As you scroll through the following three projects they have created, consider all of these design techniques and ideas they have implemented.
Palette Architecture Selected Projects
The Paper Factory Hotel is located in the Kaufman Arts District of Long Island City. The design was completed in collaboration with the in-house team of The Collective who also own and manage the project. The first phase of the project was to expand and renovate over 30,000 square feet of public and preparatory spaces on the ground and basement floors.
The renovation created a highly varied series of spaces designed to host daily experiences, ranging from cutting-edge music programming to educational gatherings, to business workshops. The ground level was opened to create a physically and visually connected sequence of spaces and contains living room seating arrangements, restaurant, bar, game room, and meeting area. The cellar contains a lounge, a large event space, night club, and kitchen and prep spaces. The outdoor area was reconfigured have greater connectivity to both levels and added fixed and furniture seating, outdoor bar, and food truck.

The Tree | House is a vertical enlargement of a century-old brownstone. Our goal with this project was to open up the interior and create a variety of interior and exterior spaces. Each space has a unique relationship to natural light, the cityscape, the great oak in the rear yard, and the human scale. There is space for everyone and every time. There are spaces for individuals and collectives, spaces for every time of day or season, and spaces for different levels of social engagement. The first level provides a grounded experience, with views towards the street and garden activities.
With grand, open proportions, this level retains hints of its past. It overlooks both the vibrant streetscape and a secluded garden. The middle level incorporates places for the individual. Each room is scaled to be a cozy alternative to the house’s other options. Each room has a framed view. The top-level contains the brightest and airiest spaces. An oversized skylight that leads to the roof caps the vertically proportioned top-level. The changing sunlight from the above allows everywhere in the house to experience the current state of the climate. This light beckons people to the roof where views overlook the tree and the neighboring buildings, providing unobstructed views of the city’s silhouette.

ModernHaus SOHO is a 100-room boutique hotel, prominently located on the southwest corner of SoHo. The original structure, completed in 2011, was designed in a rough material palette of exposed concrete and steel. The new owners, seeking to rebrand the hotel in a more contemporary style, assembled a design team led by Wilson Associates and Palette Architecture. The proposed design introduces soft, boldly colored furnishings and rich natural materials to play against the brutalist backdrop of the original design. Additionally, allusions to the history of the surrounding neighborhood were woven into the design through the use of patterned motifs and selected artwork.
