Crosstown Arts formed in 2010 with the intent of developing an arts centered micro-city in the then dormant 1,500,000 square foot Crosstown Sears tower - now known as the award winning Crosstown Concourse. Their space anchors the renewed 1927 art deco tower with 40,000 SF of galleries, studios, art making facilities, offices, performance space, full commercial kitchen, cafe, and art bar.

Crosstown Arts formed in 2010 with the intent of developing an arts centered micro-city in the long abandoned 1,500,000 square foot Crosstown Sears tower - now known as the award winning Crosstown Concourse.

Working with Crosstown Arts vision of a bar and vegan restaurant and catering component to support their artist-in-residence program and community arts focus, we designed a split concept serving a variety of spaces around a ten story atrium at the center of a hypostyle hall. The cafe - Today & Always, Memphis - is open to the atrium with custom furniture and casework and a full service kitchen focused on innovative and vegan meals. The cafe’s functions center around collective meals served daily to local and international artists participating in the artist-in-residence program.

The art bar sits across the atrium, next door to the Listening Room performance space. The bar and booths are defined by a series of custom maple arches that respond to the building’s Art Deco and mid-century history. The bar itself is a custom acrylic and solid-surface top designed to showcase flat art, as well as a custom routed wood front. Past the bar one enters a series of nooks that make up the front of the original 1927 tower. We left these spaces raw, retaining a bit of the magic and intrigue of the original abandoned spaces.

Transformed a cozy but dated cabin to a bright, comfortable, organic space that embraces the mellow Venice vibes. The renovation includes a full interior rework as well as a cantilevered bedroom and porch addition that provides covered parking. A redesigned front yard extends the private living space into the exterior to create a home that lives much larger than its 1300 SF.

The Elysian Heights site sits on a ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains in LA. To the east the house looks over Elysian Park and Dodger Stadium; to the west: DTLA, Hollywood, and the Griffith Observatory. Working hand in hand with the client, we worked to develop practical but generous spaces that offer full respect to the incredible views that the site demands.

The Urban Architecture studio was tasked with transforming a 70,000 square foot hospital built in 1989 into a new Admissions Center and academic offices. Additionally, two concrete vaults used for radiation treatment provided a unique opportunity for JMU to establish the Madison Accelerator Laboratory as a component of the Physics & Astronomy Department.

A local developer envisioned an efficient multi-family scheme across a complex sloping site in Richmond’s historic Fulton Hill neighborhood. The design took inspiration from the adjacent 1916 Robert Fulton School, now an arts centered development which overlooks the neighborhood from high on Fulton Hill. The design sought to begin restoring presence to a long forgotten and overgrown cobblestone avenue, a poignant reminder of the disastrous Urban Renewal efforts of the 1970s.

Working with developer Hollyport Ventures, we renovated and expanded a fire damaged 1938 brick residence into a LEED Platinum home for the modern family to grow into the future. Inspired by the simplicity of the iconic Cape Cod, we mirrored the home’s original massing to create all new living spaces, and utilized a contemporary connector to join the old and new. As the first home in Richmond to be recognized LEED Platinum, it set the standard in Richmond for an adaptable, low energy, and low maintenance future. Other features include advanced energy saving framing techniques, a geothermal heat pump, and rainwater harvesting for flushing toilets.
