A 1950’s Community Center in the Catskills was abandoned for decades before being rescued by a 100-year old local library that had outgrown its residential location. The enormous “cathedral” clear span open space proved to be a glorious fit for the Mountain Top Library. The existing wood ceiling and gigantic glulam beams cleaned up [...]
25 Arts and Crafts style luxury twinned single family town homes, carefully sited in the center of The Village of Delmar, NY. These large homes fit neatly into a highly disciplined site design.

Mahogany panels and true-divided lite transom windows define this Conference Room pavilion, set inside the open office area
Occupying the corner lot at a main intersection in the middle of the charming village of Altamont, the “before” was a flat roofed, featureless, grey concrete block structure.

35,000 Square foot new dealership with a level of finish more typical of a multi-national corporate head-quarters than an auto showroom.
Catskill-inspired architecture appropriate to its proposed setting, just outside an historic resort village on the “Mountain Top”. All natural materials were used for the exterior, including fieldstone, cedar shingles, locally milled trim, and recycled Douglas fir for a true hammerbeam timber frame at the main public spaces. The Banking Room is lit by indirect uplight [...]

Major renovations more than doubled the size of an aged dealership. The double height Mazda Showroom and sweeping curved canopy hung from the entrance tower create soaring drama from inside and out.
Offices for an engineering firm specializing in cell towers, set within the historic industrial clock tower building in Amsterdam, NY.
Although the original brick facade of the original steel framed industrial building was deemed irreparable and removed, the original profile was recreated in cedar, with a two-sided parapet gable added at the entrance. The interior height permitted a mezzanine in one of the tenant spaces.
