Student Accomodation Schönaugürtel
Customized livingThe property is on the edge of the Gründerzeit development in the Jakomini district to the south of Augarten. Characteristic features of this development are perimeter blocks with green and quiet inner courtyards and a homogeneous, imposing appearance on the street side. For the representative front of the building facing Schönaugürtel, a sculptural façade projecting forwards and backwards was envisaged, which guides individual views to the East and the West.

Project • By Spacesmith • Community Centres
Staten Island Family Justice Center
As part of our on-call contract with the NYC Department of Design and Construction’s Design Excellence Program, Spacesmith completed the new Staten Island Family Justice Center, a program of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence. This 10,000 sf center, with wide-ranging, multilingual services offered in one location to victims of domestic violence, is the last of five to be completed in each borough. The goal was to create a welcoming, calming environment for those seeking help and a comfortable, efficient workplace for employees.
