The Marine Longhouse is designed as a contextually-rooted, working waterfront preservation tool, proximate to active farms, compliant with state and federal requirements, and sited to serve the cooperatives, researchers, and communities sharing this coast.

The Marine Longhouse consolidates critical harvesting practices in a single high-performance waterfront facility. The building is scalable and replicable along the working coast. Specialized equipment, research and flexible classroom space support workforce development programs that translate practical skills into employment, lowering logistical costs and reducing operational risk for businesses pursuing growth.

The Marine Longhouse is a purpose-built facility for aquaculture, bringing processing, training, research, and gathering space together under one roof, at the water's edge in coastal Maine.
Small and mid-sized sea farms generate significant economic activity for Maine's coastal communities and depend upon reliable onshore infrastructure to operate safely and grow. The Marine Longhouse is designed to meet this need, in the form of a catalog-based, prefabricated building system and working infrastructure, delivered and sited for farming efficiency, institutional research, and community outreach.

Once home to ship cargo and stevedores, this laboratory for the arts references its Red Hook maritime, industrial, and craft past, as well as the neighborhood’s own present and future. A thriving arts community has made the place a ready focus for Brooklyn and beyond.

In the first phase of work, the team has taken a light hand in supporting the proposed program, indicating its future promise while maintaining a connection to Red Hook through a focus on the existing masonry shell, heavy timber framing, and apertures at the building envelope.

A place to posit, experiment, develop new ideas, and present work, the essence in its form a laboratory and workshop. Multipurpose and flexible conditions are central. The means and methods of stagecraft, the use of flats and movable objects, informs the occupation of this former warehouse.

Inspired by the promise and proof of concept of the Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalog of Homes, the original Case Study Houses, and the essence and utility of the indigenous longhouse, our Case Study 2.0 proposal is rooted in the principles of modularity and mass timber construction, leveraging prefabricated engineering and construction methods. Our proposed building envelope, amenities and finishes include refined and sustainable components for predictable assembly.
Working Group 1 is a design collaborative founded in 2014 by veterans of built form in pursuit of careful craft. We’re inclusive, inquisitive and generous of spirit, drawn to mission-driven clients and collaborators.

Our Case Study 2.0 design philosophy is rooted in the principles of modularity and mass timber construction, leveraging prefabricated engineering and construction methods. Our proposed building envelope and finishes include refined and sustainable components for predictable assembly, facilitating selection of variable elements including roofing, cladding, windows, doors, wall and floor finishes, kitchen and bath assemblies. All specified components are part of a carefully crafted catalog offering, allowing our longhouse model to adapt to program, site, climate, and topography.Working Group 1 is a design collaborativefounded in 2014 by veterans of built form in pursuit of careful craft.

From its inception as a place of intellectual and spiritual gathering in harmony with nature, to its evolution as the home of cultural, creative and environmental stewardship, the Pacific Palisades stands poised to re-emerge from the ashes of devastating fire, invigorated by the Case Study 2.0 project. We envision the same potential for the rebuilding effort across greater Los Angeles. With an eye toward compliance across a range of parcel sizes, we’ve developed a modular system that meets local code and zoning requirements, addressing key considerations including building area, height, and setbacks. Our goal is to propose a design that meets baseline target costs outlined in the project brief, while allowing for expansion, customization and upgrade by current and future owners.

We are proud to be one of the 40 visionary architectural firms participating in Case Study 2.0, a revival of the historic Case Study House Program. We’re providing aesthetically refined, fire resilient architectural plans to empower communities impacted by the fires to rebuild beautifully, resiliently, and affordably.
Designed for a changing world and the future of living. This is the remaking of home.

Inside Lookingglass Theatre's new lobby, art and technology merge to play a key role in the theatre's new public-facing identity. Text embedded throughout the architectural environment guides all toward the theatre and its amenities. In the anteroom, the word ‘LOOK’ embedded in a centrally located projection surface provides the imperative to interact with a dynamic floor-to-ceiling billboard.

Lookingglass Theatre’s new lobby forges a powerful link between performance and place. Set within the historic Chicago Avenue Pumping Station—a proud survivor of the Great Chicago Fire—the design celebrates an original Gothic Revival-style archway. Once opening into a small, enclosed room, the restored opening now frames a sweeping curved ceremonial stair, connecting the new lobby to the theatre’s anteroom and honoring the building’s enduring legacy on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile.
