GROWING UP IN AN ENTREPRENEURIAL FAMILY; A SENSE OF PROPRIETORSHIP AND DEDICATION HAS BEEN INGRAINED IN HIM FROM A YOUNG AGE. THAT DETERMINATION HAS CARRIED OVER THROUGH HIS PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS AND IS DEMONSTRATED NOT ONLY IN HIS BODY OF WORK, BUT IN HIS ABILITY TO BUILD LONG-LASTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CLIENTS AND COLLEAGUES, ALIKE.

MACDONOUGH APARTMENTS -8 UNIT GUT RENOVATIONNEW AMSTERDAM DESIGN ASSOCIATESDEC 2015, PROJECT MANAGER MacDonough is multi-family building with a Beaux Arts inspired façade built in 1900. Having suffered much deterioration, NADA took the challenge of restoring the building’s original details and inserting a contemporary redesign within the historic shell. The apartments’ lofty 12 foot ceilings were emphasized with details like floating kitchen cabinets on a backdrop of stacked subway tiles, a bathroom feature mirror extending from counter to ceiling, and diagonally laid wide-plank white oak floors. The lobby features high gloss black molding and ceiling that mirror the bright white walls. Brass fixtures populate the building and further emphasis links between the new renovation and restored Beaux Arts charm.

LAS VEGAS HAS EARLY-ON REALIZED THE UNIMPORTANCE OF MONUMENTALITY. THEY TORE IT APART, MINIMIZED IT AND CHEAPLY IMITATED THEM TO DECORATE NEW PALACES FOR THE NOUVEAU RICHE. LAS VEGAS, COMMERCIALIZED ICONIC MONUMENTS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AS THEY HAVE NO SIGNIFICANT VALUE ANY LONGER.

CULTURE, ART AND WEALTH CHANGE ONLY FEW HANDS; THOSE OF THE MEGA RICH. VEGAS IS KNOWN TO BE A PLAYGROUND FOR ADULTS, BUT AS MARKETS INDICATE, LAS VEGAS IS LOSING ITS CACHE AND REVENUES HAVE STEADILY DECLINED SINCE 1990. ART MARKETS, HOWEVER, HAVE NOT ONLY SKYROCKETED; ART SALES HAVE CONTINUED TO BREAK RECORDS SEASON AFTER SEASON.

ART FAIRS EXHIBIT BETTER AND BIGGER ART THAN MUSEUMS, AUCTIONS HAVE BECOME THE NEW GAMBLING ARENAS. BOTH MUSEUMS AND CASINOS HAVE FAILED WHILE ART FAIRS BECOME THE NEW MUSEUM AND AUCTIONS HAVE BECOME CASINOS FOR THE MEGA RICH.

L.V.A.C. BLURS THE LINES OF CONNOISSEURSHIP AND INVESTMENT BY CREATING A HYBRIDIZED MUSEUM, AUCTION HOUSE, ENTERTAINMENT ARENA, AND ART FAIR THEREBY CREATING; A CASINO ON STEROIDS.

IN HOPES OF RECTIFYING URBAN FOOD DESERTS SUCH AS EAST HARLEM, COW CITY CREATES A SELF-SUSTAINING COMMUNITY AIMED AT FOOD EDUCATION AND CULTIVATION.

BY GIVING RESIDENTS A VIEW OF THE “HAPPY VALLEY” OUR ARTIFICIAL MOUNTAIN SERVES TO RE-CONNECT RESIDENTS WITH FOOD CULTIVATION AND PRODUCTION.

ALIGNING THE SCHEDULES OF HUMAN AND BOVINE ACTIVITY, AN INTERPLAY OCCURS CREATING AWARENESS OF LIVESTOCK AND THE MACABRE NATURE OF BEEF PRODUCTION.

RETURNING TO A PRACTICAL PRIMITIVE WAY OF LIFE, COW CITY AIMS ARE CREATING A TENSION WITH MEAT CONSUMPTION. CAN HOUSING SERVE AS A CATALYST OF CHANGE FOR THE AMERICAN DIET?

THE LOS ANGELES GAY AND LESBIAN CENTER SEEKS AN ICON OF INCLUSIVENESS AND SOCIAL MIXING THAT INCORPORATES MULTI GENERATIONAL HOUSING, ELDERLY HOUSING AND YOUTH CENTER AND ENTERTAINMENT WITHIN ONE CAMPUS.

BY SAMPLING SITES OF SPECTACLE (ICONS) OF LOS ANGELES,OUR CENTER SERVES AS A SOCIAL MIXER ATTRACTING HETERONORMATIVE COMMUNITIES WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NEVER STEP FOOT IN AN LGBT CENTER.

WE AIM TO REMOVE THE STIGMA OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH GAY AND LESBIAN SHELTERS AND THROUGH THE SURVIVAL MECHANISM OF “PASSING,” CREATE AN OPEN AND SAFE ENVIRONMENT WHERE SPACES OF ENTERTAINMENT AND REVELRY DISTRACT AND SEDUCE USERS.

TWO CONSTANTS SYNONYMOUS WITH L.A. ARE THE AUTOMOBILE AND HOLLYWOOD. SITE CONDITIONS SHOW THAT THE SURROUNDING AREA IS 58% PARKING, THE STREETS THAT PEDESTRIANS AND CARS SUPPOSEDLY SHARE ARE DOMINATED BY MOTOR VEHICLES.

EMBRACING THESE CONDITIONS, WE LET THE CAR BE THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE DESIGN.
