AMBER CHARTER SCHOOL - INWOOD, NEW YORK, NY
Sometimes, we get technical and get to work on remediating the exterior envelope of a future charter school in the Inwood section of Manhattan, NY. It may seem mundane, but as the famous architect, Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) stated, “God is in the details”.
Congress Street - Jersey City
This compact, urban, corner house with a lot of presence, came with the challenge to maximize the use of allocated space. This will be the future home of a photographer and a chef so thoughtful design was paramount for the creative couple. The design process was a pleasure as this home will not be a “developer’s special” design and really focused on the needs of the clients. Contextus is involved with the architecture, interior design and assisting the client with General Contractor procurement. More to come as this project commences construction.
