East 78th Street Townhouse

This project involves a complete gut renovation of an existing 4-story townhouse, along with the addition of a fifth floor and a 12-foot rear extension. Our clients, who had previously lived in a downtown loft, sought to recreate a similar open and airy feel for their new Upper East Side townhouse. In response, we designed a vertical loft that offers a dynamic, modern living experience, contrasting with the traditional horizontal layout they were accustomed to. The vertical loft features interconnected rooms that seamlessly flow into one another, with sliding panels providing privacy when needed. The design emphasizes connectivity, with an open staircase linking the various levels. To reinforce the loft concept, we minimized full-height wa... More

grafted, hotel pfösl

Selected in a private-sector competition, the project involved the renovation, extension and construction of the new façade for the historical hotel building, along with three new chalets, conceived as a single large-scale ensemble in the midst of the countryside. As a new layer overlapped with an existing structure that has already developed multiple strata over the years, the project aimed to re-establish a unified appearance, conversing freely with the surrounding landscape and the three chalets in the woods. gustav willeit Inspired by a fragment from the wooden frame of the farm’s old barn, the new façade redefines the silhouette of the principal corpus and provides support for the new balconies, like a large s...
