100 SOUTH STREET

Greenport, NY

Completed 2006 – 4000 sq. ft.

A new, ground up, mixed use (Residential/Commercial) building in Greenport, NY on Long Island’s east end. Here I made use of the rich local vernacular and positioned the building on the site to create a small courtyard at the corner of the site, intended as an outdoor dining area for the proposed restaurant. The project holds three commercial spaces on Ground floor and 3 rental apartments on Second floor.

THE GRAND MILLENIUM

New York City

Completed 1998

This 36 story mixed use tower was completed in 1998. The podium of the building was devoted to commercial tenants and the first phase of the Phillips Club Hotel. The remaining tower was condominium residential. In addition to being part of the team designing the core and skin of this tower, I concentrated on designing the main public spaces, including the elevator interiors, interior corridors and the main entrance lobby.

WATSON RESIDENCE

Greenport, CT

Originally built as a boathouse in the 1890’s as part of a large estate, this building was moved to it’s current location in the 1970’s. After a brief period of use it was later abandoned and remained derelict until the current owners bought it in 2000. To rehabilitate it and convert it to residential use entailed lifting it, creating a new basement, introducing all new plumbing, heating, electrical, interior walls, stairs, kitchen, bathrooms and re-glazing all of the original windows. The house also required new cedar shingle siding & a new roof. The end result is a quintessentially American summer residence.

WATSON RESIDENCE

New York City

After being gutted, this 650 sq. ft. apartment was fitted out with a continuous perimeter of custom mahogany cabinetry. The client had an extensive modern glass collection which he wanted to display. Limiting the architectural vocabulary to the simple, clean lined cabinetry allowed the glowingly lit modern glass to really pop. The palate was limited to 3 main materials and these were applied to each room giving the apartment a unified appearance & allowing it to feel much larger than it’s 650 sq. ft.

BURTON RESIDENCE

New York City

This pending project was interesting in that it was an attempt to convert a standard 1970’s New York studio apartment into a loft-like space defined by the volumes of the custom millwork & by varying the plane of the floor. In place of a bedroom, the floor plane is to be lifted to accommodate a concealed bed. The bed will lift by means of hydraulic jacks when needed, or left open as a freestanding bedroom, surrounded by a flowing curtain. When the bed is down the open space beyond the monolithic kitchen island will act as a large, uninterrupted living & dining area.

DENTON RESIDENCE

New York City

3000 sq. ft.

This gut/rehab project remains on the drawing board due to changed priorities of the client. Located in the Soho section of Manhattan, this 3000 sq. ft. loft residence was designed as a grand entertainment space with secluded, private bedrooms. The client was looking for a darker, more intimate space than the original loft layout offered.

The introduction of floor to ceiling ebonized mahogany bookshelves running the entire perimeter of the main living area helped to create a clubby, library feel. The end of the living space was to be occupied with a custom bronze paneled fireplace. The private portions of the loft were to be a series of interconnected rooms, separated by blackened steel & wire glass sliding doors & partitions.
