NBC New York visited the recently completed lobby we designed at 575 Madison Ave for a story about NYC office buildings preparing for employees to return to the workplace. The bright and eye-catching lobby differentiates this skyscraper as companies sign new leases and bring employees back to the office. Link in bio.

Happy Earth Day! In 2020 Amenta Emma committed to the Architecture 2030 Challenge. We have made great progress over the past year with addressing sustainable strategies in our projects and within our offices. These include:

• Revamping our materials library to include predominately ‘mindful materials’ and red-list free options.
• Updating our in-office recycling initiatives as well as using the Terracycle program.
• Using Cove.tool to begin analyzing our projects as they pertain to daylighting, orientation, wall assemblies and mechanical systems to reduce the overall EUI (Energy Use Intensity) of what we design.
• Introducing sustainability-focused language into our programming documents to encourage clients to incorporate these concepts into their buildings.
• Entering the data from many of our previous buildings’ performance evaluations into a national database (DDX) to compare how our buildings function with similar projects around the nation.

We are proud of what we as a firm has accomplished so far, and are enthusiastic about the changes our professional community is making to achieve carbon neutrality.

The views from the new Canaan Parrish apartments are going to be amazing. Currently in construction, the design concept for the new development focuses on a central courtyard enclosed by two opposing L shaped 4 story apartment buildings with openings at the corners framing views to the lake and woodland beyond. Elegant overhangs at the roof give the building a friendly residential character and a stone base at the parking level helps to break down the scale and reduce the height.

This last day of #WomensHistoryMonth we are highlighting architect and urban planner Anne Lacaton who just last week, with her partner Jean-Philippe Vassal, was awarded the 2021 Pritzker Architecture Prize. They were applauded by the jury for “expanding the notion of sustainability to be understood as a real balance between its economic, environmental and social pillars. Their work has delivered through a variety of projects that actively address responsibility in these three dimensions.” Read their biography, jury comments, and understand more about the award at pritzkerprize.com/laureates
