The building is a 7,200 square foot renovation/addition, in which we converted a typical residence into a New Orleans style Law office. It features two stories, with large balconies on the front elevation, and a center courtyard complete with brick pavers and a live oak tree as the focal point. It sits on a site on the Interstate 45, in The Woodlands, Texas.
Located at the intersection of St. Leonard and Piątkowska Streets, the building designed by Easst Architects has both commercial and residential function. It was built on a degraded space that had previously been a parking lot for years. In the design assumptions, when thinking about the body of the building, it was crucial to adjust it to the already existing building which has a rather scattered façade and an asymmetrical gable roof. Therefore, we decided to create steep roofs broken with modern dormers. This combination of a traditional roof with a modern façade elements resulted in establishing a dialogue with the existing building. As the result, the building also changes with the angle of observation and its view becomes unobvious.
The movie Patema Inverted is set in a world where opposing gravities exist sharing one sky and is a story about recognizing disparities through each other and achieving harmony. The studio apartment ‘Patema Inverted’, located at the entrance of Haengdang market, talks about how conflicting things that seem rather heterogeneous for an efficiency apartment to be built can coexist. First, the disparate level difference between the three types of building groups that form the district raised an issue. There are countless one- or two-story stores that form the market. Behind them four- to five-story office buildings are sparsely located, and high-rise buildings are widely spread out. ‘Patema Inverted’ utilized red bricks and transparent glass as exterior materials of the first and second floors, and a cafe that is open towards the market intersection was placed. The lower floors were made into white volumes of similar levels to the neighborhood living facility buildings nearby, and the residential area on top was finished with two tones of gray cement bricks.

Bridging Harlem’s active 125th Street corridor and the quieter 126th Street, The Smile is a mixed-used development that houses a nursing school on the street level and residential apartment units above. One-third of these residential units contain affordable housing units that strengthens and provides housing diversity within the neighborhood. East 126’s unique T-shaped footprint offers a diverse set of unit sizes and layout organizations, while also strengthening the connection relationship with the neighboring buildings. This southern cantilevered portion of the building appears to hover over the existing commercial building on 125th Street, creating a dynamic component in the evolving uptown streetscape.
