Asharoken House Project

Beginner

Asharoken House Project

Start

The Asharoken House is a 3 story, single-family home located in Northport, NY on Long Island. The site is located on a sand bar overlooking Northport Bay and the site's flat landscape is prone to flooding during severe weather conditions. The home is designed to fit within the fabric of the surrounding neighborhood, where most lots are long and narrow, and the building materials align with a coastal motif.

The project includes a comprehensive 3D BIM model with various elements, such as stories and site details like site modifiers, hardscapes, and other site-specific features, interior furnishings like furniture, countertops, cabinets, and light fixtures, organized by style. Traditional building objects, like walls, windows, doors, and more are organized by styles for consistency.
