Architecture in New York — loft conversions in Tribeca, cultural institutions on the Bowery, Brooklyn townhouse renovations, and apartments carved from industrial space. A city defined by the tension between vertical ambition and domestic intimacy.
Architecture built for climate, craft, and place. Houses organized around courtyards where mass does the work of insulation, shadow does the work of air conditioning, and the open sky does the work of skylight. Volcanic stone, brick vaults, rammed earth, pink stone, adobe — materials from a few hundred kilometres around the site. Contemporary work inside a long Mexican tradition.
