Young Projects Designs Houses From Digital Models That Artisans Change by Hand

Young Projects, the Brooklyn studio Bryan Young founded in 2010 alongside Mallory Shure, treats fabrication and experiment as central to design. Work that starts as a digital inquiry often changes once it reaches an artisan's hands, and the studio welcomes the happy accidents. Laura Feinstein walks through the results: the Six Square House in Bridgehampton, which reimagines a 19th-century Hamptons barn type as six gabled 24-by-24-foot volumes around a courtyard; Casa las Olas in the Dominican Republic, roofed with 160 uniquely shaped scissor trusses; and its guest structure, the Glitch House, clad in more than 10,000 handmade encaustic cement tiles.
