Adjoin Residence project featured in AN Interior in a piece written by Anna Gibertini.
 
“Thomas’s millwork magic also adds texture and color in a way that drywall partitions might not. In this project, the home’s open-concept design and the need to delineate different zones within a small space."

2024.06.28 | THE NEW YORK TIMES

Adjoin residential renovation project was featured by Julie Lasky in The New York Times as part of the “Living Small” Real Estate column.
 
“Thomas, who is the principal of Kalos Eidos, a multidisciplinary design studio, described the unit she first encountered as having ‘great bones, but a lot layered on top,’ ...She set out to strip back, unify and squeeze functionality from the discordant elements. Thomas attacked the problem with custom oak millwork and an overarching color palette to create purposeful sections, or ‘zones’.”

Ryan Brooke Thomas wrote about our Tidal Shift project with WIP Collaborative for Green Building & Design magazine. In print and online here.

“Whether designing a building interior or a public plaza, in a domestic or civic domain, the framework for shaping a project’s identity always entails a mix of space, surfaces, objects, textures, colors, and other dynamic forces acting together to support various modes of interaction and experience…

When that balance of components also allows openness to and anticipation of the unplanned nature of social interaction and use, it activates the potential for design outcomes to invite, surprise, welcome, and embrace adaptability.”
