Creative Director /Sole Practitioner
99-2006 studioNOVA urban architecture design, boston
studioNOVA provided design services to clients with design needs in boston, primarily, while traveling for project work to Luca, Italy and Manhattan, USA. As Creative Director, I also directed a competition in collaboration with UV/Phactory for the New Egyptian Museum, Giza Plateau, Egypt.
All project work produced in the studio was programmed, master planned, conceptualized and designed through Preliminary,Schematic and Design development with all documents and details prepared and reviewed by the Director of Design. Each project built was prepared for construction, reviewed in the site and documented during Construction Administration by Andrew Guidry including shop drawings. All consultants and proprietary sub-contractors were chosen on a project by project basis by the Architect for their special skills that the General Contractor would not be able to provide to the project to insure project safety, quality and delivery.
The last project that I completed in the US was in New York City for Scott Sindorf, owner of UVPhactory (UVPH).Two years earlier Scott and I collaborated on The Grand Egyptian Museum project, an Architectural Competition rendering the final images for the first stage of submission. Although we were unsuccessful in succeeding onto the final stage of the competition, my collaboration with UVPH subsequently continued when I designed and reviewed the construction of their new Animation work space in Manhattan.
UVPH, an award-winning motion design, visual effects and production company has a portfolio ranging from commercial ventures, including logo design for US telecommunications corporation, AT&T, to broadcasts and commercials for major US Television networks and music video clips for popular artists, including Wu Tang Clan, Lady Gaga and Bjork. The work space design created for the studio – a “think tank concept”, uses the economy of spatial rapport, featuring one long curved wall to communicate a DESIGN environment that is both transparent and flexible, to provide access to technology while accommodating formal and informal meeting spaces. The scope of design for this project included the manufacturing of 3 new types of ceiling pendant- light fixtures, all furniture: work surfaces, reception desk, cast-on-site bathroom sink, built- ins and café stool prototypes. Finish Veneer plywood was used for the construction and furniture, site laminated and finished in several ways, stained and painted.
