“We spent about two years with Larry Kirkegaard’s office and Fisher Dachs. The owner of EMPAC wanted to create something of the quality of a forest clearing, and it led to this quest for a wall panel that would have the right character and acoustical properties. We found that with Adirondack. They’re really great with unusual fabrication.”

“Building Conservation Associates worked for Madison Square Garden, the client, and produced a detailed historic report on the Beacon Theater. These guys make a specialty of going to libraries and archives and digging up whatever material exists.”

“We needed custom software to allow visitors to build itineraries at the NYC Information Center, and transfer them to a phone or email them. Working with 3-D Laboratory, Local Projects put all the pieces together and made all the components talk to each other, and they designed what the interface looked like, too. The whole thing is like a PDA that happens to be something you can inhabit.”

“The 10,000-square-foot L Haus courtyard is bordered by the Long Island Expressway, the Pulaski Bridge, and it's above the subway. One idea behind its water feature was to create some ambient noise to cover that up. Phillip Porter was very helpful in terms of the geometry of the water feature’s levels. He would do hydraulic calculations according to the drop of each level and the quality of noise we were trying to achieve.”

“166 Perry was such a complicated project to get through the DOB and Landmarks, thanks to the zoning restrictions of the West Village. Metropolis Group was instrumental in that process, as well as helping tenants combine units and work through that.”

“Tukuru Technologies has come in and changed our lives. I know because I don’t hear about technology problems.”
