Carroll Gardens Brownstone

Located on one of the defining residential streets of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, this renovation of an 1899 brownstone by DEMO Architects reworks a historic townhouse around the needs of contemporary family life. Rather than a cosmetic restoration, the intervention reorganises the building through a series of architectural and environmental upgrades that improve flexibility, energy performance, and long-term comfort. At the same time, it retains the character and spatial continuity of the original structure. Stephan Alessi Stephan Alessi At the centre of the redesign is a planning strategy based on consolidation. Each floor is organised around a central service core containing storage, stairs, and utilities. By concentrating thes... More

A solid white form slides underneath the trellis. The forms sit several feet above the courts, providing seating along the courtside for spectators. More

Pond House

Pond House is part of a large estate on Long Island directly adjacent to Mecox Bay. This house is the third piece which acts as the sole contemporary addition to the estate. Two simple gable-shaped volumes of glass are shrouded in horizontal western red cedar wood slats, providing a delicate, layered interior experience while alluding to traditional barn forms in the region. Paúl Rivera Paúl Rivera The two primary sections of the house create a dialogue between public and private life: the southern form for cooking, relaxing, and poolside dining, and the northern form for more intimate bedroom and bathing spaces. Within the double-height great room, a perfect rectangular form is a visual and spatial contrast that se... More

Manhattan Condominium

This project in New York, was to overhaul a dated apartment and create a bright and more spacious feeling living space, making the most of views to Central Park and 56th Street.

A Snaidero customised kitchen was designed around services which could not be moved. Caulfield Wright Architects Now, the kitchen island has views to Central Park. Another dividing wall between two rooms was removed and replaced with a folding screen wall to make the most of the exceptional views. In the master bedroom, new wardrobes by Polyform ha... More

Pinterest NYC

Pinterest's NYC offices (PINYC) are located on two floors of a building across the street from the New York Public Library on 5th Ave – a fortuitous adjacency, as the NYPL’s Picture Library (a catalogued repository of photos) was an initial inspiration for Pinterest for one of the founders. Bruce Damonte The workspace design takes cues from the recently revised Pinterest website – clean, clear and simple.  The program includes: open Workspace, Meeting Rooms, an All Hands/Dining/Commons, Multi-Purpose Room, Pantry, Library, Work Lounges and a Roof Terrace. One of the key programmatic elements of the design brief for the space involved the creation of a central communication stair linking the two workspace levels... More

The gallery operates on the ground floor and in the basement of a landmarked industrial building converted to rent-controlled loft apartments in the 1970s.
