Our philosophy & services.
Using the benefits of contemporary technologies and a sensitivity towards local traditions and craft, we work to create an architecture with a unique sense of place. Our studio concentrates on progressive, sustainable design solutions of all building types, where each project is given individual focus and importance. We consider the site, the building, and its interiors together, in order to provide holistic and inspired solutions.
We believe architecture should form meaningful relationships between people and the places they inhabit.

Christopher Jeffrey
Chris was born in 1966 in Newark, New Jersey and was raised on the Jersey Shore where he developed a great appreciation for surfing, music and design. Chris is obsessed with making things. This attitude directly affects our Office’s sensibility in creating Architecture and the collaborative nature that brings together the makers and most importantly, our Clients. Chris began the firm in 2005 with the intention of creating a studio that served the New York region.
Chris is an alumnus Virginia Polytechnic Institute where he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture with minors in Construction Management and Urban Studies. He also attended VPI’s European studies program in Riva San Vitale, Switzerland. Upon graduating he was offered employment with Rudy Hunziker, Architect in Lugano, Switzerland spending two years working on innovative house designs and urban renewal projects. Returning to the states, Chris joined the team at Michael Ryan Architects in Loveladies, New Jersey and remained for nine years creating highly detailed residences.

Emilio Dominguez
Emilio was born in 1979 in Buenos Aires, Argentina to parents who had immigrated from Spain. He has been living in the United States for the past 10 years, and is also an American citizen. He became a licensed architect in Argentina after obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from the Universidad de Buenos Aires.
Emilio’s experience from working in both Argentina and the United States, developing a wide range of projects from residential to urban development, provides him with a unique perspective on conceptualizing projects and communicating ideas. His eagerness to collaborate with clients and attention to detail reinforces the Office’s standard for design excellence, contemporary ideas and a sustainable building approach.
Emilio enjoys traveling the world and experiencing cultures firsthand while fascinated by its diversity. A former rower, he finds solitude and inspiration surrounded by water and the soothing sound of the waves.
Emilio lives with his great pyrenees Peron in Hampton Bays, New York,
