Studio interests range from competitions to furniture to building to urban design, with an emphasis on the tectonic. Projects include a steel house for a metal fabricator, a sculptor’s studio in concrete, the Outpost Video Residency in Queens, and a windmill-powered off-grid country house for two psychoanalysts. Winner of CFA/AIANY 2008 New Practices Competition.
