PAST PROJECTS...

• Over the years PMWArchitects has designed a range of commercial interiors, galleries, and residential homes in NYC and along the East Coast.

THE PLAN...

• The relationship between user and building is critical. It is this “idealized” interaction that both determines and is determined by design decisions. Although in the final analysis, the plan conceived for the user is unlikely to be performed “perfectly”, it is the certain that the success of an architecture will be judged by the degree of variance between the intended “plan” and its actual performance and experience. There is not a correct or incorrect architecture; there is only that which stirs the spirit less or more.

MATERIALS...

• Wood, Metal, Glass, and Stone (Ceramics) are typically juxtaposed and detailed in space within an off-white envelope. Their natural patina and reflectivity provide color and warmth relegating “painted” surfaces to a secondary role. The materials are further encoded by the detailing (within, on, over, under, adjacent to, etc. one another) to specify notions of formality/informality; public/private; dark/light but, perhaps, most importantly: here/there.
