eastwest2

BEGINNINGS:

• eastwest2  has operated as a design / build studio since1988
• We commit to oversee every facet of our projects; from design through construction.  
• We developed a speciality working with difficult and challenging sites.

EXAMPLE:

• The project to the left was designed on one of the few 30' wide city lots in Minneapolis.  
• The clients' program delineated the following: Views of Lake Calhoun [now renamed] and views of the Minneapolis skyline, both in opposite directions.  
• The result was a contemporary urban residence shoehorned into very restrictive site perimeters; reminiscent of a sophisticated San Francisco row house. 

TODAY:          

• Our residential projects are mainly renovation of existing residences.  The site criteria, examination and interpretation remain the same, if not substantially increased.  

PERSONAL PROJECT: 

• A revisionist look at a classic American Rambler transformed into an "Urban Contemporary Loft."  
•  See Work :  Case Study 2.2 

DESIGN PRINCIPLE:

• Innovative architectures' express purpose is to optimally serve its function.
