The Collective’s team structure results in highly creative and successful work, as exemplified by our firm’s reputation and receipt of major industry awards and accolades. Intrinsic to our practice culture is the total integration of social and environmental stewardship. We believe that sustainability and successful commerce are not only compatible but inseparable.

About Us the collective

The Edinburgh College of Art Evolution House The Edinburgh University Edinburgh Scotland, UK Administration and teaching facility

This project uses design to convey ECA’s philosophy of a transparency of communication, accessibility, and collaborative learning. The architectural design manifests the projects goals through the careful use of planning, lighting and material selections, as well as by delivering a cohesive and inspirational learning experience.

The Edinburgh College of Art Connector Bridge

As part of the new master plan for the ECA, a “connector bridge” was required to link the new Evolution House to the ECA’s main building and Art College. In the heart of the historic city center, the connector is lightly inserted into the overall campus, framing views of the Edinburgh castle and providing a connection with the main building on campus. The connector also provides an interactive platform for student work, display and experimentation. Here students can replace and reconfigure parts of the material enclosure to allow for exploration and expression of art, design and architecture.

The Edinburgh University Edinburgh, Scotland, UK Master Plan and Design

A first for Mohawk, this flagship showroom was designed to host seven significant and distinct carpet and flooring brands. Acknowledging that “carpet is king,” all design inspiration was drawn from flooring materials, manufacturing process and accouterments. The design concept uses the metaphor of a carpet roll unfurling with the two cylindrical volumes designated as Reception and a shared meeting space connecting the two ends of the floor.

Flagship Showroom

With spectacular four-sided views the showroom enjoys a strong Southern exposure. The curtain (made from carpet backing material) is both functional and metaphorical and acts as the connector weaving through all carpet brands.

We use innovation and tradition to create a finely balanced sense of beauty, meaning and function. This aids to improve quality of life and well being

This holistic, 3 million square foot, interior work environment posi t ioned future forward was developed to focus around the integrat ion of work, f i tness, and relaxation into one vertical campus setting, representing current cultural shifts in the workplace. With the intention of improving the quality of life for their employees, incorporated was a hotel and spa along with a state of the art sports club, child care and retail as part of this corporate office project.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Interactive Sculptural Installation

With the integration of art and science, “E-motion” is an interactive sculptural installation designed to ‘mark’ the science museum. The sculpture actively changes from day to night. E-Motion has become a commanding symbol for the Carnegie Science Center in the city of Pittsburgh.

New York, NY Education & Performing Arts Center

Programmed for a school from k-12th grade and a performing arts facility, this project will become a vital nucleus for the community. Exploring experiential learning methodologies and state of the art “black box” classrooms, the project utilizes natural light and architecture to promote optimal learning in the urban city context.

Boys & Girls Harbor Concept

Our environments are the repositories of our memories and the containers of our dreams, aspirations, wants and needs. They are reflections of us, our society, our culture and our time.

Bringing history into the present, images of Baxter’s heritage are brought to life with modern materiality and exhibition design process. This project emphasizes an educational user experience, both throughout the site and within the buildings and its amenities, all the while making the rich Baxters history “come alive” through out the site and context

NY S ta te Cap i to l Albany, NY Restoration & Renovation Master Plan Award Winning Project

The New York State Capitol Building in Albany was built between 1867 and 1899. The State of New York recognized the need for a comprehensive, multi-year restoration and renovation effort. A thorough multi-volume historic structures report was undertaken documenting the history, physical development, and current conditions of the entire building followed by the preparation of a masterplan. This program outlined areas to be restored versus rehabilitated. Priorities were established and preliminary scopes of work were assembled for the efforts designated. With the work and priorities indentified, cost projections were prepared for a five year program.

Restoration & Renovation

Woolworth Building New York, NY Restoration Winner of Numerous Awards

The building, completed in 1913, has an innovative steel frame and is clad with some 400,000 square feet of white and polychrome terra cotta. The restoration of the exterior terra cotta cladding commenced with the development of stress relieving techniques. Every second horizontal joint along the entire width of the building was cut to the full depth of the terra cotta (approximately four inches) allowing the stress to dissipate. Broken and cracked blocks were replaced with cast stone, joints were repainted and surfaces repaired.

New York, NY Restoration & Renovation Master Plan

Following the recommendation of an earlier masterplan for phased implementation, the renovation of the upper portion of the sanctuary was undertaken, including the restoration of ceilings and decorative fretwork, a new fire suppression system, lighting and facilities upgrade. Over an eight year period the eleven-story Parish Hall, containing community facilities, a nursery school and residential units, was completely renovated and the general infrastructure of the church upgraded.

Having never been done before, the Translations Collection transformed the current woven technology to produce a physically 3-Dimesional product. Contrary to the typical carpet design process for manipulation of color pattern and texture, Translations uses one color, and instead, manipulates the inherent structure as pattern and 3-Dimensionality to induce change. Recognized for its innovative use of existing technology, when installed Translations delights over time with the discovery of new patterns shaped by light and shadow. Using a high lustre Antron yarn, the colors were inspired by the engineered building materials such as glass, metal and concrete

The sense of touch is the only sense that is fully developed at the time of birth in the human species and the one sense that cannot survive without. Because textile / fiber products allure people to touch, the Sensory collection explored the qualities of touch both literal and visual. Synthetic fiber is made to look richer than wool with the intentional focus on textures with optimal tactile appeal.
