3DS Culinary Gets New Offices with a Hyper-Modern Interior

January 6, 2016

Oyler Wu Collaborative were hired to design a creative laboratory for 3DS Culinary that merged technology and the culinary arts. The Hollywood, California company’s new innovative digs are dedicated to experimentation and collaboration between chefs, designers, and artists within its 1928 Neoclassical bank building.

The Oyler Wu Collaborative gutted the interior down to the basics and left only the concrete vault, masonry exterior walls, and the exposed steel roof trusses. The rawness of the original building remains, while the new interior sways hyper-modern, resulting in a creative and inspiring space.

A mezzanine lounge hovers with a jaw-dropping guardrail that’s composed of white linear steel elements and CNC milled wood panels that are intricately woven together.

A two-story glass food printing room peeks through the mezzanine level.

Below, the food printing room contains a dozen 3D food printers and a demonstration kitchen. There are also offices and a showroom area that’s used as a learning center and for demonstrations.

A Shingle-Style Home in Cambridge Gets a Modern Renovation

July 17, 2014

No Comments

aamodt / plumb architects were hired to renovate a shingle-style home on Professors’ Row in Cambridge, Massachusetts where they were tasked with integrating modern elements with the existing home’s historic structure.

Massive windows were used, along with raising the ceiling, to give the room a feeling of even more space. These in the corner fill the kitchen with light and almost make you feel like you’re outdoors.

The first floor kitchen was completely redesigned to reflect the homeowners’ interests, which combined both refined and rustic materials.

High gloss white cabinets were paired with concrete countertops and custom plywood raw steel shelves.

The partially open shelves provide storage for the owners’ collection of African bowls and primitive artwork.

Additional shelves were built, similar to those hanging in the kitchen, for extra display space.

Upstairs, what once was a series of small rooms, was turned into a spacious master suite hidden behind a sliding reclaimed wood barn door.

The hallway is lined with high gloss white cabinets on one side for storage and art work on the other side.

At the other end of the hallway is the master bathroom which is clad in white wood panels.

Sitting below a skylight is the new, wood enclosed tub.
