Lackawanna Coffee / Inaba Williams Architects

Monumental forms and bold shapes fill the double-height interior. Framing the space are four massive 22-foot-tall columns. Each is complemented by a unique combination of small engaged columns. Together, their undulating vertical profiles accentuate the café’s lofty proportions.

“Title 24” (California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standards) inspired the design of the net-zero homes. We see the state’s recently implemented code as an opportunity to reinvent the Southern California single-family dwelling.

HUSH Studios / Inaba Williams + KM, A

As the physical and digital worlds converge, there’s a greater appreciation for each in their own right. We found the stand-alone qualities of physical and digital space have more value not less even as they now get mixed together in many ways. That appreciation seems especially true with those who work with both mediums, like Hush, a design agency known for combining physical and digital design into integrated user experiences. Instead of using both for the interior of their new office, they decided to use purely physical elements with the idea of getting the most out of their inherent properties.

Apartment interiors are so custom-tailored to prospective residents they’re often ill suited for actual residents. When the needs of new occupants inevitably change they often times modify the apartment layout with the initial effort to create a bespoke apartment significantly wasted. Our renovation removes parts of the apartment to fit the owner’s daily life while concentrating on strengthening the bones of the space – the core elements that will be there for a while even as the needs of its occupants change over time.

Adaptive Reuse of a SOM Landmark / Inaba Williams Architects

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 18:00:00 +0000

The adaptive reuse design of SOM's Manufacturers Hanover Trust restores iconic parts of the original interior. In other areas, Inaba Williams peeled back layers of the third-floor space to reveal the building’s ingenious structure. Located on what was an office level of the 1954 landmarked building, Inaba Williams resurrected the most distinctive element, the luminous ceiling along Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street, which had been badly damaged over time.

New York Light / INABA

Karissa Rosenfield — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

This holiday season, wedged between two New York City icons - the Flatiron and Empire State building - stands the #NewYorkLight public art installation by Brooklyn-based INABA. A magnificent place to experience the Manhattan grid, the installation frames a unique and uninterrupted view of the skyline due to the clearing of Madison Square Park.

Red Bull's New York Offices / Inaba Williams Architects

Karen Valenzuela — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 01:00:00 +0000

With major companies branding their workspace and all of the talk about the new way we work, Red Bull took a different approach.

Red Bull Music Academy New York / INABA

Nico Saieh — Mon, 13 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Jeffrey Inaba’s firm INABA was commissioned by Red Bull Music Academy to transform four floors of a vacant building in New York's Chelsea neighborhood into a model learning environment. INABA has used dramatic walls and lighting to create unique collaborative work areas in place of the traditional classroom.

Sandwiched / INABA

As part of 2010, the Whitney Biennial, Jeffrey Inaba’s firm, INABA, was commissioned to design a pop‐up café located in the museum’s interior courtyard. The project consists of three (3) large‐scale lanterns that occupy the courtyard’s double‐height space, a 24‐foot long service counter, communal tables, high‐top counters and ‘droopy’ seat cushions.
