Join us this Saturday, November 29th, at 2 P.M. for a special tour we’re leading as we close out our exhibition, Stamberg Aferiat Architecture, at the Bridgehampton Museum in The Nathaniel Rogers House, 2539 Montauk Hwy, Bridgehampton, NY 11932.

Curated by Reed Kroloff, Dean of the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the exhibition showcases photographs and architectural models documenting some of Stamberg Aferiat’s most iconic projects across Long Island. Known for their bold use of color, form, and light, Stamberg and Aferiat’s work redefines modern architecture with a balance of human warmth and spatial clarity.

Coinciding with the exhibition, the New York City-based architects will also release a new monograph, STAMBERG AFERIAT ARCHITECTURE: FORM + COLOR / FORM + LIGHT, featuring photographs by Paul Warchol and forewords by Paul Goldberger and Reed Kroloff. The book offers an in-depth exploration of their decades-long collaboration and the philosophy behind their acclaimed designs.

“Light, form, and color are tools that Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat have mastered over a 50-year career and dozens of projects celebrated in the press and cherished by clients,” says curator Reed Kroloff.

The exhibition and monograph provide a rare opportunity to understand how their creative process challenges the status quo in residential, hotel, commercial and cultural typologies right in the community that has inspired so much of their work.

The Stamberg Aferiat Architecture Exhibition celebrates the vibrant and visionary work of two of America’s most innovative architectural voices, Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat.

Hiding a modern glass building in plain sight.

Our clients requested a light-filled glass gallery space in which to display their growing art collection. As architecturally adventuresome and visually sophisticated as our clients themselves were, local ordinances placed deed restrictions on the 400-acre rural site. The restrictions required that any structure visible from the road must appear to be a farm-utility building. How then do we negotiate these conflicting positions?

Stamberg Aferiat first analyzed the points from the road where this building would be visible. We then sited the building so only two facades and one side of the roof would be regulated by the deed restriction. Beyond those elevations, we skewed and shaped the building to fit programatic needs. Since the visible elevations must appear as solid vernacular material from the road, we created a louvered wooden facade. The face of the wood louver would be oriented towards the road to appear solid, but at all non-regulated angles, the inner channel glass facade would be revealed. The louvers block direct sunlight from the gallery interior to protect the art collection. They keep the space cool. A planted roof emanates from the ground to further obscure the building, blending it into the expansive natural landscape.

And here you have it. A modern glass building hidden in plain sight.

Richard Serra at Gemini G.E.L.: Five Decades of Printmaking is now on view through November 23 at the galleries we designed in New York City.

An artist who has pushed the boundaries of sculpture and printmaking, we are excited to see the galleries devoid of color to allow Serra’s color of choice, black, highlighted in this exhibition.
