Atema Architecture

Chris reviewing construction details with our builders from Figure Ground at our #westsidehighwaytownhouse project. A big part of delivering a successful project is tight communication and collaboration with the people building it, to make sure the vision we develop with the client is realized at every level. We put a big focus on that part of the process, and love capturing opportunities that often present themselves and might be missed if we weren’t on site regularly and ge...tting feedback from the builders. #moderntownhouse . . . . . . . . . . . #nyctownhouse #architecture #urbanliving #interiordesign @eocengineers @ninaseirafidesign @figuregroundny See more

Light and materiality: a linear wall-grazing light fixture highlights the subtle texture of a Bisazza glass mosaic tile wall, while Circa’s Aerin Agnes pendant fixture echoes both the shape of the Falper Scoop tub and the color of the natural brass tub fixtures at our #w9thsttownhouse project. . . . .... . . . . . . . #nyctownhouse #townhousedesign #architecture #modernarchitecture #godisinthedetails #modernbathroom #bathroomdesign #sustainabledesign See more

We love going deep into our details. Here, a Rapsel Ofuro tub sits on a subtly-carved slab of Statuario marble that precisely mirrors the outline of the tub and can catch any water that might spill, recessed into a Carrara marble hexagonal tile floor. Our Waterworks .25 tub filler was left to age by the beach for several weeks prior to installation to develop the right patina. And the custom walnut vanity floating next to the tub has recessed brass plates in the finger pulls... to echo the brass fixtures. #w9thsttownhouse project. . . . . . . . . . . #nyctownhouse #townhousedesign #architecture #modernarchitecture #godisinthedetails #modernbathroom #bathroomdesign #sustainabledesign See more

Sunset over the downtown skyline beyond the reception area of The Nature Conservancy’s new NY offices. With open views in every direction, a couple big openings we carved between floors, and a wrap-around terrace at the top of the stairs, this is perhaps the most light-flooded space we’ve had the pleasure to design. . . . .... . . . . . @nature.ny #officedesign #workplacedesign @nature_org #modernoffice #sustainableoffice #greenoffice #daylight #urbangardening #staircase #urbancomposting #urbantrees #ficusamstel #fsccertified #interiorarchitecture See more

Whitewashed FSC pine plywood panels clad one of the Boxes that float in the open loft office to define space, create separation between work areas, and house shared spaces like meeting rooms and phone booths at The Nature Conservancy’s new NY offices. Beyond the staircase a two-story ficus amstel tree grows out of a massive planter integrated into the reception desk, reflecting the great work TNC is doing to promote urban trees. . . . .... . . . . . . @nature.ny #officedesign #workplacedesign @nature_org #modernoffice #sustainableoffice #greenoffice #daylight #urbangardening #staircase #urbancomposting #urbantrees #ficusamstel #fsccertified #interiorarchitecture See more
