This structure which we put forward as a concept project in Manhattan and looks quite striking with the difference created by both its form and materials on the silhoutte was a work we had planned to design for a long time. When we examine it in general, the first impressive effect is that it creates an image in the mind that is tangent to all of the other neighboring structures but does not exactly resemble any of them. It is a first step project that feeds ideas with concepts such as anatomy and cell and it reveals its basis very clearly with its amorphous shaping and completely different statics from similar structures.Another aspect of the same work is an image that will reveal what kind of impression it creates in the silhoutte in general. If it is examined together with the city as well as showing its difference directly the elaborately produced formal ratio of the building it also demonstrates its existence in a very concrete way. On the other hand, the voids it has also contain different views in itself. At this point, it has a transparent ghosty stance in the city skyline.
The architecture of 75 Kenmare is about the fundamentals of materiality, solidity, and proportional clarity. Its poetic concrete facade is made out of the simplest of materials and executed with imaginative detailing to create a building with a timeless and robust presence. Sitting at the bustling pedestrian thoroughfare of Kenmare and Mulberry, in the very heart of NoLita at the junction of Soho, NoHo, the Lower East Side, and Little Italy the 83,000 square foot residential building offers 38 apartments ranging in size from 600 to 3,000 square feet.
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.
HWKN’s Bushwick Generator is a new office campus that embodies the neighborhood’s energy and tradition of disruptive entrepreneurship outside and in. With it, Matthias Hollwich and his team at HWKN designed a bold new building that gives shape to the area’s creative spirit and relentless drive, offering a hub for the innovative companies that call Brooklyn home.
Designed as the centerpiece of La Prairie’s Global Headquarters, the offices were conceived as a series of flexible spaces, planned to accommodate large hosted events, product launches, and smaller individual workshops. Wall sections were designed as movable objects, and large pivoting wall sections in the conference area help to reconfigure the space for various sized gatherings.
Three long cantilevers on the top of a secluded hill give the spaces of the house commanding views into the woods and the feeling of being suspended in the trees. The living and dining spaces combine to form a Great Room, with a wall of sliding glass doors looking out onto the pool and deck. The house, for a young family of five, contains two master suites and three additional bedrooms, allowing the owners to accommodate friends with their children. The large screen porch, on one of the cantilevered ends of the house, contains an outdoor fireplace and creates the feeling of being in a tree house. The pool’s design creates the illusion of a body of water tautly suspended between two stone walls with the infinity edge beckoning to the trees beyond.
Float 52’, Mr. Rossmassler and Ms. Purcell’s prototype and personal Barge Yacht, a two-story home with a third-story roof deck, is part beach club and part loft space. The minimalist design features an open plan layout on the first and second decks with flexible furnishings allowing for a variety of configurations and uses. The first deck offers a galley style kitchen designed with ombré kitchen cabinetry and a recessing bar/kitchen window for indoor/outdoor entertaining. A retractable full wall-width glass garage door flanks the open living area. A 12×12 foot hydraulic aft ramp on this deck is ideal for launching small watercraft, lounging, and landing to shore. The first deck also includes a full bath with a composting toilet.
The new fifth floor of the Vanderbilt Clinic of Columbia University’s School of Dental Medicine is part of a masterplan that envisages the complete restructuring of dental education, research and practice at Columbia. This project is the prototype for CDM’s new technology-driven and collaboration-oriented curriculum. The design translates the school’s vision for dentistry into architectural form.
With this project we have had an opportunity to connect the heroic past of a venerable city institution to its promising future. The construction of a new Ambulatory Care Pavilion and the renovation of important medical spaces have substantially transformed the existing hospital complex,serving a wide range of patients, including the poor and indigent, into an advanced medical campus.
