  • Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity in Search of a Win-Win
    03.19.18 GIVING VOICE TO THOSE WHO CREATE WORKPLACE DESIGN & FURNISHINGS Pritzker Prize to Doshi, Designer for Humanity The 2018 Pritzker Prize, universally considered the highest honor for an architect, will be conferred this year on the 90-year- old Balkrishna Doshi, the first Indian so honored. The citation from the Pritzker jury recognizes his particular strengths by stating that he “has always created architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends.” The never-flashy-or-trendy message is another indication from these arbiters of design that our infatuation with exotic three-dimensional configurations initiated by Frank Gehry and Zaha Hadid – and emulated by numerous others – may have run its course.

  • The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies
    PO Box 199 Hudson, NY 12534-0199 518-828-1872 www.olana.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 20, 2016 The Olana Partnership Announces Summer Exhibition “Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House” An exhibition showcasing original concept sketches by 21 architects and landscape architects, inspired by Frederic Church’s OLANA June 20th, 2016, New York, NY: The Olana Partnership, in collaboration with the New York chapters of the American Institute of Architects (AIANY) and the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA-NY), is pleased to announce a design exhibition at Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Titled Follies, Function & Form: Imagining Olana’s Summer House, the exhibition unites noted architects and landscape architects and is curated by The Olana Partnership with guest co-curator Jane Smith, AIA, of Spacesmith. The exhibition addresses one of the great mysteries at Olana -- the Summer House – and it runs from August 14th through November 13th, 2016 in Olana’s Coachman’s House Gallery. Olana is the 250-acre creation of American landscape artist Frederic Church and exists in the birthplace of America’s first native art movement, the Hudson River School. Considered Frederic Church’s great masterpiece, Olana combines art, architecture, design and conservation ideals. In the 1886 “Plan of Olana,” a detailed blueprint of Church’s vision for his large-scale designed landscape, the plan’s details are largely accurate, yet it contains a structure labeled “Summer House”, which doesn’t exist today. Lacking documentary evidence to demonstrate the design and style of this structure, 21 architects and landscape architects were invited to participate in public interpretation at Olana.

  • MAKING IT PERSONAL a Creative Couple in Portland, Oregon Hired High-Profile Architect Brad Cloepfil to Renovate a Home Designed by Pietro Belluschi in the 1930S
    MAKING IT PERSONAL A creative couple in Portland, Oregon hired high-profile architect Brad Cloepfil to renovate a home designed by Pietro Belluschi in the 1930s. WHEN JOHN AND JANET JAY and their two sons moved to Portland, Oregon, from New York City in 1993, they weren’t looking for a midcentury-modern home. “We were thinking perhaps colonial or arts and crafts,” chuckles John, who is the executive creative director for Wieden + Kennedy advertising. But serendipity arrived courtesy of Diane von Furstenberg, with whom Janet—a developer of fragrances and cosmetics— was working at the time. (Together, the husband and wife team run Studio J, an interdisciplinary design salon.) “Diane told me, ‘I know someone there, and they just happen to be selling their house,’” Janet remembers. It turned out the home’s original architect, Italian-born Pietro Belluschi, was a pioneer of Northwest modernism, defined by its combination of clean lines and open spaces with warm, natural materials, particularly wood. He also designed the Portland Art Museum and the Juilliard School at Lincoln Center. Completed in 1937, the house the Jays bought showed the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright in its slivered-brick exterior, tall strips of windows and open floor plan. Nestled onto a sloping site, the U-shaped house wrapped around a small courtyard. The interiors were suffused with light, with each of the three principal wings (bedrooms, living area and dining room/kitchen) having windows on at least two sides. Still, the house needed work. A previous renovation had created a caricature of Belluschi’s original design: The curving bay window in the courtyard, for example, was replicated in other windows.

  • Eleven Madison Park to Open Renovated and Redesigned Home by Allied Works on October 8, 2017
    Eleven Madison Park to Open Renovated and Redesigned Home By Allied Works on October 8, 2017 Redesign of Iconic New York Institution Infuses Original Art Deco Aesthetic With Custom Designs Inspired by Textures and Forms of Madison Square Park New York City—August 29, 2017—On October 8, 2017, Eleven Madison Park opens the doors to its newly redesigned home, following a comprehensive renovation by Allied Works Architecture. Reflecting Allied Works’ commitment to innovative and eloquent design across scales, the project encompasses the entire restaurant—from the interior architecture of the dining room to the creation of custom furniture, tableware, and textiles. Developed in close collaboration with restauranteur Will Guidara and Chef Daniel Humm, the restaurant’s co-owners, the redesign serves to further elevate the dining experience of the Three Michelin star–restaurant, recently named the “World’s Best Restaurant.” “Our design aims to preserve and enhance the character and beauty of Eleven Madison’s historic space and to celebrate the ritual of dining at every level,” said Allied Works principal Brad Cloepfil. “Since I first met Will in 2008, I have watched his and Chef Daniel’s vision for the restaurant crystalize—the warmth and precise attention to detail that result from Will’s views of hospitality and Chef’s elemental approach to food, where brilliantly concise and clear flavors are amplified through juxtaposition. The renovated Eleven Madison Park draws on these defining traits to create a unified dining experience—from food to fork, atmosphere to architectural envelop—and reinforces the restaurant’s standing as a contemporary and timeless New York icon.” The renovation honors and enhances the original Art Deco design of the room, once the lobby of the landmark Metropolitan Life building, by preserving defining features and amplifying original detail, with entirely new designs in the dining realm—including custom tableware, seating designs, and hand-tufted rugs, all designed for the restaurant by Allied Works.
