The Gateway Transportation Center is a wholly contemporary and modest consolidation of rail and bus hubs in downtown St. Louis.

Kowalewski Residence: Three Views of a Family

The Kowalewski Residence in Atlantic Beach, N.Y., is a Modernist house that presents three distinct faces of varying transparency and material composition that each respond to site context and the clients’ desires. As a modest, compact design, the house refers back to the original Art Deco and Tudor style homes first built in Atlantic Beach and stands in opposition to the sprawling McMansions that have sprung up in the town more recently.
