In the renovation of a landmarked townhouse in the Clinton Hill area of Brooklyn, the house’s extensive historic detail is offset with modern insertions, some which take the house’s deep, curvilinear forms as the basis for the new elements. With minimal, crisp geometries denoting areas of change, the house retains a record of its historic condition.

Situated in a landmarked Tribeca loft building, the new US headquarters for British clothing brand maharishi is both a showroom and distribution hub. A kind of building-within-a-building, the project preserves the space’s details by placing the new shop inside the historic interior, floating within it. A grid of cabinetry defines the insertion, marking out two levels: halfway through the space, a mezzanine levitates above the shop, creating another, more intimate room.

An installation for the exhibition Architecture Books - Yet to Be Written at Storefront for Art and Architecture, Storefront Library is the anchor program for the New York Architecture Book Fair. By extending the gallery’s iconic rotating facade panels into bookshelves that pierce the public space of the sidewalk, the project sets the stage for an exhibition shaped by public participation and dialogue. 

Projecting fins make gallery walls deep, fuzzy, creating niches of information. Shifting color draws movement to animate an exhibit on active design.
