The design maximizes exhibition space, allows for natural light and creates continuity with the street as well as integrates an outdoor courtyard / multi purpose space. The gallery design balances the idea of a “white cube” while retaining the inherent qualities of the existing concrete building structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112116043-2XBOYN8NMCBLWQ71HJ8W/2_gallerystairs2.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Art Gallery: Lombard Freid - 19th Street Main Gallery This project for new exhibition spaces for internationally recognized Lombard Freid Projects gave the art gallery a new street level presence in the Chelsea art district in New York City.

An axial connection from the main gallery space through the project/video room to the rear courtyard space was established. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112133036-KZUSIP3TFXLV4PUFWDNQ/8_gallery7.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - The Perspective Concept An eye level focal point was established on the exterior wall of the courtyard, which was used as the generator for the geometry in both plan & section of the spaces. All elements of the main gallery, reception desk, corridor and secondary gallery are controlled by this vanishing point. This is achieved through the sloping and canting of surfaces and in the subtlety of the lighting design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112123403-XG4ZF48T2OKCCQFWGQDU/3_gallerystairs3.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Main Gallery Ceiling The ceiling of the main exhibition space slopes up to meet the existing curtain wall maximizing the northern daylight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112117091-NCWPA9S3HQKFXU0Z99K2/1_gallerystairs1.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Entry Steps The space was a core and shell fit out in a new residential building in the Chelsea art district in New York City. New entry steps with glass and metal railings were carefully designed to not detract from the main exhibit space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112137915-UA3OL8L07I7NP8X3MA9R/7_gallery9.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Daylight & Street Presence The north facing storefront facade was not obscured in order to gain maximum street presence for the gallery and capture the northern sky daylight. In order to take full advantage of the existing tall glass facade, the gallery ceiling slopes up to meet the storefront framing system. Track lighting and linear air diffuser are integrated seamlessly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112138087-K55ETM9Z0VLF5LAI3NGJ/9_hallway4.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Reception The Reception wall and soffit along with the heavy timber countertop are canted to follow the organizing perspective lines established. Lighting track and perimeter slot air diffusers meet and are carefully detailed to follow the geometry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112121812-5N3MSOWTBH8EE92CASU7/4_gallery2.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Main Exhibition Space   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112144881-9DFWG58HYTP8UW36C0CP/10_backgallery1.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Project Room The Project Room design resolves it's geometry around a structural column and exterior doors to the courtyard. This animates the ceiling design. The full height sliding frosted glass door demises the project room from the reception ans main gallery areas when needed. The guiding perspective lines are etched on the frosted glass so that when the door is closed the perspective continues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112142234-VJO85E1X8TKZCCXKY7MI/11_Gallery_Plan_Section.jpg Art Gallery: Lombard Freid 19th St. - Plan and Section Concept The project includes gallery offices, art registration and storage space.

With a sloping floor and angled walls the repository for the objects has both an angled base and level "table" section in which simple wood boxes act as the containers for the objects. As objects are collected, boxes are inserted into the table. The table section is also oriented on axis with compass north as an orientation device- causing a shift against the center of the project room space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1467417870223-XPPURNHYFGTU71LQ86XP/3_moma.jpg The Tourist Project MoMA NY Visitors to the installation look through the top of the table section, through glass into the object boxes.

Visitors are invited to sit on the sloping base of the central unit to view the videos. Upon leaving the exhibition, visitors are left with an enhanced sense of the city around them through the personal interactions of two people and the individual points of view documented and celebrated in the installation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112310465-HSQO93ZGHUVM6J7DVZWP/3_moma.jpg The Tourist Project MoMA NY The project installation was designed in close collaboration with Lee Mingwei and fabricator, Eric Sparks. http://www.stephanfreidstudio.com/new-gallery-2 daily 0.75 2016-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112162999-R2W8ZZHWNZY3N0CLOSJ5/1_SP_9043.jpg Spa at Buttermilk Falls Inn - Spa at Buttermilk Falls Inn This project for a full service spa is located on the grounds of the Buttermilk Falls Inn along the Hudson River in Milton, NY.

The letter writing stations transform an otherwise frenetic urban environment into a contemplative sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112270138-HKACEVFW7Q832KNBG5RY/3_letterwriting.jpg The Letter Writing Project Whitney Museum - Seated & Kneeling Positions The letter writing stations are positioned in the subdued light of the museum gallery. Visitors are drawn to the lantern-like illuminated writing stations with the silhouettes of previously written letters and perhaps someone writing a letter within the translucent glass walls. Inside each station is a table with writing paper, envelopes and a pen. There are three booths, each with a table at different heights accommodating standing, sitting or kneeling postures. These correspond to the three meditative positions of Ch’an Buddhism and to the sentiments of gratitude, insight and forgiveness. Letters are placed in holders on the translucent walls and are displayed for visitors to read. They accumulate and are mailed regularly by the artist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112280384-DHVNSGRSO3XJP8FD1JNT/4_letterwriting.jpg The Letter Writing Project Whitney Museum - Letters in holders for mailing Letters are placed in holders on the translucent walls and are displayed for visitors to read.

The planter box penetrates the window wall with plantings blurring inside and out. The structural column with its flaring top is interpreted as a tree via the use of tromp l'oeil painting with the elliptical solid walnut bench around the "tree" all recalling a traditional english garden.

The highway was condemned but remained in place for eight years as an industrial ruin. The structure however was to have a second life. Along with the derelict shipping piers on the Hudson River waterfront, the highway structure was reclaimed by the neighboring communities as an elevated urban promenade.

Pedestrians were able to access the highway level via the original vehicular access ramps. The structure afforded panoramic views of the river. This proposal was to create a proper terminus for this new promenade. The terminus is disconnected from the highway acting as a symbolic gatehouse and destination, creating a focal point along the promenade. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421112472565-IHAQBMRFHP2LET4QHI0N/3_WSH.jpg West Side Highway - West Side Highway Terminus The structure is in the shape of a modern ceremonial archway where the actual path to the street is through a modest stairway. The structure itself will provide community meeting and gathering spaces as well as an observation point viewing the extent of the Hudson River waterfront.

The house sitting and form respond to natural forces: light, sound, view, color and water. The house allows the site to pass through it. The natural experience is always present Form and Experience The site lines and anchor point organizing the geometry were defined by staking the ground to map the critical view axes. This resulted in a house geometry of two simple skewed volumes each aligned at optimal orientation to the views. The resulting spaces act as independent viewing stations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1467335932669-KOQMW62PTQC3OGT24T7Q/13_YH_drawingA_301.jpg Askew House The living room, in the major shape, is oriented towards the river with an upward sloping ceiling. The room opens onto a garden roof terrace, which merges into the surrounding land. The terrace is interrupted by an earth beam, which slopes down to connect to the lower level of the sloped site. The dining and sitting areas are in the second more intimate shape, oriented to the west, towards the brook. The dining area, enclosed in glass, views the waterfall. The sunken sitting area is defined by low walls and a fireplace, creating an intimate space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54a98b70e4b0d44c75650db6/1421111099086-Y4C5J0MIBAIJ6KIG1E7L/12_YH_drawingA_302.jpg Askew House The landscaped bluestone entry path passes through the house acting as a connector of the two main forms knitting them into a whole and bringing the exterior inside.
