The dramatic foyer, featuring black and white chair and picture rail detailing, black and white diamond checkerboard marble tile flooring, and a stunning brass and crystal chandelier set in a Gothic tracery ceiling with recessed cove lighting, provides a truly breathtaking entryway to the home.

The custom millwork in the kitchen and media room is in place, awaiting brass pulls and the installation of stone countertops, which were templated last week. Bathrooms are 95% complete, with only the shower glass, a stone bench top, and saddles left to be installed. The existing wood flooring will be refinished and stained a rich dark chocolate brown, and custom window shutters, along with glass for the kitchen’s illuminated pantry, will be added as we wrap up all the finishing touches, including furnishings!

Stay tuned for updates as we finish work on this beautiful space, and a big thanks to the entire team at StudioTEKA for going the extra mile for our client!

This beautiful home, rich with period details from the late 1800s, also features the classic Brooklyn stoop and is bathed in natural light, situated on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps away from shopping and the park. We are honored to work with our lovely newlywed clients to help them create a beautiful new chapter in this historic space. With plenty of creative ideas already in the mix, we’re diving into documentation and preliminary design to bring this vision to life.

The café’s theme, featuring super saturated teal hues with a Lord of the Rings twist, is truly captivating. With high exposed ceilings, long Edison pendants, faux beams, gold accents, and two comfy leather Chesterfield sofas, it’s the perfect spot to relax with a book and a cup of tea. It was fantastic to catch up and celebrate her success over an iced chai latte and a delicious sticky bun, freshly made in the commercial kitchen we designed from scratch.

These are the moments we cherish most as architects and designers at Studioteka—seeing our clients successfully bring their visions to life and knowing we played a part in that journey. We’re honored to have contributed to Georgia’s success, and if you haven’t already, be sure to visit Elevenses pastry café at 31-05 35th Avenue in Astoria to enjoy their amazing homemade delicacies!

Our talented students were challenged to design innovative climate devices aimed at addressing the climate crisis and to envision inspiring climate futures for two distinct sites: the bustling metropolis of São Paulo and Aldeia Shukuvena, a vibrant Indigenous community nestled in the rainforest of Acre, Brazil.

A huge thank you to our brilliant students, fantastic jury, fellow instructors, and our co-creators and collaborators—together, the sky’s the limit when it comes to shaping a sustainable future!

]]> TBC Apartments: Revitalizing Urban Voids https://studioteka.com/2019/07/tbc-apartments-revitalizing-urban-voids/ Thu, 25 Jul 2019 21:43:00 +0000 https://studioteka.com/?p=5654 The TBC Apartments are designed to address the ‘missing teeth’ in the urban fabric, transforming empty lots into dynamic spaces. StudioTEKA sees these vacant urban lots as prime opportunities for innovation. By integrating these voids into the project, we enhance the urban environment with natural light, vertical connectivity, and diverse spatial programming. This approach reclaims and revitalizes underutilized spaces, offering new potential and vitality to the surrounding cityscape.
