6. avant chelsea new york, ny, 2008, 34,000 SF
The Avant Chelsea, located in the heart of the urban neighborhood, is a twelve-story residential condo-
minium comprising 19 luxury two-bedroom units and a two story Community Facility Space with a total
of 34,000 SF. All penthouses have private outdoor space, achieved by an unconventional setback solution,
which leads to the unusual appearance of the building. The main volume seems to be hollowed out and
opening up to light and air with a gradation of terrace steps on the top four floors. The street façades
show a floor-to-ceiling window wall system, proportioned to achieve a stimulating balance between the
scale of the user and the building at large. The building is enclosed by a ribbon of 1’x3’ façade panels
that unfold on the east façade as a mosaic of 2500 panels in six different shades of indigo, contributing
to the overall exterior identity of the project.

This children’s reading room is designed to stimulate its users’ imaginations, encouraging them to learn
through form, color and layout. bold and graphic elements with a bright palette of oranges, greens, and
blues are offset by glossy white. A reflective fabric undulates to form a playful ceiling, at parts fold-
ing away to reveal greater height and contrasting concrete. The arrangement of the translucent plastic
shelving allows for exuberant and active spaces for the children while increasing visibility for staff. This
reading room will inspire curiosity within and promote discovery even outside its walls.

the new school new york, ny, 2007
orange is the new signature color of the new school. the vibrant shade suggests the optimism, vivacity,
and progressiveness the institution embodies. A former printing shop in a 1906 commercial building,
recently purchased by the university, suggested none of these characteristics in its original state. our
design infuses the space with a playfulness and spontaneity. it creates an environment in which indepen-
dent-minded students can gather and share. the undulating ceiling cultivates an energetic atmosphere
(and simultaneously addresses a pragmatic issue by visually steering students toward their desired
paths). orange millwork benches provide visual and physical stopping points, while also extending the
fluid, playful profile of the ceiling. the total result is a unique space that speaks to the needs and identity

12. LREI New York, NY, 2002, 55,000 SF
Little red School House & elisabeth Irwin High School (LreI), founded in 1921 by an educator, journalist,
and psychologist, is conceptualized as a learning laboratory. It must encourage students to make connec-
tions between their experiences and the world outside of the school, as well as to engage their imagina-
tions. The architectural approaches that guide the new design for LreI support its progressive philosophy.
II00’s work encompassed a total of 55,000 SF, enhancing the existing facilities and the school community
with state of the art learning environments. The design entailed an upgrade of all programmatic space,
giving coherence to the various floor levels and circulation routes amongst the three buildings.

14. brooklyn brownstone Brooklyn, ny, 2007
This project encompasses the 7,200 square-foot renovation of a 5-story residence in Brooklyn. The aim
of this renovation was to create a family home that fully integrates the site’s rear garden into the plan
of the house, while creating both familial and private spaces. occupying the existing footprint, the new
building employs glass and aluminum to create a more open and continuous feeling in the back of
the house. These materials, in addition to a new staircase connecting the garden and the second floor,
firmly establish the garden as an extension of the house and as a communal location. Using green roof
technology, a private garden accessible from the master bedroom creates a small, personal outdoor
space. Inside, the house is designed to fit the needs of the family. Home office space, rooms for two
children, and a fifth-floor playroom are all elements of this functional, comfortable, and stylish home.
