History of Andrea Steele Architecture (ASA)<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n
\n

Andrea Steele Architecture (ASA) <\/strong><\/a>previously was known as the\u00a0New York studio of \u00a0TEN Arquitectos<\/a><\/strong>, ASA<\/strong> was formed out of the collaboration between Enrique Norten<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and Andrea Steele<\/strong><\/a>, TEN\u2019s<\/strong> North American principal for eight years. That relationship, which resulted in more than 20 built works, will continue as the two work on current projects and seek out future\u00a0ones.<\/p>\n

TEN Arquitectos [Taller de Enrique Norten Arquitectos]<\/strong>\u00a0, founded in Mexico City<\/strong> by Enrique Norten<\/strong><\/a> in 1986<\/strong>, under his leadership and vision, the firm reached international stature when it opened a New York<\/strong> office in 2003<\/strong>. Since then, TEN Arquitectos<\/strong> has grown to over 70 members, working on a diverse array of award winning and acclaimed architectural projects.<\/p>\n

Company Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Andrea Steele Architecture (ASA)<\/strong><\/a> is well renowned for their work in creating large-scale developments, vibrant civic centers, academic campuses, or cultural arenas, they know that to conceive of architecture as an isolated building is to miss the opportunities that design has to offer. Every project, regardless of site, scale, or program, is a chance to extend and enhance the public space.<\/p>\n

ASA<\/strong> views the practice of architecture as a form of creating and maintaining connections and alignments by bridging between the local and the universal.\u00a0ASA<\/strong> is guided by the idea that architecture is an expression of our shared experience and provides a space for cultural and social advancement. Each project contributes to a global dialogue that enhances not only the communities, but also the architecture profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

West End Square 50<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

West End Square 50<\/strong> is situated on a corner lot in a vibrant neighborhood full of hotels and restaurants and it aims to provide much-needed public amenities into the West End neighborhood of Washington, D.C.\u00a0<\/strong>Three distinct programs\u2014a new fire station for Engine Company No.1 on street level, a two-story squash club on the second and third floors, and six stories of affordable residential housing on top\u2014are situated in clearly articulated stacked volumes that push and pull the otherwise consistent street wall, creating more engagement and activity in the area.<\/p>\n

New York Public Library<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

In a neighborhood dense with high-end retail, luxury residences, and blue-chip institutions and offices, this 28,000-square-foot branch of the New York Public Library (NYPL)<\/strong> fulfills a much-needed role as an accessible space and a touchstone for the local community and visiting tourists.\u00a0The Library seeks to activate the mostly below-grade space and transform it into an inviting, open, and light-filled civic landscape, the design called for a glass facade that virtually disappears to reveal a dynamic internal topography. Inside, the innovative use of modest materials creates a rich palette of texture and expression for the three floors, which are openly connected to bring light and views to the deepest corners of the plan, and to provide endless opportunities for social interaction and enlightenment.<\/p>\n

Barkai School<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

By embodying the uniqueness of the Barkai Yeshiva education<\/strong> the design creates an experience that is both focused on the traditional Torah study, and the progressive teaching structure aimed at fostering, challenging and encouraging independent growth and thought. As you move through the building, you feel that it works as a metaphor for the child\u2019s journey through their academic life \u2013 one that is filled with many opportunities.<\/p>\n
