DANESE GALLERY
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Serene galleries and workspaces compliment twentieth century and contemporary
artworks. Grey-green limestone floors and frosted glass add subtle color
to the exhibition spaces. The mahogany and cherry woodwork in the work areas
are stained to achieve muted, rich colors. An installation by Barry Le Va
is shown. HOME
BOX OFFICE THEATER
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Crisp modern details and flat, incised wall planes characterize this reinterpretation
of the classic Hollywood screening room. Selected anigre, non-directional
finished nickel silver, and custom textiles in muted earth tones impart
a sense of luxury and expectation. 120 seats are steeply raked to provide
excellent sight lines and intimacy, and a box at the back houses executive
lounge chairs. Two sides of the theater back onto existing exterior curtain
wall, requiring a high level of acoustic and thermal isolation.
RECORDING STUDIOS
& OFFICES
PARADISE MUSIC, NEW YORK
A lively color palette, expansive interior windows and modest materials
express this young music company's enthusiasm and commitment to their
artists. Acoustics require that the suite of recording studios have no
parallel walls. The non-orthogonal walls in the open workspaces reflect
the open, non-traditional structure of the company.
WARNER BROS.
SCREENING ROOM
"Perfect picture and sound" were the goals for this midtown
viewing room. Raked seating allows unobstructed sight lines, and a complete
room within a room was built for acoustic isolation. The critics who use
the room give it two thumbs up!
TriBeCa PRODUCTIONS/ROBERT
DENIRO
TriBeCa FILM CENTER
The old Martinson's Coffee warehouse in TriBeCa was converted into a unique
downtown film center, comprised of editorial and post-production facilities,
a state-of-the-art screening room and a restaurant and banquet facility.
All new services included elevators, toilets and air conditioning. The
Center has brought new activity to this part of New York and received
a Landmarks Conservancy award.
REICH & TANG
ROCKEFELLER CENTER OFFICES
Four floors at Rockefeller Center totaling 50,000 s.f. were renovated
for a growing mutual funds group. Clerestory windows bring daylight to
open work areas. The design integrates custom woodwork and furniture design
with a modular system to create a unified work environment.
MacARTHUR FOUNDATION
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Rooftop conference facilities will revitalize the Marquette building, a
seminal example of Chicago high rise architecture. Designed by Holabird
& Roche and completed in 1895, the building was disfigured when its
elaborate cornice was removed in 1950 as a preventative measure. The preservation
and restoration of this historic structure is a complex issue for a non-profit
foundation.
