Vintage Strata Tower Photos

STRATA TOWER POLAROID

Looking through an old hard drive, I came across these great Polaroid photos of a 3D printed model of the Strata Tower that we made while I was at Asymptote Architecture.

Super Barge Schematic Design

Super Barge

We recently presented these preliminary concept images of a floating restaurant, bar, and event space called Super Barge. While the renderings look somewhat developed, they are really just quick sketches to get an idea across. 

After a positive reception at our initial meetings, we spent a good bit of time researching the logistics and budget of fully developing the project. We're heading into a new round of development now, and looking forward to radically improving the design, particularly given the interesting possibilities we discovered while doing our homework.

Ecco Eco Los Angeles

Ecco Eco Los Angeles » Perspective Rendering

We recently finished the schematic design for another Ecco Eco project in LA. Like Ecco Eco NY, the building is intended to produce brand identity through the production of architecture that is sustainable, memorable, and proactive.

Integrating sustainable design elements into an ornamental patterned volume, the signature element of the building is a facade comprised of custom wind turbines that harness energy from passing winds as well as from wind produced by the building’s air displacement.

Ecco Eco

Ecco Eco New York is a redesign and renovation of an existing structure to house the offices of Ecco Eco, an environmental design initiative. Currently in the research and design phase, the building is intended to take advantage of sustainable energy sources while providing an iconic presence to the environmental brand. Combining environmental performance with graphic design, the signature element of the project is an intricate patterned facade comprised of custom parabolic solar panels and landscape elements that produce electricity and improve the urban air quality.
