As someone who can never say no to a new challenge Frank Cunha III, AIA, worked with Greater Greens, LLC to help figure out some building details to design and construct a new head house for their new greenhouse. Since the greenhouse was designed off-site and shipped as a kit of parts, I worked with the agricultural company and the local building department to work out the details to meet the code requirements for this agricultural project. Although the entire process was new to me it helped me stretch my current design skills and helped me learn about a whole new industry that promotes sustainable farming practices while serving the local community with healthy ingredients.

Family Owned and Operated Establishment

Greater Greens, LLC uses two organic farming practices on their farm and they are extremely committed to sustainably producing clean nutrient rich food. They utilize aquaponics which creates a symbiotic relationship between fish and plants, where each can mutually grow and thrive. They also use their bio-intensive farming practices to mimic nature and promote healthy soil which means nutrient packed produce for their customers.

New Project by @FC3Architect is Almost 100% Completed (Teaneck, NJ) #BeforeAndAfter #CustomResidential #Home

One of the things we enjoy doing is: Helping People Make Their Dreams Come True!!! Here is another example of a successful transformation we helped imagine for the homeowners.

One of our projects is nearly completed. We more than doubled the size of the existing residence by creating a dynamic link that opens up the garden into the home with a connecting link. This “knuckle” becomes a link from the old home (which serves as the existing den and existing kitchen on the lower level) to the new home which includes a new dining area and family room. Upstairs, the addition boasts a master suite allowing us to increase the size of the existing bedrooms. Click here to read the original post about this project.

NEW @FC3ARCHITECT RESIDENCE ON THE BOARDS – From Cape Cod to Center Hall Colonial

Posted: October 15, 2018 | Author: Frank Cunha III | Filed under: Architecture, More FC3, My Firm | Tags: 3-D, Autodesk REVIT, Cape Cod, Center Hall Colonial, Conceptual, custom home, Custom Residence, FC3, FC3 Architecture, home, New Jersey, Renderings, Residence, revit | Leave a comment

The latest designs for this new expanded home consist of a modern spin on a center hall colonial. We achieve this by expanding the existing cape cod residence on the right side and the rear of the home. New master bedroom suite and bedrooms are on the new second floor. The new addition allows us to re-position the stairs to create a center hall. The front of the home remains traditional with formal living and dining spaces on each side of the hall. Access to the great room and new kitchen is provided through pocket doors. The new kitchen will boost a built in breakfast nook and double-island design while the great room boosts a gas-fired fireplace.

NEW @FC3ARCHITECT RESIDENCE ON THE BOARDS – From Plain Saltbox to Mediterranean-Style Residence

Posted: October 15, 2018 | Author: Frank Cunha III | Filed under: Architecture, More FC3, My Firm | Tags: Architect, custom home, Custom Residence, Design, Design Architect, FC3, FC3 Architecture, home, House, Luxury Home, Mediterranean, Mediterranean-Style Residence, New Jersey, Residence, Saltbox, Tuscan Home, Tuscan Residence | Leave a comment

The latest designs for this new expanded home consist of a modern spin on a Mediterranean-style county home with spanish tile roof. We achieve this by expanding the existing two-story home to the left of the existing garage and the the entrance of the existing home. Updated second floor layouts allow for outdoor living space over the new garage addition. The new front addition boosts a new curved staircase connecting the main level living space with the bedroom spaces above. A new foyer and dining room is created reusing existing rooms in the house. The interior will elaborate on the theme by integrating curved archways and stone details. The front facade was designed with order in mind – arches and columns provide rhythm and elegance for this new home. The client opted for cast iron railings both inside and outside.
