Cobble Hill Interior

This triplex loft within a converted public school was given new life through a complete renovation using a variety of materials and custom details suitable for different tasks. Acoustics were a priority component for this opera afficionado, allowing Sara Matiz to enjoy the selection of various fabrics and all furniture.

Stop the snow and cold temps!

It seems that our larger construction projects are all being slowed down by the frigid days we are having here in NYC. We don't enjoy going to see snow settling on what could otherwise be concrete walls and steel framing. Here is a view of the blanketed future Neurological building addition!

Looking forward to 2009 from atop our new project on Duane Street where we are additng a two story penthouse.

MIKIMOTO on Fifth Avenue



Recently unveiled...the holiday season window and retail displays for all Mikimoto USA locations; Beverly Hills, Costa Mesa, Las Vegas and NY's 5 avenue ! Mirror Mirror on the wall....

CHALK Our most recent branding for a new client, New York Presbyterian Hospital. We were asked to generate a name and visual identity for this community outreach program, and we did it in style!

NEUROtic

We're working on final design drawings for our largest building project. We are expanding a 5,000 sf townhouse on the Upper East side to more than 9,000 sf by extending it toward the rear and the sky! The seven story building will be converted to a medical facility primarily occupied by a growing Neurological practice. Copper paneling and large glass openings animate the context of the rear terrace above the fully built out ground floor. Sustainable materials are found throughout.

on the SILK ROAD

An inspirational mood board is the first step in the creative process of branding this high end carpet and rug company. Their beautiful products are achieved with the finest craftsmen around the world. Colors, textures and so much more, have allowed our creativity to flourish. We are currently finalizing design of their entire graphic and corporate identity.

Higgins Hall - RESTORED.

Originally built in 1869, this Richardsonian Romanesque building houses the School of Architecture. We were commissioned to restore exterior facades, and replace historical windows in order to bring this important building back to its original elegance. "It has been great to help revive the building where I spent so many late nights" says Juan Matiz, who graduated in 94'. Alpine Construction executed carefully restored masonry and stone detailing while installing custom fabricated wood windows imitating historical profiles. Another Landmark we can be proud of in our portfolio.

Valli-Valli Ads

MAD and Valli Valli partnered again with a series of ads for design magazines where new product lines are highlighted. Simplicity and elegance are key in the series of advertisements.

We are very proud of 'handling' this important task for their North American market.

Secretly SOHO

On the boards! We are developing the design of a new restaurant in Soho. French cuisine meets the contemporary treatment of traditionally Parisian materials and surfaces.

NYU : class is in session !

We just completed the design of four general purpose classrooms (2,500 sf) on the 3rd floor of Waverly Building and five general purpose seminar rooms (1,600 sf) on the 7th, 8th and 9th floors of Bobst Library were reconfigured and redesigned.

Water and Wine

The new specialty water and wine brand asked us to design their identity just in time for their first retail spaces in Singapore and Bangkok. From NYC, we were successful in coordinating the design of the logo, packaging, labels and of course, coasters!

Boys & Girls Club project UPDATE

Boys and Girls Club of NWNJ has scheduled the start of construction for the end of the year and we are very excited that this 6,500 sf educational facility will finally be coming out of the ground in Wayne.

BLUE BATH

A small interiors project allowed us to explore the use of recycled Saratoga glass bottles (the Owners favorite) to invent a new light fixture in his new bath. The blue tint makes for a wonderful night light.

From sketch to execution.
