Landmarks are a world of lore with its own inherent set of beliefs, stories, and customs. In a town that seems to reinvent itself overnight, New York landmarks represent the city’s hard-fought, cherished history. At 10 Jay Street, an ideal location flanked by the Manhattan Bridge and flush with waterfront views, integrating innovative design with the site’s landmark heritage was more than creative vision, it was a developmental demand. Today the waterfront offers a new kind of visibility inward and out. 10 Jay Street honors the relationship between neighborhood and waterfront, heritage and innovation. A delicate balance of glass, steel, brick, and spandrels give the building gravitas without compromising industrial heritage.
This is a residential project for a family of 6 in Calabasas, California. The owner wanted something special for his house. The project was just completed, several weeks ago in 2019.
The interior design process was focused on the great room, powder room, dining area, kitchen, living area, master bedroom and master bathroom, covering an area of around 3000 square feet. For quality purposes we used bath products and wooden tiles from the Porcelanosa Spanish brand.
Needing more space for our growing, multi-disciplinary team in Austin, we explored several options for our new office location, ultimately choosing the Texas State Teacher’s Association building as the perfect fit. The project was an exciting opportunity for CTA’s architects, interior designers, and engineers to join forces and showcase their talents in their own space, which has received praise from visitors and clients, as well as other architecture and design firms.
JACA Architects was selected by Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital of Needham, Massachusetts, in December 2017 to design the 37,000-square-foot new outpatient clinical center with a $29 million project budget. JACA’s familiarity with the campus, staff, and regulatory processes of BID-Needham, from the several other projects they have completed for the hospital, helped them stand out from other firms.

The groundbreaking Population Health Facility establishes a new type of venue for interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation. The 290,000-square-foot building is conceived as a hybrid facility designed to respond directly to the mission of the University of Washington’s Population Health Initiative—a 25-year vision to address the most persistent and emerging challenges affecting human health, environmental resilience and social and economic equity across the globe. The $230 million building supports this goal by bringing related yet disparate specialties together in the pursuit of global health and a world where all people can live healthier and more fulfilling lives.
“The building and the project as a whole has come to reflect, in a small way, the Population Health Initiative,” notes Sian Roberts, FAIA, corporate executive for the project and partner at Miller Hull. “Together with a wide range of client and user groups, we are imagining how space can support such a complex and inspirational mission.”
The Kati ownership team approached goCstudio to design a vegan Thai restaurant located in a former pub space sited in South Lake Union, a rapidly developing neighborhood and center of Seattle’s booming tech industry. Filling a need for healthy and flavorful vegan food in the area, Kati features locally sourced and organic plant-based dishes and is guided by the simplicity of ingredient and technique.
The art collector clients for RCR relocated to this rural setting where they desired a house that capitalized on the characteristics of the extraordinary site and created an appropriate setting for the display and enjoyment of their collection.
The house and guest quarters occupy a sloping transition zone between a forested butte and a grassy meadow located on an eight-acre valley site in western Montana. The house was sited to access views of the meadow and distant peaks situated at each end of the valley.
Located in the heart of Noe Valley, this urban remodel’s original structure was plagued by a series of haphazard additions; creating a jumbled floor plan full of awkward, dark, and narrow spaces. The clients desired the incorporation of natural light, inspiring our design team to simplify the home’s plan. Orchestrating a clear flow and hierarchy of uncluttered spaces and fully excavating the basement to include a larger garage, storage and livable space, as well as greater accessibility to the home’s rear yard, allowed the homeowner’s to fully embrace the beauty of their home transformation.
A brand new, single-story gem, consciously crafted for function and livability with a focus on architectural details located at 2314 Rue Adriane in La Jolla. Rue Adriane offers a sophisticated, highly curated new century modern white-water ocean view dwelling.
Located on a large, flat cul-de-sac lot with 180 degree white-water ocean views, the home features; 2,686SF interior living space / lot size of 12,095SF (0.29 acres) / 4BR / 3.5BA, including a guest suite with private entrance / 2-car garage / ~600SF of covered outdoor living space / ~750SF deck with a heated infinity pool.
Inspired by the trinomial cube, a primary teaching tool in Montessori education, Paul Michael Davis Architects’ (PMDA) designed an addition to a rural campus that merges the school’s pedagogy with the surrounding natural environment.
Each of the twenty-seven blocks in the trinomial cube is represented by a window. The largest window is purposefully located on the north facade of the building because that side receives passive light, and therefore won’t add excessive heat gain or glare to the structure.
