This targeted renovation included gut renovations of a large guest bathroom, powder room, and a laundry room, various improvements to address ergonomically or visually awkward elements throughout the home's interior, new window treatments and privacy controls, a circulation passthrough to eliminate a dead-end hallway, and a large new skylight to illuminate an open living room from the center outwards.

An existing small galley kitchen was replaced with a large addition centered around a generous open kitchen to serve as a gathering place for dinner parties, family meals, and social cooking. A new porch with built-in seating extends the social space of the kitchen to the outdoors. A powder room adjacent to the kitchen was refinished, and the new footprint of the addition also allowed for a new mudroom as more welcoming entrance to the kitchen from the driveway.

This proposed targeted renovation aimed to consolidate the programming needs of a commercial laundromat (customer service & waiting areas, vending and breakout, staff support and managerial space) into an angled bar that would unlock more usable space through an efficient arrangement of its various elements and also serve to spotlight a custom-built customer-service desk as a prominent hub for the overall space.

This three story house + basement in Ditmas Park has been grandfathered in as a two-family home, with two independent units intertwined within the single volume of the house and served by separate staircases and entrances. The first of multiple planned phases will be a full renovation of the basement, including a bathroom, laundry room, home office, media room, and remediation of an existing mechanical room.

This conceptual project aimed to discover possibilities for playfulness, audacity, and excess within the structural and formal logic of an ordinary hipped-roof house typology, using a simple but extreme extrusion of a hipped roof to create a monumental plane and a hybrid between the typologies of a modernist box and a traditional pitched roof.

This conceptual project, a whimsical addition to the existing New Museum in New York, sought to introduce possibilities for the design of architectural flows of energy via a challenge to the “appearance” of the museum’s white box environment, while at the same time pushing environmental & mechanical design beyond the merely technocratic and into the realm of the poetic.
