Each of these apartments has essentially one decorative feature made “digitally” (the glass wall in the first, the wood wall in the second.) In every other respect, they seem to be not-very-interesting loft renovations that any new york architect would be capable of.

And the one digifab decorative feature in each of these apartments could have been made by a skilled woodworker or glassmaker using traditional tools. So how does that make the designers forward-thinking or exceptional?

My sense is that the architect uses a lot of fancy language and connections to do what any other decent architect could do.

“In place of the semiological crutches of the index, the icon, and the symbol, the research revels instead in the emerging formal positions such as the beautiful, cute, elegant, sensuous and lovely.” Wha?

What I love about the SOHO apartment is the choice of materials utilized in such a small area.

I don’t really like the Griffin Residence though… the amount of wood used reminds me of something Kramer from Seinfeld would dream of. It’s like the owner is trying to turn his apartment into a log cabin!

Delusions of grandeur, maybe? That being said, the use of materials is very carefully thought out.
Both these apartments are nothing special, apart from the centrepiece.

The statement is bold, unfortunately the design isn’t.

While I like the general sense of place in the projects and this comment might be a subjective impression, I am not sure of the statement “..heavy reliance on robotic digital fabrication tools..” . it seems to me that the digital process in the projects seem to be targeting the area of effect VS. actually “affecting” the generation of the space or a substantial definition of its format.
