Richard had some time on his hands, a stack of business cards, a sepia pen and a paintbrush. This is the outcome:

Atelier & Co. Real Estate Help
This "2 bedroom" in Brooklyn Heights had seen better days--and better layouts. We were asked by the realtor what was possible, with a few requests:
The perspective buyer needed more storage, a better configured kitchen and a true foyer to arrive in--rather than a hall that flowed into a living room that flowed into a bedroom...
A little formality with the addition of a few walls created a sense of entry and defined a sequence of rooms that now make this 2 bedroom livable and allow the owner to formally entertain. The now ample galley Kitchen can be closed off or to serve through. The Master Bedroom storage was neatly disguised in a wall of cabinetry and the apartment's only bath is now accessed through an anti-room off the public space--rather than going through the Master bedroom.

Great Moments in Rejected Design: Greenwich Residence
Our designs get thrown out, revised and passed on every day. Some for the better--but not always. The project below is part of our ongoing blog series that digs through the Atelier flat files to share design that would otherwise never see the light of day. Enjoy!

Why Rome? An Eternal Question
Almost every year someone asks me the question: ‘Why Rome?’
They usually mean why do I go there almost every year. The
answer to the question is larger than that though–why Rome after in the end
for all of us? Why Rome for the artists of the renaissance, for the Grand
tourists, for the Ecole des Beaux-Arts for two centuries. The simple answer is that since the study of
art is the study of its great masterpieces. There is a higher concentration of
those masterpieces in Rome than anywhere else in the world. This series of
posts is going to focus on the many trips I’ve made over the years with
students and colleagues, and some of the less well-known and less easily
accessible masterpieces we’ve visited and drawn. I hope you enjoy them! For
those of you who have been on these trips, or who have seen these places,
please send me any photos or sketches and we’ll post them in the follow-up
section. The tradition continues with the Beaux-Arts Academy in Utah. For
details of this year’s trip see the links below.

PROCESS: Making Faces
Below is the first in a series of blog entries covering our process of bringing art and architecture from concept to reality.
Reference Image: The original reference for this watercolor came from a
window panel found at the Villa Farnesina in Rome.

…and then we quickly made this serious but festive painting lose all integrity by creating decks of playing cards with it!

Great Moments in Rejected Design: Idlewild
Our designs get thrown out, revised and passed on every day. Some for the better--but not always. The project below is part of our ongoing blog series that digs through the Atelier flat files to share design that would otherwise never see the light of day. Enjoy!
The design process was splintering in two directions: 50's modern to match the hotel's aesthetic or JFK's bird sanctuary past. The client ultimately decided on the later, but we still think the graphic interpretation of the Pei Cobb Freed tower was a pretty great option as well.

The Jade Hotel, Greenwich Village
Gemini Real Estate Advisors
Historic Greenwich Village and lower Fifth Avenue provided both the context and inspiration for this new 113-room boutique hotel. The entry is through a Greek revival inspired storefront that addresses the scale of historic Greenwich Village and the style of many of its historic buildings. The details of the storefront include: channeled rusticated brick piers, restoration glass windows, a decorative frieze inspired by Grinling Gibbons, crowning globe finials and pediment, copper gas lanterns, and custom bronze door pulls.
The twenty-story hotel tower containing 113 rooms is set back from the storefront and is inspired by the neo-Georgian towers from the 1920’s on lower Fifth Avenue. Details include cast stone quoining and crowning cast stone entablature, arches, and decorative urns, giving the new building a distinctive silhouette against the Greenwich village skyline.
