For an eatery that features authentic street rice noodle from Hunan, we wanted to create a dining space that engages with the bustling neighborhood of East Village. The space is conceived as a place to look into and look out from, a continuous volume is carved out from the storefront into the interior so a direct dialogue is established between the street and the restaurant. A group of communal dining table anchors the center of the restaurant and adds to the continuity of the space. The interplay between white plastered wall and wood screen creates a bright and warm atmosphere. The rhythmic wood screen with fillet corners reinforces the geometry of the space, while resembling the rice noodle featured in this restaurant. The screen sits in front of existing brick walls where carefully designed backlighting adds another layer of subtlety to the space.
New Practice Studio is an interdisciplinary collaboration between architects, interior designers, graphic designers and brand strategists based in New York and Shanghai.
Designed by Blaze Makoid Architecture, this North Haven, NY project is a 6,000 square foot home, spread across two, half-acre waterfront lots. As the homeowners, Jon Vaccari and Stephen Fleming, often host family and friends, the goal was to create a design conducive to year-round entertaining, while taking full advantage of the sweeping views across Sag Harbor Cove, the village wharf and a small, salt water pond.
Medly Pharmacy is a new neighborhood pharmacy in Brooklyn, owned by Marg and Sahaj Patel and designed by Sergio Mannino Studio.
Retailers have begun to understand the necessity of transforming businesses into every-channel retail platforms, where online and physical stores work as one, not needing to compete with each other. Pharmacies in particular are beginning to take advantage of this, with Medly being among the first in New York to do embrace the merits of both online and physical. Medly has designed a free complementary app that saves customers the hassle of having to leave the house when sick, let alone having to wait in line for hours just to get prescriptions. But a successful online business needs a physical counterpart and our design for Medly has been created with this in mind.
The site of the Cube House is part of an unpredictable and delicate natural ecosystem on Moriches Bay, exposed to both heavy wind gusts, and ocean and bay tides that frequently flood the site. Successive storms had irreparably damaged the site’s existing, nonconforming 800 square foot shack and deck.
Oriented in relation to the rolling hills of its site and views of surrounding mountain ranges, the house is conceived as two elongated volumes – a smaller inner volume sleeved into a larger outer – sitting on a cast-in-place concrete base. Sleeving the two volumes creates two distinct types of interior space: first, between the inner and outer volumes, and second within the inner volume.
Bound roughly by borders at Delancey and Chambers to the north and south, and East Broadway and Broadway to the east and west, Manhattan’s Chinatown has largely resisted the real estate forces that’ve seized its pricier neighbors. Home to the largest ethnic Chinese population outside of Asia, the neighborhood remains both a bastion of unspoiled immigrant culture and, in many ways, a uniquely American project—a vital reminder of our historic inclusivity.
In The Dragon Gate at the Canal Street Triangle, ODA New York’s designed a fitting entrance to this storied district. Inspired by the namesake creature ubiquitous in Chinese culture, ODA’s pavilion also loosely invokes another fantastical being, the chimera; in mythology, a beast comprising parts from multiple unalike animals, but here manifest only in the multifaceted nature of their work.
This 3,200 square-foot residence was created for ‘Summering’ in the Hamptons and occasional off-season weekends. It’s meant to be a ‘family place’ to enjoy the natural beauty of the setting and to entertain. The design is an example of casual modernism – much like contemporary homes in California – with clean lines, strong indoor-outdoor connections, and a modern interior. A breezeway bridges the parking side of the house with the living side and further acts as a point of entry that provides a directed view of the open site. The first floor has the main public spaces, plus a guest suite, while the second floor has the master bedroom, two kid’s bedrooms, and a family room – all of which overlook the deck, pool, and yard.
Set among fields along the south facing coast of Long Island and within a short walk to the ocean, this Hamptons residence is a quiet refuge for a growing family and offers extraordinary views of the surrounding landscape.
The residence lies parallel to the water, looking south into preserved agricultural land with the distant sound of waves breaking along the ocean shore, and north to a field of wildflowers and native grasses. The plan bends slightly to maximize views of the coastline. A path from the parking court leads to a linear walkway of silver-grey weathered wood planks that passes through the entry foyer of the house and out to the pool beyond.
The Brooklyn Garden Studio is a 55-square-foot self-built retreat located in the garden of a Boerum Hill townhouse in Brooklyn, New York. Built by the architect during nights and weekends over a four-month period, the studio is a resourceful exploration of stripped-down simplicity. A tinkering architect’s escape from the city, both in the act of building and time spent within its walls, it is a canvas for testing details and spatial constraints, an exercise in developing a language for larger work, and an indulgence in the experience of being one’s own client.
