Project: Design Studio + Gallery Location: 316 East 53rd Street New York City

This office, awarded an IBD/Interior Design Magazine design award, is a renovated street-level storefront space in midtown Manhattan. The long, narrow front portion of the space served as a gallery for a series of fine-art exhibitions as well as design projects, while the more open back area was devoted to an office including a library and conference areas. A simple vocabulary of elements helped to define and unify the interior: white walls and ceiling, dark durable carpet, Formica furniture, and spotlights.
