Notable Projects


Title: Waveline

Description: WaveLine is a steel and masonry pavilion of subtle but powerful vision, with modest dimensions. The building is located in New York’s newest ‘hot neighborhood’,Queens. WaveLine does not try to blend in with its neighbors - twenty-story public housing towers built during the 1950’s, but instead uses the contrast of its contemporary materials and graceful form to define a new place for performance and sport within an existing public housing complex.

Title: Holley House

Description: The client commissioned hanrahanMeyers to design a 7,000 square foot house on a wooded site.

The house program includes a master bedroom suite in a separate pavilion; an entrance pavilion with two guest bedrooms and media room; and a third pavilion with living room, dining, and kitchen. Two stone walls are the main elements of the house, defining and separating the master bedroom suite from the entry area and marking the edge to the public spaces: living, dining, and kitchen. South of the house is a pool and a pool house. The house was designed to be part of its site, incorporating wood, stone, and water to create a quiet and restful retreat from New York City.
