way to occupy the site, because before there was no flat ground." Second, they were able to manipulate the program so that the mechanical spaces were tucked into the underground portions of the houses, making way for a transparent facade along the lakeside. "The fact that so much of the program is buried allowed us to build the glass facade, despite the energy requirements," said Chang.

    Modular-building boosters, including traditional owners, developers, contractors and designers maintain that off-site construction is faster, safer, leaner, greener, better quality and potentially less costly than site construction. But there is a big hitch, they caution: building teams are not likely to reach modular delivery's pot of gold unless they plan and execute the off-site strategy properly. And that is no simple proposition. "Everyone thinks it's a silver bullet," says Jeffrey M. Brown, the developer and general contractor for the Stack, a mostly factory-built seven-story residential building in Upper Manhattan that opened in May. "It really isn't unless you put the right ingredients in the bowl."

    • Despite Challenges, Developer of the Stack Thinks Modular Is the Way To Go
    It's not easy to be first. The team that built the seven-story Stack in Upper Manhattan, New York City's first steel-framed modular mid-rise building, knows that from experience. The developer of the 28-unit residential building—at 90.5 ft tall, the tallest completed modular building in the U.S.—bought the land in 2007, yet the first tenants moved in just this past May."There were a lot of pitfalls," says Peter Gluck, who wears several hats on the Stack. Gluck+ is the architect and design-builder, and Gluck is a minority partner in the development.It also took "a few years to figure out the best design" for the 150-ft-deep, 50-ft-wide lot, which is not an ideal dimension for an apartment building, says Jeffrey M. Brown, the building's co-developer, with Kim Frank, and general contractor, under the firm that bears his name.The solution was a U-in-plan shape that provides a 30-ft-sq courtyard, which offers more exposures. "The building is really two buildings connected by a corridor," says Brown.

    P47 Could you describe the approach of GLUCK+ and how it differs from the status quo of the profession?  TG Our attitude starts with a global perspective on where the profession has been, where it is right now, and where it's going. What's happened over time is that through trying to limit professional liability and reduce risk, the profession has also limited its own role and capacity to engage effectively.Sometimes we talk about architect-led design-build as a strategy to regain control over the building process, but "control" can conjure up a desire for complete power. The control we're interested in is instead the ability to follow the clients' interests and the conceptual underpinnings of a project through to completion. As the architect retreats back to an increasingly narrow realm of influence, he or she limits the ability to craft a building that truly serves the client and the urban, social, and economic contexts.

    New York City's first true modular apartment building--the Stack, erected in a mere nineteen days--opened recently in Manhattan's northernmost neighborhood of Inwood. It's a nice-looking building (designed by Peter Gluck), but the apartments are a more conventional mix of unit types, none of them micro. This is a promising development that should help diminish resistance to modular construction by those who know it only through its shabbiest and most unattractive examples. Isn't this a better idea than stuffing people into spaces that can only be inhabited by childless Zen masters and anal-retentives? Shouldn't the city be a place where the investigation is of how to produce choice and not compulsion?

    Every architect commissioned to design a mountain home that's sympathetic to its setting faces the same challenge: how to come to terms with the peak itself--the rock, the elevation, the climate, the slope, the vista. Despite the inevitable urge to triumph over topography by building at the summit, embracing a more modest accommodation can sometimes be a better path to achieving domestic bliss in the clouds.Consider the extraordinary house conceived by the New York–based architecture firm Gluck+ in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Situated well below the highest point on the property, at the edge of a sunken meadow ringed by trees and close to a precipice with a hundred-mile view to the bright lights of Charlotte, the residence strikes an elegant balance between exposure and protection, between high-altitude splendor and grounded repose. All of which was accomplished while adhering to environmental standards rigorous enough to earn the project a LEED Silver certification.

    Fact or fiction, it is a common perception that the design and construction process is plagued with problems: cost and schedule overruns, under-detailed design drawings, shoddy workmanship, disputes, and litigation. Some architects have been pursuing a remedy for this fraught situation--the project delivery method known as design-build. Until recently, most practitioners were reluctant to be too involved in construction. But that may be changing, with new approaches that make design-build a more viable alternative--one that gives the architect more control over the building process and the completed project.According to the professional association the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), "design-build is a method of project delivery in which one entity--the design-build team--works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services." (With the more standard approach--design-bid-build--the owner hires an architect and a contractor separately and holds a contract with each.)Fans of design-build tout its advantages. They say it provides the client with the convenience of a one-stop shop, or a single point of responsibility, for both design and construction. They maintain that it provides tight control of costs and schedules. And they claim it fosters greater collaboration, and therefore results in a less adversarial process, and ultimately produces higher-quality buildings.

    Much is going on in New York. The city is being transformed at a rapid pace. Large projects are being produced on available sites that require massive amounts of capital, over existing railroad yards, or huge former industrial sites, eg. Atlantic Yards or Trump Place. Deteriorating rail lines, waterfront piers of former times are being repurposed or converted to parks and public recreational areas, eg. Chelsea Piers, Highline, Brooklyn Bridge Park.Unfortunately a major element of change is being driven by "gentrification." Outmoded or decrepit buildings are being replaced. This phenomenon is effectively changing vast areas of the existing fabric. With little focus or scrutiny from the "design community," it is developer-driven and for the most part done without much thought. In major portions of the city, this will become the city of the future. Architectural thinking is seen as a luxury item not relevant to the real needs of the development process. Architects need to acquire multi-faceted knowledge and accept previously shunned responsibilities (to ensure the quality and cost of the built result) in order to change this perception, and merit participation.All players in the process of designing and building have retreated into ever shrinking silos of responsibility. The plus in GLUCK+ is meant to represent our impulse to go beyond; to break through silo walls to engage in facets of both thinking and making that have been avoided by architects. There are many needed pluses. With the addition of these pluses, architects can be the logical quarterbacks of the development game.

In addition, it profits from the earth's thermal mass to reduce heat exchange and, at the same time, it is also a device to create an interesting game of indoor/outdoor spaces. Without any outstanding architectonic outline, the architects designed it to look more like a glass pavilion in a garden, half buried, merging into the landscape as part of it.

    Completed in 2012, the Tower House is a striking and unexpected sculpture sitting in the forest, with a tall, vertical shaft climbing upwards and intersected at the fourth storey by a horizontal, cantilevered box holding the main living spaces, looking outwards to the mountains. Gluck, who started thinking about the design of the house back in 2003, built a full-scale scaffold tower on the site before starting construction, just to test that the idea would work and that the view would be open enough.It's one of a number of buildings on the property that has been in the family for many years. Peter Gluck, Thomas's father and a founding partner at what is now the architecture-led-design-build firm Gluck+, started with an 1820s cottage that he extended in the 1980s. Later he added a guesthouse, called the Bridge House, at the base of the forested plateau. There's also the Scholar's Library, a sublime study and book repository designed for Thomas's mother, Carol, who is a professor of history at Columbia University. The Tower House, which was designed and built by Gluck+, is the latest addition to the site.

    Like the rise of the nouveau riche, the dazzling state-of-the-art buildings touted by New York's newest schools can be viewed askance by some of the centuries-old institutions that rule the city's private-school scene.Their modest--to put it politely--facilities are badges of honor, their reputations rooted in intellect and character, they say, not cutting-edge cafeterias.So when Collegiate School--an all-boys K-12 institution on the Upper West Side that has been in its current location since 1892--announced this year it would move to a brand-new building in the same neighborhood, the reaction was, perhaps, predictable: apprehension.School officials gave the architects simple instructions: Make it nice, but not too nice."There is this pride in how limited the facilities are," said headmaster Lee Levison. "That we can have this kind of building yet generate some of the most creative and thoughtful and talented high school graduates in the country. It wasn't a function of having a shiny new building."

    Gluck, a principal at Manhattan-based architecture firm GLUCK+, wanted to build a home that took full advantage of the view while limiting the impact on nature. He and his team of architects realized in order to do that, they'd have to totally reverse the way family-centric homes are traditionally laid out. Instead of building the family rooms on the ground floor and bedrooms upstairs, Gluck designed a vertical core of three bedrooms stacked on top of each other that supports a living/dining room cantilevered 30 feet from the forest floor. A bright yellow staircase leads from the house's base, up through the bedrooms to an observation deck-like communal space that rises above the tree line.

    Houses embedded in the earth are becoming a specialty of GLUCK+, the New York architect-led design-build firm formerly known as Peter Gluck and Partners. The reasons are compelling--the grass roofs reduce energy loads and their low profile doesn't impinge on the natural landscape. In the case of a 2,850-square-foot guesthouse in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the clients...

    The neutral colors and materials that camouflage the house are interrupted by the distinct yellow hue of the staircase -- a part of the house Gluck says should be embraced.  Just as the ladder is the entrance to the tree house, so the staircase is part of the conceptual experience of being up in the trees.  "There is a playfulness to the thing, that you are going to walk up four or five flights of staircases on your relaxing weekend, so we painted the stairs yellow to highlight that sudden exposure," Gluck says.

    • Prefabricating Buildings Offsite, Then Installing Them In Location: Is There A Real Renaissance?
    In New York's Inwood neighborhood, workers are busy stacking together weighty prebuilt modules made in Pennsylvania, as they piece together one of the city's latest and more notable residential complexes built almost entirely offsite. Prefabricated construction, as it's technically known, is constructing a building away from its ultimate location. Developers and architects increasingly look to the technique as a way to save time and money, even as they try to shake off the technique's negative associations. In the case of Inwood, project principals at the 28-apartment complex dubbed "The Stack" point out that construction should take only 10 months from start to finish, down from the 16 months they would project for traditional construction.

    Despite the touted economy of off-site, prefabricated housing, the building methodology has made limited inroads in New York, stunted for decades by a wary local bureaucracy and a public that seemed to prefer flashy one-off condominiums. Following a 2008 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, however, interest in the potential that prefab offers for the dense urban environment was renewed. That interest only grew more urgent after Hurricane Sandy devastated parts of New York in 2012, leading officials to reexamine prefab prototype disaster-housing schemes.

    • Modular apartment building rises in 19 days
    Nineteen days. That is all the time it took to put up a 28-unit, six-story apartment building in the Inwood section of Manhattan this summer.  The secret? Modular construction.  Working Monday through Friday from June 20 to July 18, a crew of just eight iron workers, a crane operator, and half-a-dozen helpers installed the 56 modules that make up the apartment building at 4857 Broadway. In a bow to the property's innovative construction technique, the building is to be known as The Stack. It was created by a partnership of developer/builder Jeffrey M. Brown Associates and GLUCK+ architects.  "We're now done stacking," said Peter Gluck, principal at GLUCK+. "Building any building is a nightmare, but this was not a nightmare. Given that this is the first one we've ever done, this went amazingly smoothly."

    By the end of the summer, uptowners can live in a Lego house: the city's first concrete and steel, multi-story prefabricated building.  Broadway Stack is a 28-unit moderate-income apartment complex built with 56 prefabricated modules. The modules were assembled off-site in a former subway car factory and then shipped to Inwood, where they are being stacked to form a seven-story tower.  "It's an exciting alternative method of construction," said Stack's architect Peter Gluck. "As the country urbanizes there is more and more need for modern and low-cost housing, and this one response."

    "It's really exciting," Gluck, principal of GLUCK+ architects, says, as the building blocks are hoisted overhead. Standing at the edge of the lot, we discussed the history of modular and prefabrication building methods, and why they are again relevant. "This is all about urbanization, the moving back to the cities," the architect tells Co.Design. "Now the technology and the methods for doing it have evolved."  Gluck's generation of architects was reared in the shadow of the late modernists, whose oversize urban panaceas and all-encompassing treatises they'd begun to aggressively critique. An inclination toward viewing architecture less as an art form and more as a high-tech solution to society's problems marked a shift in thinking for Gluck and his professional peers.

    New York City's first multi-unit modular residential building was unveiled to the public last week in northern Manhattan. Pre-fab steel and concrete modules were hoisted atop one another by crane for the $13 million project named The Stack -- in a nod to its innovative design -- a seven-story, 28-unit residential building at 4857 Broadway. The 28-unit rental building is expected to be completed in September when the apartments will be leased by a team from Douglas Elliman and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank will handle marketing of the retail space at the base of the building.

    On Thursday contractors plan to top out a seven-story, 28-unit apartment building known as the Stack on an infill site in Upper Manhattan. The event would be unremarkable, except that four weeks ago, the only part of the structure that had been erected on the 50-foot-wide by 150-foot-long lot was the first floor framing. Now it is completely enclosed, and has its interior partitions as well as plumbing fixtures, countertops, doors, and hardware--even the toilet paper dispensers have been installed. The Stack, designed by architecture firm GLUCK+ (formerly Peter Gluck and Partners), has gone up so quickly because it is composed of 56 steel-and-concrete modules built in a factory in Berwick, Pennsylvania. These components, which make up the studio, one-, two-, and three- bedroom apartments, have been trucked to the site with all interior finishes in place and stacked by crane at the rate of about four per day since June 19.

The Stack, a seven-story moderate-income residential project by GLUCK+ architects, champions an exciting modular building method, one with a rich heritage but that has too rarely been implemented.  The 50-foot-wide, 150-foot-deep lot is sprinkled with a few cranes and what look like trailers but are actually building modules. From across the street, pedestrians stop in their tracks as each of the 45-foot-long oblongs seemingly takes flight.

    Jury: "Whimsical. Delightful. A mini-house on steroids that recalls a forest ranger's watchtower. It shows the optimism of an architect. Keep the trees!" Designed as a stairway to the treetops, this 2,545-square-foot vacation house, owned by a principal of the firm, occupies a minimal footprint so as not to disturb its wooded site. Dark green, back-painted glass of the rainscreen wall cladding camouflages the house by reflecting the surrounding woods. The tower is a glass-enclosed stair that ascends from the forest floor to a treetop aerie connecting all levels of the building up to a rooftop terrace. The south-facing stair creates a solar chimney- as heated air rises, it is exhausted out the top, and fresh air enters the house from the cooler north side. Spreading out from the top of the stair is the main living space, cantilevered 30 feet from the ground.

    • A Skyscraper-Style Treehouse With Soaring Mountain Views
    Architects like wordplay. It's a fun and effective way to condense the main thesis behind a project without resorting to archi-speak. It's also a good bit of marketing. A simple subversion like "horizontal skyscraper" immediately makes a potentially interesting (or uninteresting) project that much more compelling. Another example: the Tower House. Designed by GLUCK+ architects, the Tower House looks exactly like it sounds--that is, it takes the form of a skyscraper and shrinks it down to the scale of a house. The four-story-high-building is configured to resemble Lego blocks, an analogy that extends to the house's bright yellow and green color scheme. A vertical bar, the "tower," is bisected at its summit by a wide horizontal volume, which appears to conquer gravity with the most minimal of supports.

    An increasing desire to house visiting friends and family in privacy has given rise to striking stand-alone spaces that double as anything from a pool house to a music room. Dominic Bradbury reports on a forward-looking generation of guest lodges. One of the great pleasures of having a beautifully designed home is sharing it with others, and in an age when friends and family are often spread far and wide, entertaining house guests has attained a special level of importance. Small wonder, then, that architects and their clients are approaching the business of creating inviting spaces for visiting friends and family with new enthusiasm and a fresh eye. And hence the rise of an ambitious generation of guest lodges: self-contained retreats set apart from main residences which have a sense of delight all of their own.

    On Monday night, a crowd of 200 assembled at a construction site in Harlem for the first panel in a series called "Changing Architecture." The discussion, moderated by Metropolis editor-in-chief Susan S. Szenasy, focused on the need for architects to develop a wider skill set that will enable them to take a more involved role in the building process of their projects. Among the evening's panelists was Peter Gluck, founder and principal at the firm Gluck+. He is a strong believer in architects getting their hands dirty at the construction site, working with communities, and being held responsible for a project coming in on budget.  He remarked that "Architectural thinking is seen as a luxury item not relevant to the real needs of the development process...Architects need to acquire multi-faceted knowledge and accept previously shunned responsibilities in order to change this perception."

    There exists a long tradition of architects designing houses for themselves, many of them becoming historically notable works of architecture because of experimentation, a mix of living and working spaces, and an obviously unique architect-client relationship. Think of Frank Lloyd Wright's Home and Studio in Oak Park and his Taliesin estates in Wisconsin and Arizona; Alvar Aalto's house in Helsinki; Walter Gropius's house ten miles from Harvard; the Charles and Ray Eames House in California; Luis Barragán's House and Studio outside Mexico City; Frank Gehry's exploded bungalow in Santa Monica. The list of architects and houses goes on, with pre-20th-century examples found in Thomas Jefferson's plantation home at Monticello and Sir John Soane's house-museum in London, to name just two.

    A Stairway to the Treetops: A chameleonlike house--which changes with the seasons and throughout the day--provides a perch for total immersion in the surrounding woods. Architecture need not always be serious. And nowhere is lightheartedness more fitting than in a vacation house. One such playful example is the Tower House--a 2,500-square-foot structure on a sloping, wooded site in Ulster County, New York, about 100 miles north of Manhattan. Designed by New York City--based Gluck+ as the mountain retreat for one of the firm's principals, Thomas Gluck; his wife, Anne Langston; and their two children, the house resembles a cross between a Modernist skyscraper and a tree house. It is completely glass-clad and has three bedrooms and adjoining baths stacked one on top of the other to support a living and dining room cantilevered 30 feet from the ground. A switchback stair, with bright-yellow treads and risers, connects all four levels and leads to a rooftop deck. The goal, says Gluck, was to create an aerie within the trees and take advantage of views of nearby Catskill Park, a vast state forest preserve.

    A vacant lot on Broadway between Academy and 204th Streets in Inwood is littered with rubble and concrete pilings. But in a matter of weeks, this 50-foot-wide sand pit will be transformed into a seven-story apartment building, with finished bathrooms, maple cabinetry and 10 terraces. It is not a magic trick, but rather the result of modular, or prefabricated, construction. A technique in which a building is manufactured piecemeal on a factory assembly line, trucked to the construction site and erected much the way Legos are, modular construction is gaining popularity across New York City.

The first floor of this forest library houses the main book stacks and remains completely closed to the outdoors. On the second floor, the structure opens up to let in light and views for a scholar's working study. The structure expresses this dual character, with the floating roof cantilevered off the second floor to highlight the distinction between solid and void. The windows open on all four sides, to produce a light and airy feeling.

They produced one of the city's best designs of the period, an accommodating 110-foot-high midrise. The Old City Civic Association loved it, but the market collapsed before it was built.

    All houses have a story. This house has a saga. Call it the Three Ages of Architecture: modern, postmodern, and contemporary. The end result is a 4,600-square-foot house with six bedrooms, a home office, and a playroom, its upper story cantilevered over a picturesque Westchester County ravine. In the summer, from the road, the house seems to float in the trees—unlike its hulking neighbors. But it took the work of two sets of determined architects, first in 1958 and then in 2010, to make it look this easy.

    Homes are constantly borrowing bright ideas from luxury hotels. There’s the super-indulgent bathroom, the home spa and the sophisticated bedroom that feels generous and seductive enough to double as an extra sitting room and a private retreat. Add also the notion of a tempting indoor pool that can be used all year round and happens to be beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed. No wonder, then, that the architect-designed pool house is enjoying a period of high demand, expressed in a series of fresh, innovative and highly individual buildings.

    Palatial houses can be surprisingly modest. At least, that’s the philosophy of Peter Gluck, an acclaimed modernist who has spent the past 38 years creating extraordinary residences that make as little impact on the land as possible. One is featured in the April issue of Architectural Digest: A glass-walled house Peter Gluck and Partners, Architects designed for clients in Illinois, complete with a basketball court, spa, garage,…

    Neighboring estates in this suburb of Chicago often announce their presence with showy turrets or columned façades, but Cascade House, a lakeside residence designed by New York architecture firm Peter Gluck and Partners, makes a more discreet impression. From its front drive, all one sees is a stack of two glass boxes: one transparent, one translucent. The rest of this home—true to its name—drops out of view, gently terracing down toward the waters of Lake Michigan.

    Gluck is concerned that the word "responsible" has become a synonym for something good. "Responsible just means taking the least amount of time and risk," he says. "With this approach, the cost is often so far beyond the project's actual value that in the end, the project is irresponsible." Since 1972, [the firm] has worked directly with the variables of time and risk. From conception to closeout, these designers provide cutting-edge architectural solutions without the cost overruns typical of a multiple-source construction approach.

    According to architect Peter Gluck, the traditional method of designing and constructing buildings is inherently flawed: architects don’t know how to build and contractors don’t understand design. So when Gluck started his architecture firm, Peter Gluck and Partners, he did so with the goal of fixing this broken process. “When architects construct buildings, it’s common knowledge that there are problems; they take too long to build, they leak, they’re over budget. But we really understand construction,” Gluck says….

    Ivan Hageman wasn’t sold on the design. He feared anything modern. He didn’t like the method the architect was pushing—design-build, in which a single firm stewards everything from the first conceptual drawing to the last layer of paint. It seemed foreign and vaguely suspect. And above all, he thought that the architect, Peter Gluck, was a bit of a jerk. “Peter was somewhat loutish, somewhat rude, somewhat devil-may-care: ‘Either you’re going to go with me or not,’” Hageman says in his second-floor office, which overlooks, like a happy panopticon, the street outside the private school he helms. Recalling their first meeting, in 2004, with the school’s board of trustees, he says, “At the end of the meeting … the chair of the board said, ‘I agree with you, Ivan. He does seem kind of difficult. He reminds me of someone you’ve worked closely with over the years.’ I said, ‘Who?’ She said, ‘You.’”

    • East Harlem School: Contemporary Design, at a Bargain Price
    Maybe the biggest reason why more builders don't hire contemporary architects is that, in addition to the up front design fees, your typical design visionary is bound to plow straight through the construction budget, and then some. But not always. Recently, Peter L. Gluck & Partners completed a new building for the East Harlem School, a charter school in Harlem. By acting as both the designer and the construction manager, they were able to deliver the building below budget, at a cost of $330 a square foot (which is very low, at least for New York). At the end, they even returned $500,000 in unspent contingencies--that is, the money budgeted for inevitable construction screw-ups.

    The sceptic, if he or she does his or her job correctly, is critical to the productive evolution of any movement, and as we embark on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) revolution, it is worth asking a few questions. We embrace the promise of BIM-- born from the notion of collaboration between disciplines and the integration of design-- and recognize it as a paradigm shift in an industry that has spent too much of the past century trying to separate consultants on the same design team, to clarify liability and to shed responsibility.

    Despite the financial crisis and the housing slump, the phone is still ringing in Peter Gluck's office. "We're OK for now," says Mr. Gluck, whose office of 50 architects specializes in high-end residences costing $5 million and up. That may be explained by the fact that Mr. Gluck and his associates aren't just architects for their homes. They're the general contractors as well, unlocking gates in the morning and stepping onto scaffolds to direct construction.

    Peter Gluck has a problem with the AIA. He has a problem with architectural education too. Really he has a problem with the whole profession of architecture as it is currently practiced. Economic exploitation of youth. Big ideas in service of the highest bidder. Callow young CAD monkeys trained in archispeak. Designers who don’t know how to build. Engineers rescuing forms untethered from reality. He doesn’t seem like an angry person: he’s a sort of laid-back father figure with a gentle demeanor who appears to relish his work. But don’t get him started on the irresponsibility of architects and the way the profession is practiced. Or do get him started: you might learn something.

    "I wanted to build a barn," says Richard Yulman, the client for the Inverted Guest House in Lake George, New York. "Just a country barn where we could park cars and put stuff in the winter." What started as a simple shed kind of project, though, became a 5,600-square-foot building that features a pair of two-bedroom guest apartments on either side of an eight-car garage. With its rugged-yet-elegant copper cladding and flat roofs, it looks like no barn. But its industrial materials capture the utilitarian spirit of rural buildings, and its large, folding doors and shutters connect it to the light and views of its wooded site.

In the working environment of that project, the tensions between his architectural firm, Peter Gluck & Partners, and the general contractor were so high that the construction dragged on for what seemed like forever. Inefficiencies abounded. As he concludes his story, his son, Thomas, another architect at the firm, comes by with a dustydesign plan that falls heavily on the table where he drops it.

    Throughout his 34-year career, New York-based architect Peter L. Gluck has remained steadfastly Modernist, creating houses with an acute awareness of time and context while eschewing sentimentality or any reference to tradition. His design approach is governed by "the ongoing and evolving set of principles and impulses inherent to Modernism," and his projects are characterized by clean geometric lines, sculptural elements and respect for light, serenity and individuality. If Gluck's houses possess a certain Japanese sensibility, it is no accident. After graduating from Yale School of Architecture, he spent two years in Japan acting as a consultant for a local construction company.

The forms of the house consist of a box, a stainless steel stucture on which the box is perched, transparent glass encolusre, and a plinth. Significant portions of the program are located below grade to prevent the size of the house from drawing attention away from the landscape. The guest bedrooms, media room, and gallery are located within the buried plinth. In addition, the garage is underground to keep the precinct of trees free of distracting automobiles and black top.

The 20-by-20-by-20-foot building, solit at its base and translucent above, offers sliding glass doors in place of windows, allowing its occupants to experience a completely open environment.

Gluck experiences an architectural awakening in which Louis Kahn, Alvar Aalto and "contemporary Swiss and Dutch architects" would become his "heroes." He later incorporated Japanese sensibilities that carry over into what he described as a "contextual modernism," replete with sculptural elements, unflinchingly sleek geometries and attention to detail, craft and light. Gluck formed his own firm 32 years ago and derives satisfaction from designing and building museums and affordable housing. Nonetheless, he takes on a number of residential commitments every year and is now working on houses in California

"In this endeavor, we act as construction managers by actually building most of our projects." These range from houses across the United States for people "interested in real architecture" to multiuse building in New York's East Harlem and a 50,000-square-food community center in the South Bronx. The Yale-educated architect opened his firm in 1972, after spending two years in Japan.

    Peter L. Gluck gave his modern addition to an 18th-century New York farmhouse the character of utility farm structures pieced together over time. "The context demanded that the existing house remain prominent in the composition without inhibiting the sculptural possibilities of the new structure," the architect says, "I chose not to miniaturize the original but to enhance it by contrast." It seems, at first, to be altogether wrong, this sprawling modernist addition of stone, glass and metal on a delicate Federal-style farmhouse. Some kind of demonstration project in architectural insensitivity, you wonder? Why would any thoughtful do such a thing to a graceful eighteenth-century house?

It shows how to accomodate a unified group of people's differing needs in a single location. "We spent a lot of time rethinking how we live," says Gluck, talking about the maturing family's increasingly diversified pursuits and habits, not to mention its widening circle of friends and acquaintances. Their traditional little farmhouse in new York's rural Catskill Mountains, which had served well for 20 years, had begun to burst at the seams wityh too many activities and people.

    • Modifying Mies
    In augmenting an International Style house in Connecticut designed by Mies van der Rohe in 1955, architect Peter Gluck was forced to confront a vision of architectural purity. Gluck did two additions - a pool with two pavilions and, later, a bedroom wing connected to the house. Few archtiectural problems are as vexing as adding to a building by Mies van der Rohe. First, any Mies building by definition possess the status of a historic artifact, protected by an ethical presumption if not by a legal requirement that any future architect tread lightly. But the nature of Mies's architecture leaves almost no room for anyone else anyway. How do you expand a glass box that aspires to Platonic perfection?

    It was the kind of classic design problem we all thought only our design professors fiendish enough to devise. All that would be required to strike terror and paralysis into the heart of a prospective architect/designer in the imperative "Add to an existing house by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe." The rest of the program could say just about anything; God has left the details for later. Originally designed in 1955, the house in lower Connecticut was built for the brother of Mies's client for the renowned Lake Shore Drive apartments. Its fenestration and glazing echo those apartment towers and, in fact, the house even used materials lft over from the Chicago projects. This was a forgotten Mies, however, having

His client was the brother of a Chicago developer who had commissioned Mies' great apartment project on Lake Shore Drive. Family ties did not end here. The little house incorporated into its facades the same pattern of mullion and glass used in the Chicago apartments - suburbanized with a coat of white paint - and even used surplus materials from the Chicago job site.

    The design of an architect's home can present a special challenge. When building for himself, there is an implicit desire to make a statement, a signature. Because the project is so personal, the presumption grows that it must reveal the designer's innermost musings, not simply about house design, but about the condition of architecture, as well. Often this leads to self-consciousness or attempts at a perfection impossible to achieve. Other times, the error
