Matiz Architecture & Design

As part AIANY's Center for Architecture "Discover Architecture" program, we hosted a high school student for three days in true alignment with our mentoring philosophy. We introduced the student to some behind-the-scenes aspects to the profession, technology and our general design process.

The New York City Ballet has called Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater home since 1964. Over the years, the building’s 5th floor has served as a practice and exercise space for NYCB dancers and, more recently, as a facility for physical therapy staff. To better support the well-being of its performers, NYCB engaged MAD to transform a 4,500sf portion of this floor into a dedicated Physical Therapy and Wellness Suite—a thoughtfully designed space focused on enhancing dancer health and performance. At the core of the project, three curved bamboo wall panels evoke the fluid movement of dancers, reinforcing a sense of harmony and flow. The new Suite provides the New York City Ballet with a revitalized facility that reflects the grace, precision, and dedication of its world-class dancers. More at: https://lnkd.in/ejDUPwQf

Wishing all our family, friends, clients, and colleagues a very Happy Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful time celebrating with our traditional potluck luncheon at the studio, enjoying a delightful, multi-ethnic spread of sweet and savory dishes from all over the world. As we reflect on all that we are thankful for—both personally and professionally—we are filled with appreciation. Here’s to closing out 2024 on a high note and looking ahead to an exciting and prosperous 2025! #happythanksgiving

A MAD retreat: Our team spent last Friday in the New Canaan CT area visiting two architectural gems after a great brunch in the center of town. The tour of Philip Johnson's Glass House (1949) and property was followed by a visit to the SANAA wonderfully designed Grace Farms (2015) where we wandered the site and took in the colorful landscape! The team discussed these wonderfully detailed projects and appreciated their history as explained by the great guides. Where will we go next year?

Tonight we join our client Queens Community House at their gala where they will surely highlight Strengthening Neighborhoods-Inspiring Change! We value our continuous collaboration and are excited to support QCH. Proudly we share an image of the fully renovated Forest Hills Community Center!

As part of a multi-phased renovation at Columbia University, we carefully updated portions of the 14th and 15th floors at the School of International & Public Affairs. New conference rooms and offices elegantly responded to the original building's architecture by introducing large expansive glass surfaces and new materials that complemented the 1970's interiors. The newly renovated large multipurpose area overlooking NYC is ready for special events too! #renovation #architecture #education #interiors #collaboration #internationalaffairs

On Labor Day we rest and reflect on the MANY hard-working craftspersons, builders and professionals that contribute to each and every project at our firm. THANK YOU. #laborday #professionalism #construction #tradespeople #builders #renovation #architecture #design #matizarchitecturedesign
