59 EAST 59TH STREET THEATER COLLABORATION

As associate architect to uRED Architecture, we assisted in the design and executed contract documents for this theater complex on East 59th Street. The building contains a 199-seat theater, a 96-seat theater, and a small black box performance space. The project was notable for the unusually congested site and the extensive alterations to an existing building's structure in order to fit in the theaters and associated support and circulation spaces.

TEMPLE ISRAEL

USSA assisted M. Louis Goodman in the design of this new temple in a New England town. The building design references the wooden synagogues of Eastern Europe as well as the traditional gable roofed forms of New England. Local artists participated in the interior furnishing such as the custom ark designed by Michael Singer.

EAGLEBROOK ACADEMY

A New England private school's mixed use lecture hall/theater in an award winning 1970's modernist building was enlarged and renovated to accommodate the school's expanding enrollment and to provide for more flexible use. The project required removal of columns supporting the second floor library and the introduction of a 'story truss'. An horizontal enlargement was carefully detailed to match the original structure. As associate architect to Windigo Architects, PA, we assisted in design development, produced all construction documents as well as seeing the project through construction.

This congregation on the upper west side of Manhattan teamed with a developer to transform their property into a new worship space and a condominium tower. A second development team pursued a strategy of retaining and transforming the existing sanctuary building while retaining the idea of a new apartment building over the existing chapter house.
