Every design begins with a diagram of intent. For Tarrytown, we initially mapped spatial boundaries through material contrast—using varied surface textures to anchor the progression from culinary fire to agricultural field. In execution, we adapted this concept into a monolithic self-leveling concrete floor across all three zones. To bring definition to this continuous canvas, we shifted the tactile narrative upward into custom millwork, tailored furniture, and overhead lighting. Warm timber joinery, raw steel detailing, and integrated seating now articulate each zone‘s identity, allowing the diagram’s original rhythm to remain clear while letting the concrete serve as a quiet, grounding background for the design.

In the coming days, we’ll share more as we anticipate the completion of the project - stay tuned!

The dining space unfolds as an inner sanctuary, gently illuminated by an existing skylight. Bathed in changing daylight, it becomes a place of stillness to enjoy fine food. Suspended above by metal grating, a curated canopy of plants—sourced from local growers and community members—was imagined as a floating garden, softening the space and quietly reminding us of the natural ecosystem we inhabit.

In anticipation of @tarrytown_local opening, we’re excited to share some of the early concepts and explorations that shaped the project.

A café-grocer is a unique hybrid — part local market, part dining — bringing together fresh produce, pantry staples, and freshly prepared food under one roof.

Rather than filling every inch with merchandise, we envisioned the grocery entry as a moment to slow down. A welcoming bench invites visitors to pause, enjoy a bite, and reconnect with the simple ritual of choosing everyday ingredients. Grocery shopping becomes more than a transaction — this is a small moment of gastronomic reflection.

Brezno light-filled interactive core
-
The new school establishes itself as the ‘new social hub’ of Brezno, enhancing community engagement and maintaining strong connections with the surrounding landscape and existing sports complex. Public atriums, a dynamic roofscape, and playscapes create vibrant gathering spaces. By weaving interactive volumes into light-filled modular classrooms, the design transforms the everyday school into a network of chance encounters and shared learning moments.

Doing some retrospection and gathering our thoughts on our 3 dwelling projects—each rooted in the quiet hope that architecture can bring people together to heal. Primitive structures as it derives from simple manipulation of known contextual forms into one that offers shelter, presence and possibility of renewal to those who inhabits it.

Lapping Details. The end tips are deliberately extended 2 inches on all sides to express the lapping of the square timber dowel.

As the new edition of Tijuana Design Week is around the corner, we look back at our installation ‘Two fold Encounter’ built in the hall of Cecut Cultural Center. Humbling to see the gravity of the permeable wall be the center of play, conversation and gathering.
