East Hampton with Roberta's colors!

The soft-opening of this new retail space on Main Street in East Hampton gives us another great reason to travel East from NYC for the summer. A contemporary beach inspired interior design offers the R. Freymann and the Roberta Roller Rabbit brands a framework of displays that capture product lines in elegant style. A sculpted wood slat ceiling, along with specifically oriented and textured surfaces combine to appeal to passers by who glance toward the completely new space. Graphics and some lighting still need to be installed, and then we'll get our best photos to share!

Neurological Center now complete!

The facades are now complete and the doctors have moved in as interior details are being finalized. The rear image above with the adjacent smaller townhouse on the left is indicative of the unaltered building's scale prior to the additional 3,000+ sf addition. Exteriors were shot by Ty Cole, as we review the builder's work on the completed six story project.

StrawberryFrog

We're currently working on the design of this advertising firms office expansion located on the top floors of a building facing Madison Square Park. Our design will allow StrawberryFrog to connect two floors and add 7,000 sf of creative space for this dinosaur crushing firm. Sustainable products and energy efficiency throughout this design and buildout.

Neuro clad in Copper

Now in 2010, we're getting closer to having the doctors move in! With the building now fully enclosed, busy crews from Aries Construction are working on interior finishes throughout the six stories of medical offices.

Roberta Freymann @ Lex and 70th

We just completed the design of a wonderfully intimate space for Roberta Freymann. Rusticated steel frames and perforated panels meet silks and leather. This landmark corner location was a design challenge in refined retail displays complementing the rich colors and textures of the RF lines.

It was a grand opening with more photos soon to come.

Happy New Year to all!

Etsy's textured ceiling

We are working on some details at ETSY, now that they have moved in and are comfortably feeling out their space. Above is an image of a ceiling proposed with wire and surplus fabric strips that will assist the acoustics and generate a textured surface in their main conference room.

NYU Goddard Hall

Located on West 4th Street, at Washington Sq. Park is our latest project at NYU. A new entry leads to the five classroom complex highlighted by common areas defined by recessed stone benches. A warm palette composed of end-cut bamboo, plaster and stainless steel complement classroom interiors designed with the latest academic technology.

Ariel West Residence Interiors

Our clients asked us to bring warmth and materiality to this new residential building in the Upper West Side. We designed custom millwork furniture with subtle inspiration from the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Murano lamps and persian rugs contrast crisp interiors to successfully create this home.

Boy and Girls Club UPDATE

Only a month to go on the construction of the new children's educational center at the Boy's and Girl's Club in Wayne, NJ. The exterior's yellow cement board and all eave faces still pending installation while interior work is nearly complete. The big push in time for classes in September. Finished pics soon to come.

Nearing completion : ETSY

Just a few more weeks and Etsy will relocate to their new space in Dumbo. Furniture, painting and technology are now being finalized. We've enjoyed the work with Two-Trees who has been carrying our drawings to fruition.

Tribeca Roof Terrace

As part of an internal renovation project for a loft in Tribeca, we are currently starting to design an outdoor space that will be directly connected to our work below with a new stair. Just a simple hand drawing getting us started. Much more to come!

LEED X 3

Sara Matiz, Brian Green and Juan Matiz all became much greener in the month of June! The three of them received LEED professional certifications and will continue to pursue strategies to have our projects be environmentally responsible. We will further encourage our clients to use sustainable products and energy conscious planning in all our designs.

ETSY greenway

Our project in DUMBO continues to come along as construction swiftly proceeds. One of the key features of our space for ETSY is a "Greenway" made with a series of metal planter elements that could be filled with many forms of vegetation. It delineates one of the main axes in the space. We are hoping to have these fabricated soon for an improved interior environment.

It's Growing!

Looking down on our Upper East side expansion, you can see that it is taking form and cladding has begun to appear on the steel frame. The rest of the addition will be completed during the next few weeks. See blog 10-15-08 for the anticipated facade.
