Congratulations to TTC Partner Simeon Seigel on his latest crossword puzzle in The New York Times!

This marks Simeon's 23rd crossword for the Times, including four Sunday puzzles. In his introduction to the puzzle, Will Shortz noted "...When I mentioned that the inventor of Sudoku, Howard Garns, was also an architect, Simeon replied that the same is true for the inventor of Scrabble, Alfred Butts, and Ernö Rubik, of cube fame — architects all. Creative design and game inventing must attract similar sorts of people."

We're inclined to agree!

Find Simeon's puzzle in this past Sunday's New York Times." -

As we prepare to share a closer look at our completed Upper West Side Townhouse renovation, we're taking a look back at some of the transformations that brought the project to life.

From a reimagined staircase and rear facade to new outdoor living spaces and a completely transformed cellar, these before-and-after views offer a glimpse of just how much has changed.

More from the finished project coming soon.

Could a 2,000-foot residential supertall rise in NoMad?

TTC Partner James Saisakorn, RA explores that possibility in a new guest contribution to Romain Sinclair’s NY Multifamily Newsletter, using a theoretical Midtown South site to examine how recent zoning changes could reshape what’s possible for residential development in New York City.

Our founder Wayne Turett recently returned from Austin, where he joined frequent TTC collaborator and lighting designer Peiheng Tsai, along with fellow architect and builder Rosario Mannino, for a visit to Lutron Electronics to learn more about their Ketra lighting system.

Of course, you can’t send an architect to Austin without a little architectural sightseeing. Wayne visited the Blanton Museum of Art, including Ellsworth Kelly’s Austin, taking in the architecture, art, light, and color along the way.

Whether it’s learning about the latest developments in lighting technology or simply experiencing great architecture and design firsthand, there’s always inspiration to be found outside the studio.

The transformation at our Shelter Island project is beginning to come into focus.

With drywall nearly complete, we're getting our first real look at just how dramatically the original house has been reimagined. New double-height spaces at the entry foyer and dining area introduce an entirely different sense of scale, while details like the “upside-down” stair give the architecture a more sculptural character.

Other elements are still being worked through on site. Circular skylights will be illuminated at night, with a ring of light designed to graze the surrounding ceiling, an effect we're currently testing with a mockup. In the primary bath, exposed Zehnder America, Inc. ERV exhaust tubing offers a glimpse of the high-performance systems that will eventually disappear behind the finished walls.

An outdoor greenhouse addition, transformed into a home office.

This rooftop enclosure offered incredible East River views, but it was never designed to be fully integrated with the apartment's interior. It was minimally insulated, difficult to weatherproof, prone to overheating, and built against an exterior brick wall that still needed to shed water onto the roof below the greenhouse floor.

Low ceilings created another challenge. With no room for conventional pendant or recessed fixtures, discreet track lighting was mounted directly to the existing greenhouse structure, providing flexible illumination without making the space feel lower. Exterior-grade finishes were detailed for an interior setting, porcelain flooring was selected to match the wood floors throughout the apartment, and efficient environmental controls made the room comfortable year-round.

These photos follow the project from the original greenhouse, through construction, to the finished office, showing how each design decision responded to the unique constraints of the existing space.

Sometimes the biggest design decisions happen in the spaces between buildings.

At our recently completed Park Slope Townhouse project, where a historic townhouse and carriage house meet in a unique L-shaped configuration, the challenge wasn't simply connecting two buildings. It was bringing natural light deep into the center of the home while preserving the character of both structures.

The answer became a ribbon skylight: a narrow glazed link that bridges the two buildings while drawing daylight through the heart of the project.

This carousel follows that idea from the site's earliest days, through demolition, structural work, and masonry restoration, to the completed space. Some of our favorite moments aren't just the finished photographs, but seeing an idea gradually take shape as steel, brick, and glass come together.

There was palpable excitement as TTC's Jim Saisakorn and Jessica Shaw walked through the site of our 32 Walker Condominium project.

From the custom light installation in the entrance gallery and soaring ceiling heights to new windows in the historic cast-iron arched openings, boxes of Molteni&C cabinetry awaiting placement, and panoramic views from the roof terrace, every detail offered another glimpse of what's to come.

An impromptu huddle with our partners at First Standard Construction was a reminder that projects like this are shaped through close collaboration and countless thoughtful decisions. Seeing those ideas take physical form on site is one of the most rewarding stages of the design process.

With summer in full swing, we're revisiting an outdoor pool and lounge project completed for a longtime client in Water Mill.

The project was conceived as a series of distinct yet connected spaces for relaxing, entertaining, dining, and spending long days outdoors. Soft, upholstered furnishings, a bright, inviting palette, and carefully selected pieces extend the comfort of the home's interiors outdoors.

Designed for family life as much as entertaining, the space balances comfort, flexibility, and ease, creating an environment that invites people to settle in and enjoy the season.

A look back at the transformation of our Tribeca Condos project.

These behind-the-scenes moments capture the process of reimagining a historic corner of Walker Street—carefully restoring the building’s iconic cast-iron facade while introducing contemporary residences designed for modern living.

Now nearing completion, it's rewarding to reflect on the craftsmanship, collaboration, and attention to detail that brought this vision to life. From construction progress to finished spaces filled with natural light and sweeping city views, every step played a role in shaping the final result.
