London Residence An existing masonry four-flat walk-up was stripped to the brick and a 23’ steel framed addition was designed on to maximize total square footage. The existing and new portions of the project are articulated through a light well which pinches the floor plan and encouraged light to reach the lowest level. A structural and functional metal grate which is filled with clear resin further allows light to penetrate deeper into the house.

The design of the house is clean and linear, taking full advantage of the 24’x125’ lot. The first floor is an open plan space with a living room, dining room and kitchen. The powder room acts as an object resting within and dividing the open space. The material palette is minimal and used to visually connect the four different levels.

Mian An intimate, jewel-like Chinese noodle shop, mian is a world unto itself of red glass tiles and natural reeds, designed according to feng-shui principles and coyly tucked behind a bronze screen. Chinese coins inserted into the countertop offer the rush of discovery for attentive guests. Globular lanterns glow from above the screen even afterhours.

Luxury Motors O'Hare Concept Luxury Motors O'Hare is the headquarters for the Luxury Motors Auto Dealership.

The tube lounge acts as an office and client lounge space as well as an event space.

Porsche - Museum Concept The Porsche concept design was an exercise in creating a program and space in which museum and dealership seamlessly interact within a single enclosed space. The building contains open multi-level areas which interact with each other at strategic points through shared sight-lines. The use of transparent and semi-transparent materials reinforces public and private space interactions. The past present and future of Porsche exist side by side and at times can be experienced simultaneously.

Rochester - Midtown Athletic Club The existing fitness was repurposed to a quiet pilates, yoga and aerobics studio. The rooms were approached with the idea of one large space, divided by millwork and stone pieces that provided storage for patrons to store gym shoes and bags, as well as their personal mats. This was enhanced through the extensive use of glass walls, doors and transoms above the millwork and stone pieces.
