Selected Work

Connecticut House, Western Connecticut   This slender house sets atop one large rock, seen here from the east entry court (not yet complete in this photo) toward the entrance, framed between the house and garage.  All rooms enjoy the western view overlooking a river valley in western Connecticut, visible through the entry slot.   Details

AIA Design Award, Eastern New York
Jury comment  "This house stretches the imaginative combination of form and high-tech geometry.  Two gables create a dramatic open second story.  The space between the old and new is filled with stairs and open decks."   Details

London Brokerage Office  This is the only truly interior space on the floor.   The half circular wall contrasts with the office geometry, a rectangular glass interior wall within a glass exterior, seen in subsequent photos.   Details

Residence, Eastern New York  We maintained the eccentric exterior character of this barn conversion, and opened the interior with two primary intersecting interior spaces -- one horizontal, one vertical.   Details

Residence, Southwest Connecticut   We designed an open family room/kitchen addition to integrate with a nineteenth century cottage set amidst the woods.   Details

Apartment, New York City   Light neutral colors in a monochrome pallete of whites, beiges, and browns enhance a classic apartment on the upper West Side.   Details

New York Art Gallery  Space can be created from limited actual volume with no windows.  We designed the largest and longest possible exibition space in this irregularly shaped 1150 sf plan, stepped one side wall to fit the remaining requirements.   All rooms are remarkably spacious despite the limited size, and functions remarkably well - good value for the client.

Engineering Office Reception, Birmingham, UK  When we designed this office in the early 1980's, the Apple II+ had debuted.  Computers were magic, and our client wanted to emphasize their modern technology.   Accordingly, the computer room became an integral part of the reception room, protected by frameless glass etched with the client's logo.

Pool and Greenhouse, Eastern New York  The pool and thermal greenhouse transformed this hay field into a comfortable summer retreat. Later additions included a scuplture at the end of the pool (right),and the observatory with 11" reflector (left).   The roof geometry, siding, trim and color palette match the 17th century farm house (behind poolhouse).




Projects

Advertising Agency, London   This ad agency needed many small private offices in a space 25% shy of their requirements.   To create an orderly space, administrative staff and small glass conference rooms were placed around a row of columns in the long wide central street.   The plan works well because everything fits and the central circulation area dominates and unifies the space physically and spatially.   (pencil on mylar)

Hudson River Guest House   The Guest house is perhaps my smallest commission, but one in which the client and I had considerable fun developing this simple form with a rather complex space.   (fomecore & white bristol board model)

Colorado House   The driving force behind this weekend mountain retreat was to design a house in which one could see a full panorama, without window coverings, while insuring visual privacy.   Details

Galleria, London   Conceived as a mix of uses, this ten story 150,000 square foot urban complex was designed to accommodate pedistrian and automobile access on a busy street.   Retail covers the ground floor, flats on the upper left, and offices on the upper right.  Pedistrians enter through the corner atrium.   Vehicular drop off and garage entry are behind the building.
