Hospitality Gallery Slide Show
Hospitality projects cover restaurants and hotels. These projects are designed for efficiency in the back of house, i.e. kitchens and service areas. The front of house, i.e. lobbies, lounges, and dining rooms are designed to convey the ambience of the particular establishment, emphasizing the feeling of the menu or locale to provide a complete experience. The appropriate atmosphere and efficiency of operation are the key design elements to coordinate in any hospitality project.
Residential Gallery Slide Show
Residential projects range from individual multi-million dollar residences and condominiums, to large-scale developments and urban infill projects.

Familiarity with the client's style and needs informs the myriad decisions required to complete a project to the highest standards. Involvement can range from advice on specific choices to a complete package including furniture, fixture, and finish selections, millwork, design, and purchasing.
Residential Lift Gallery Slide Show
The New Jersey Coast has many Residential buildings that were flooded during Hurricane Sandy. Due to the high level of flood waters from the hurricane a new base flood plane was defined. Afterwards, a program was put into place to raise the existing residential buildings to the newly defined base flood elevation. We provided each client with an architectural design including a way to raise the existing residence; while staying within the provided budget constraints.
