Karafarin Bank

At our first encounter with the site, the unusual proportions of this rather small piece of ground caught our attention. This irregular geometry together with the remaining marks of an old construction, including the outline of an old villa and a ramp, were the last signs of what once was there. Still visible on the walls, the vestige of the old house felt like a chalk outline drawn at a crime scene, preserving the last trace of the victim’s presence in the world. The evidence suggested that this villa was one of the last survivors of its kind in the Shemiran region.  Parham Taghioff We got curious about the probability of summoning that old house to the site by means of a new architecture, and through making a reference bo...

CNB

The new CNB Corporate offices in Melville, New York, reflect the new image of banking today. Efficient, modern and most importantly, customer-oriented, the design results had to accomplish these tasks and more in this 8,200 SF facility. Although the reception area has a very corporate feeling, the conference center and corridor in view of the reception area to the back workspaces is very modern and creative, toning down the corporate entrance. We opened up all the conference rooms to this corridor so customers and employees were always part of the ongoing activities doing away with the image of closed-door banking. More
