Mr Nancy’s in the latest issue of @aninteriormag ! Exciting to see this fun project alongside so many mentors and colleagues in the AN Top 50 just a few pages further down, and in a publication that prints drawings too.
Thanks again to @yhprumkcaj@archpaper for the opportunity and @willsperos for the wonderful essay; @em___joseph@josephjosephstudio for the beautiful photos, and of course our clients at the bar John and Michael for their encouragement and vision! We’ll be sharing more soon—in the meantime Mr Nancy’s is at 702 Seneca Avenue, below the M train station.
The Gazebo at Mr Nancy’s connects the gut-renovated Red Room with the repaired bar area closer to the street. It’s elevated platform can be a small seating area or DJ booth.

Barnard Barn Hemp Skylight. An opportunity to highlight the hybrid of materials old and new at work in the rebuilt thermal envelope of the Barn.
A polycarbonate sheet exposes existing rafters, and new hempwool insulation, hovering above the restored original stairs to the Barn hayloft.

Parlor Studio had its permits approved by the Brooklyn DOB today: we are excited to begin construction soon!
The Studio is a workspace and house for a multimedia artist in Flatbush, activated by a series of pivoting doors and sliding panels in the oversized parlor floor of an existing rowhouse.
Swift Street Residences urban context: small stoops, narrow footprints, textured facades. Our open jointed wood rain screen continues the same module as the neighboring townhouses’ brick street walls.

Prefab concrete foundations at Swift Street before, during, and after. Prefabricated concrete panels use less concrete (saving embodied carbon) and are installed in a matter of days, fully cured, creating a foundation and cellar almost instantly.
