Educational Interior Design | Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service | New York University | New York | SubenDougherty Architecture + Design

The new home for the NYU Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service occupies 2 floors, approximating 46,000 square feet, in the Puck Building, a commanding landmark in Soho and one of the city’s true architectural gems. The building’s open floors presented SubenDougherty with a uniquely challenging interior and spectacular open loft space filled with exquisite architectural vestiges of its 1860-1880 origins, yet they offered a minimum of existing usable infrastructure and two masonry bearing walls, that run perpendicular to the length of the building, divide each floor into three distinct zones.

Restaurant Interior Design | Maximiliano | Los Angeles | Freeland Buck

An Italian restaurant and pizzeria for chef Andre Guerrero, Maximilano is atmospherically distinct; a dynamic triangular space infused with color and evocative of the rich and refined menu.
