This project involved the building expansion of the offices of a mining and rock processing company, as well as the full configuration of the interior structure of its product showroom. The total area of the project covers 3,000 sq.m. and its construction took place from 2020 to 2023. The architectural composition has relied on the reinterpretation of the realm of the Company's quarries through the feeling of hovering at the intercept of the rocky terrain and the absolute sense of freedom of the landscape route. Karen Gkiounasian Karen Gkiounasian Hovering is achieved through the interpenetration of the intermediate level bridge at the junction of the two curved spatial surfaces, made of metal elements on which the exhibits are p...

Glass art installation represents the outline of the relics of the Palatium of Mieszko I and his wife Dobrawa in Ostrów Tumski in Poznań, the first Piast dynasty building dating back over 1000 years.

Located in the heart of the Greenwich Village historic district in New York City, this project called for the complete renovation of a five- story, 1830’s townhouse. The historic Federal Style façade was carefully preserved during construction, as were a majority of the existing interior floor plates. Behind this masonry face we created a new world centered around light, space, openness, and revelation. New apertures through floors and ceilings channel natural light from the skylight down to the lowest level.   To extend the experience out to the garden and up to the sky, a dramatic four- story wall of glass envelops the back of the house, joining the interior to nature through views out to the rear garden and the existi...
