When we first visited the site, we knew Nishiki should feel different from a typical suburban Japanese restaurant. Instead of recreating a traditional izakaya, we wanted to create an atmosphere that felt contemporary, warm, and memorable while still respecting Japanese culture.

Surprisingly, its inspiration came from something very ordinary — stacks of lumber commonly seen on construction sites. We were fascinated by the rhythm created by seemingly random timber pieces, and transformed that observati... More

Valentina Vagena   "The design of a space has a significant impact on the way we experience our lives," says architect Constantine Bouras, who designed a residential space for a newly-wed couple in a 120-square-meter apartment in Nea Smyrni. Valentina Vagena The main focus of the design was the creation of an atmosphere of balance and tranquility, which was achieved both through the design of the spaces and the selection of calm colors on walls, floors, millwork, countertops and kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, furniture fabrics and objects. The art pieces have also been placed in such a way in order to achieve visual harmony. Shades which filter the light that enters this fifth-floor apartment were installed in all the... More

This midcentury modern-inspired Riverside Drive Apartment is a combined 2,500-square-foot apartment. It is designed as a home for a family of five that would continue to accommodate the children as they grow older. The apartment renovation transformed the space by relocating the entrance and creating a generous foyer adjacent to the new enlarged kitchen. Alan Tansey Alan Tansey Alan Tansey The former entry area was converted into a family room den, which became the favorite space for the family to hang out, play video games and watch TV. Black steel bi-fold doors with fluted glass offer subtle privacy and allow natural light from the living room windows to filter into the room. Alan Tansey Alan Tansey Alan... More

This minimalist one-bedroom apartment is a pied-à-terre for a couple who split their time between New York and Florida. Prior to the renovation, the apartment was dark, despite four west-facing windows along Central Park, so a primary goal was to make the space feel lighter and brighter. Conceptually, millwork volumes - rather than conventional partitions - read as floating objects while delineating the different spaces. This helps stretch the perception of space to the apartment’s perimeter walls. The living and bedroom spaces flow into one another, and when privacy is needed, hidden pocket doors recessed in the pantry volume can be closed. Resolution: 4 Architecture The owners did not need a full kitchen, as they typica... More

The project develops through a central band that contains all the service spaces (entrance, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, corridor), separating the large living room from the kitchen. Simone Furiosi The central element has been covered in canaletto walnut wood and with its resin flooring creates an element of detachment between the parquet in the living room and in the bedrooms. Simone Furiosi The large living area winds through a monolithic element that permeates the space but which can become a separator element to create a study Simone Furiosi The bathrooms are treated as a project within the project: the bathroom with the bathtub was developed to bring out the Gris du marais marble cladding; in the ensuite bathroom, on t...

It all started with a pendant light found in an exhibition in Paris. Named the New Old Light, it mixes eastern and western styles, old and modern aesthetics and encapsulated a lot of the ideals for a young Asian American couple as they started their new home. This concept of the New Old extended beyond the light and became a central tenet to the renovation once the couple moved back to this space as a family with twins.   Mariko Reed The project was a small renovation of kitchen and living room in a 1,000-square-foot condo to accommodate the young family. The renovation included new floors, lighting, kitchen cabinetry, custom millwork and ceramic dinnerware for the space. Mariko Reed The kitchen island design was inspi... More

Set within the exclusive mountainside community of Starwood, just minutes from downtown Aspen, Barn Studio is part of a family compound that will eventually include five or more distinct dwellings. A goal for the project was to embrace the unique features of the existing structure, including a singular rogue shape and formidable stone exteriors, while updating it with contemporary finishes and furnishings.   In addition to Barn Studio, R+B is providing both architecture and interior design services for the entire grouping of buildings. The goal is that each has a separate identity, yet all work together to form a cohesive whole that speaks to the site’s history.   The natural beauty of the site, along with the heritage o... More
