We have always worked hard to remove the headaches and simplify the complicated construction process for our clients. That’s the value that EW Howell brings, and it runs throughout our entire organization, from estimating, all the way through to our on-site managers. For 125 years, we’ve been perfecting how we approach construction in the New York area, and that means we can do it better than anyone else.

“EW HOWELL STRICTLY MANAGES ESTIMATING AND SCHEDULING, BECAUSE FOR SCHOOLS, AN ‘OPEN DATE’ IS NOT A SUGGESTION.”

CONSTRUCTION MANAGER / GENERAL CONTRACTOR

Over the course of our 125 years, we’ve learned what it takes to survive and succeed in this industry. Flexibility is key, and that flexibility starts with how we approach our role right from the outset. EW Howell is equally comfortable operating as General Contractor or Construction Manager. The main differences are risk, and to what extent the client wishes to be involved in the day-to-day operations. From either perspective, our building process and project management deliver the same high level that our clients have come to expect, and the overarching goal is to remove the complexity for our clients, and build simply.

125 YEARS OF BUILDING EXPERIENCE IN NYC

Founded in 1891, EW Howell is a well established General Construction and Construction Management firm. With offices in Manhattan and on Long Island, we provide construction services throughout the region to a diversity of clients including retail, education, government, cultural and healthcare organizations.

Established first as a builder of fine homes, EW Howell quickly earned a reputation among those with influence, both in Manhattan and on Long Island, constructing elegant Gold Coast estates, many of which still stand today, for clients including the Guggenheim, Pratt, and Hutton families.

As the decades passed, EW Howell continued to grow and evolve with the changing times to become an integral part of the commercial construction industry, and now stands as one of the most prominent construction firms in New York.

We manage clients’ construction needs at any, or every point in the building process. Often, our work begins before our client proceeds with purchasing land or a pre-existing building, and our involvement continues through the final building inspection, warranty period, and beyond. Our experience and expertise enable us to enter the building process at virtually any phase and uniquely bring in the construction on time and on budget.

We are accountable to one another, our clients and partners to uphold these values. When you walk into an Andersen office or onto a project, you feel our culture. We are constant professionals who, at the root of it all, do what we say we are going to do.

“What is the most flexible in a room? You! Design needs to relate to the development of people, to the development of our mind and body. It’s not just an instrument of decoration, but a tool for change. Rosan Bosch at TEDx in Indianapolis 2013.

Rosan Bosch Studio is an interdisciplinary agency working in the cross-field of art, design and architecture. We believe that the physical environment makes a difference to the way we act in the world. Therefore we use interior design as active tool to create change - whether it comes to urban spaces, schools or workplaces.

Our portfolio ranges from small art and development projects to total designs of schools, libraries and private companies. We base each project on the customer's specific challenges and customize the design solution to the people who will use it in everyday life.

The Biomimicry Institute was founded in 2006 by Janine Benyus and Bryony Schwan to share nature’s design lessons with the people who design and make our world. We began by working directly with educators from K-12, university, and non-formal (museums, zoos, aquariums) environments to naturalize biomimicry in the educational system, and ensure the next generation of changemakers had the tools to integrate biomimicry in their careers. Education is at our roots, and you can find lesson plans, classroom exercises, and educator training courses on our Biomimicry Education Network website.

In 2008, we launched a free, online catalog of nature’s solutions to design challenges. This award-winning website, called AskNature, has helped students and practitioners around the globe look to nature for sustainable design inspiration and advice.

As our programs evolved, we began working closely with our sister organization, the Biomimicry Guild, a for-profit consulting company also founded by Janine Benyus. In 2010 we embarked on an experiment and united with the Guild under a shared brand, Biomimicry 3.8, as a non-profit/for-profit hybrid organization. In 2014, the two entities decided to revert to the original model of dual brands in order to more effectively achieve our missions. The for-profit consultancy is now Biomimicry 3.8, while the non-profit organization is the Biomimicry Institute.

CannonDesign is an integrated global design firm that unites a dynamic team of architects, engineers, industry experts and builders driven by a singular goal — to help solve our clients’ and society’s greatest challenges.

Our defining strength is our ability to harness creative intelligence — both ours and our clients — to develop solutions informed by a prism of perspectives, experiences, technologies and cultures. Our firm is purposely built to foster this high-level of multidisciplinary thinking, allowing our teams to assess situations from all angles and identify opportunities to improve rather than conform. This synergistic method allows us to identify and connect the best ideas across industries and geographies.

We blend our diversity of expertise with empirical and ethnographic research, immersing ourselves in our clients’ worlds to understand their needs in their context. This “in the field” approach enables us to understand how each client defines value and how it can be translated into opportunities everyone can get behind.

Our practice can best be defined as a blend of sound science, place-based design and ecological democracy. It is rooted in deep ecology with an underpinning that all species have equal rights, and that we have an ethical obligation to ensure that our actions do not interfere with their evolutionary potential. It is ingrained with the intent to design with ‘place’ and all of its complexity, diversity and life. And it is infused with a sense of compassion, fairness and equity for all peoples and their communities.

Our vision is to “transform the construction industry by building smart.” Because we believe if there’s a better way, we’ll find it. We’re always challenging the norm and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. At Suffolk, to constantly innovate is a pledge and promise we make to our clients, partners and communities. And ourselves. Building smart is in our soul. It’s who we are and how we work. And it’s an approach that is transforming the construction experience. One project at a time. We’re talking about a revolution here. Join us.

THE POWER OF PEOPLE

We judge the success of the buildings and places we design by the way people use and enjoy them - the clients who commission them, the people who inhabit them. Good design is about helping clients meet their needs and objectives. It is also about the way people feel when they experience it, a sense of meaning, connection and belonging.

Our design values are shared globally across all the HASSELL studios, by the talented people who work in them: architects, interior designers, landscape architects, urban designers, planners and specialist consultants.

We work together in integrated design teams because they produce the best outcomes for our clients. The increasingly complex projects that clients bring to us demand a culture built on collaboration, creativity, and innovation in design thinking and delivery.

Sunbrella is founded on the belief that fabrics should be both beautiful and functional. We began in the 1960s with the challenge of creating an awning canvas with a substantially longer lifespan than cotton. Sunbrella has become widely adopted for shade structures, marine canvas and upholstery fabric for both outdoor and indoor applications.

Our textiles are made with close attention to design detail, and engineered with robust performance characteristics that provide resistance to fading and degradation from sunlight and chemical exposure. The fabric is tactile yet durable, has industry-leading environmental characteristics, is easy to care for and offers long life – wherever it’s used.

Each yard of Sunbrella performance fabric is a product of a global support team committed to producing only the most exceptional performance textiles you can buy.

Manufacturing

Sunbrella fabrics are manufactured in facilities around the globe. Our main manufacturing location is a one million square foot facility in South Carolina, USA. This Anderson, South Carolina plant features a completely vertical ISO 9001 and 14001 certified manufacturing operation, R&D center and testing lab. This facility established the blueprint for our plants in Lille, France and Suzhou, China, manufacturing locations that enable us to best serve our customers in those regions. Sunbrella is always manufactured to the same standards and is delivered when you need it, anywhere in the world.

Research and Development

Our R&D department is continually pushing the envelope for what is possible with Sunbrella textiles. R&D spearheads our efforts to continually improve and refine the durability characteristics of Sunbrella fabrics.

Designers

The Sunbrella design team operates in the United States and Europe. This group of experienced textile designers brings diverse industry experience and is actively involved in stock line design, collaborative collections and custom line development.

Technical Services

Our technical services department can answer any questions about the technical aspects of Sunbrella fabric. If a cleaning or warranty issue should arise, the technical services team will evaluate the situation and offer a solution.

Sales Force

We have built our practice on a distinctive way of thinking rather than a trademark style. Mindful of the shortcomings of many architectural “interventions,” we approach a project as the occasion to put global experience in the service of local cultures and contexts. Technology meets traditional methods of fabrication. The design of each unique project informs the next, building a knowledge base that helps free us from conventional understandings.

Advocate, provocateur, broker, shaman-our role may vary, depending on the situation. Our inspiration resides not in the grandiose and the monumental but in larger existential questions, and in focused observations of the sensual, the tactile, the unexpected: our favorite streets in our favorite cities, a stairway we remember, a room glimpsed in passing, seen through an open door. The spatial becomes a means to the spiritual.

Urban plans, private homes, office complexes, museums, interiors, furniture, bathtubs, table settings, lipstick. The big and the small are to us equally compelling.

Be honest, fair and ethical in all aspects of our business.

Treat each other with respect and dignity. Our people are our real assets. Provide a good stimulating and flexible work environment. Care about them and their families and help them. Pay them fairly and adequately. Give them the individual opportunity to further their career and to share in the success of the company, based on merit.

Work hard and play hard. This is perhaps the toughest of industries; still… we must try to keep it fun! Appreciate every day the opportunity that our clients are giving us, to entrust us with some of their most important and highly visible projects. Be worthy of that trust. Always remember that a reputation is a fragile thing and work very hard every day to maintain it – if necessary and appropriate, commit financial resources for that purpose. Develop enthusiastically satisfied customers all of the time. Always strive to build the job to the highest standards in the most cost effective manner consistent with the interest of the owner. However, keep in mind that our subcontractors and vendors must have the opportunity to make a fair profit.

Recognize that profit and growth are the means to make all of the other values and objectives possible. However, while growth is necessary for the advancement of individual careers, it must be carefully balanced so that our core values are preserved. The balance between growth, profit and customer service will be our single most important challenge.

These Core Values will never change regardless of market conditions or other external factors.

Mission Statement

Safety must be first among all other job site requirements.

Sciame intends to maintain its stature as the premier New York builder by applying the highest standards of excellence to every aspect of the construction process. Working together as a team, we will put together the best construction program anyone has ever seen.

We will use our construction expertise and reputation to secure profitable projects to ensure that our core values are protected.

We will always look for good available people. We will hire them based on ability, desire and fit. We will expect them to perform.

We will maintain the speed and agility of a small enterprise as we grow.

We will approach the unique challenges of each construction project with a “We Can Do Anything” attitude and cause this attitude to become contagious. Don’t follow others – “Thou shalt not kill a good idea.” We will be the only one who can do what we do.

Etsy is the global marketplace for unique and creative goods. It’s home to a universe of special, extraordinary items, from unique handcrafted pieces to vintage treasures.

In a time of increasing automation, it’s our mission to keep human connection at the heart of commerce. That’s why we built a place where creativity lives and thrives because it’s powered by people. We help our community of sellers turn their ideas into successful businesses. Our platform connects them with millions of buyers looking for an alternative—something special with a human touch, for those moments in life that deserve imagination.

Since first opening our doors in 1967, we’ve been fortunate to work on design projects of many types and sizes. Our offerings and expertise have evolved and expanded over the years, but the core of our philosophy remains the same: focus on the success of our clients.

DATASCAPES
MVRDV’s rational design process, refined across more than 600 projects to date, is shaped by explorations of the statistical spatial data, relating to contexts and constraints, which surrounds the contemporary design process. By understanding and strategically tapping into this data, we create highly informed and specific solutions which not only answer to today’s and tomorrow’s needs, but enable us to simulate future scenarios which in turn question our current perspective, values and behaviour. The fruits of this methodical approach range from product designs to architectural interventions and software programs focused on architectural solutions, participatory planning and large scale urban visions.

PROTOTYPING
Prototyping involves the exploration of multiple design options through extensive design testing to use and upgrade known typological and archetypal solutions. Design is the result of this rigorous iterative process, which allows the highest quality design to emerge through continuous discussion and assessment. MVRDV uses diagrams, visualisations, physical models and numerous other mediums to interrogate the design, the site, the brief, and the client’s wishes.

We believe that happiness and well-being are intrinsically linked to the quality of our environment.

Our studio is dedicated to making extraordinary spaces, no matter the scope or scale, through inventive and integrated design. The built space we inhabit has a profound impact on individual lives and our shared environment.

By approaching each assignment holistically we discover unique, environmentally responsible, and memorable solutions.

Our work is iconic and transformative.

Our Story

Ross Barney Architects is an architecture and urban design studio committed to designing distinctive solutions for every project that we undertake. Established in 1981 by Carol Ross Barney, the firm enjoys long and successful history of creating innovative, environmentally responsible, user focused architecture and civic spaces that stand the test of time. Chicago, Illinois is our home base and laboratory.

From our inception, the studio has operated under the belief that the experience of exceptional space is a right that all society should enjoy. The firms’ diverse portfolio of work lends proof to the idea that great design solutions can be developed for any problem. At the heart of this success is a collaborative and holistic design process that actively engages the client and users of a project in order to discover a diverse range of possible solutions. The best design happens when these synergetic interactions and open exchange of ideas are allowed to flourish.

Research has always fueled our design process. We search for enhanced understanding of programmatic needs. We are continually exploring new materials and system applications to improve the performance of our buildings. We allow the building to grow out of its place, its technology, and its social and functional needs.

Since its formation in 2009, AL_A has refined an intuitive and strategic approach to design. Collaborating with ambitious and visionary clients, we develop designs that are conceptualised as urban projects not just buildings and projects that express the identity of an institution, a city or a nation.

Recently completed projects include the Victoria & Albert Museum Exhibition Road Quarter (2017) in London, the V&A’s largest building project in over 100 years; MAAT (2016), a Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology in Lisbon, commissioned by EDP, one of the world’s foremost energy companies; Central Embassy (2017), a 1.5 million sq ft luxury shopping mall and hotel in Bangkok on the former grounds of the British Embassy; a 13-hectare media campus and a 37,700m2 headquarters building for Sky (2016) in London; and MPavilion 2015 in Melbourne.

Studio Libeskind’s architecture emerges from the idea that a building should be expressive and reflect contemporary life. Innovation is at the core of our design process. We believe that bold design must be realized with sustainable technology and we strongly believe that the art of architecture lies in creating a maximum impact within the constraints of budgets and functionality. We know from experience that great architecture comes from working with great clients; however, architecture is a public art and we hold ourselves accountable not only to the client, but to the communities, and cities in which we build.
