Wallace K. Harrison Estate, AIA Long Island Archi-Award

Atop a hill on Long Island, architect Wallace K. Harrison in the early 1930s purchased land to design a house for his wife and himself. The Harrison Estate, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, represents the leading edge of the International Style. It has now undergone a complete restoration and expansion that honors Harrison’s original design intent while satisfying the needs of a 21st century family.

Wm. Farmer & Sons, AIA Peconic Honor Award

Nearly two centuries old, the historic structures housing Wm. Farmer and Sons in Hudson, New York were a strong inspiration for the design of the restaurant and bar’s aesthetic.

The architects found that there is a love of craft and the handmade in Hudson. The chef, Kirby forms relationships with local farmers for his food sources, and the architects did the same with local sources for materials and construction.
