Posted • “Our restoration of a 1957 Paul László house in the Pacific Palisades, completed in 2021. Marlene Laskey produced a stunning nine hour oral history with László in the mid-1980s at UCLA towards the end of his life that helped us piece together his story and philosophy in order to bring this project back to life.

We are heartbroken to report that it was among the losses in the Palisades fire, but we were honored to play a part in carrying on László’s legacy.”

Jordan Flight 23
New York, NY
2014

This project opened 10 years ago this week.

Working with frequent collaborators we designed a series of custom luminaires that are integral to the Flight 23 architecture and environmental brand identity.

We developed a linear accent lighting system with integrated HVAC, speakers, sprinklers and other technology as well as rails to support the seamless luminous ceiling, unique millwork fixtures and illuminated sneaker display pegs.

Reflecting on this past year, I am perhaps most proud that our studio was selected as Best of Practice: Lighting Designer West by The Architect’s Newspaper.

This recognition is beyond any one project (we are proud of them all) but for us as a team - all of us: designers, and administrators, and for our collective work, culture and commitment to excellence.

“Best of Practice looks into the process of design with the goal of acknowledging offices that demonstrate excellence as they shape the built environment… The aim is to stake out an expansive meaning of excellence, one which takes into account the many facets of practice today, including but not limited to office culture, employee wellbeing, inclusivity, social engagement, sustainability, and technological innovation.” - The Architect’s Newspaper

Thank you to for this honor and acknowledgement.

“This is not a store, it's a home for us, which was done by many hands that believe beauty is intrinsic to the soul but with the respect of our fellow human and Mother Nature. It is the true result of collaborative work. Of everybody having a say and being respected for their talent and knowhow. What you get is excellence, I couldn't be more proud." -
