West Midtown Intermodal Ferry Terminal

Selected by the New York City Economic Development Corporation from a short list of New York's top design firms, the studio designed the new West Midtown Intermodal Ferry Terminal on Pier 79 at West 39th Street. The municipally owned, multi-user facility provides ferry service for short-haul commuters, water taxis, and high-speed long-distance services from Midtown Manhattan to points along the Hudson River — a state-of-the-art terminal with six new boat slips, planned as part of the larger Hudson River Park development.

P.S. 130

Retained by the School Construction Authority to lead design for the new addition and modernization of P.S. 130 in New York City, the studio delivered a five-story, approximately 40,000-square-foot addition with a new cafeteria, a two-level gymnasium, and a rooftop playground, along with extensive renovations to the 60,000-square-foot existing building in this $20 million project.

Cargo & Distribution Centers

The studio has designed numerous cargo and distribution centers for airline and consumer-based clients — complex structures with advanced technological needs. A prime example is the JC Penney distribution center in Manchester, CT: two million square feet housing state-of-the-art automated sorting and storage systems, conveyors, a railroad siding, and a major computer center. Special attention was given to employee areas to create a warm, comfortable environment, with careful climate and humidity control for storage and data areas.

Urban Housing

For the New York State Urban Development Corporation, the studio designed and delivered a considerable number of housing units — middle- to low-income housing and housing for the elderly — in Brooklyn, Painted Post, and Oneonta. Careful planning and creative design produced stable, comfortable neighborhood environments with a functional design quality rarely found in this building type.
