ABERCROMBIE & FITCH BUILDING U
Building U is the new home for the Data Center and related functions. The southern end of the building is the front façade and main entry to the IT department housed on the second and third floors. The Mailroom shares the shipping and receiving area adjacent to the exterior equipment hidden from view in the north eastern corner of the buildable site.
SHERLE WAGNER LA SHOWROOM
The first SW Showroom on the West Coast expresses a new way to see an established brand. Traditional displays are balanced by a new unexpected way to view the Sherle Wagner product line. A garden with water cascading on marble sinks carved from the front façade is balanced by a conventional bathroom display with a prominent custom light fixture of SW cherubs, towel bars and fittings. The interior space showcases the product by presenting the objects as art in a gallery like atmosphere under the wallpaper weave ceiling above. The burnt wood cladding on the one story stucco building presents the front entrance and connects the private garden entry for clients.
WRITERS BLOCK
An empty neighborhood lot was transformed for one summer into a temporary public park of “follies” designed by various architects assigned to a writer, in this case, Fran Lebowitz. Reflecting her writing in an essay titled “Things” in The Fran Lebowitz Reader, the recycled wooden pallet structure protected the visitor from the surrounding invading nature while providing shade from the harsh natural light “that is so unflattering to the heavy smoker,” a comfortable chair and an ashtray floor. The folly was disassembled and found a new home in upstate NY.
ABERCROMBIE & FITCH COVERED PORCH
The glass façade of the expanded Conference Room expresses the campus culture of transparency.
Anthropomorphic HVAC ducts enliven this found space with its re-used wood decking and open, airy characteristics of the original porch. The adjacent meeting room’s former exterior window openings provide a connection to the new Conference Room which can be closed off with sliding display grids. The meeting room is retrofitted with a new wooden platform for seating to enhance visibility and participation.
HOME
A simple shed addition to a 1940s Cape Cod house borrows the straightforward language of its counterpart and elevates it with sophisticated architectural details. The addition connects expanded family and entertaining spaces to the landscape and introduces a new master bedroom suite to the first floor. The centrally located kitchen aligns with an outdoor kitchenette and ipe-slatted deck, extending the entertaining space across the landscape. Flanking the kitchen, the new family room and screened porch’s angular, vaulted ceilings playfully engage the space. Traditional building components and finishes are thoughtfully placed on unexpected surfaces and in unconventional patterns and quantities. Inside, sentimental objects are interlaced with new architectural details. Together, the array of selected interior finishes weaves the old and new into a visually intricate, lived-in space.
ABERCROMBIE & FITCH DC1 RENOVATION
The interior redesign of the distribution center was driven by its growing and relocated departments. With tight constraints due to clearance requirements of adjacent warehouse machinery, the existing office was reconfigured to include additional offices, conference rooms and workstations. The strategic placement of new interview rooms serves to divide offices from the public entry and provides interstitial spaces for the job applicants by the reception area. Moving the conference room, formerly located along an exterior wall, gives the new workstations access to natural daylight and views to the outdoors.
