What interests David Rockwell most about theater, he says, is the ability to enable storytelling through architecture—an undertaking he and his eponymous firm embraced when New York’s Second Stage Theater asked them to revive an old Broadway house for the company’s new home, and also design the set for its first production in it. Called the Little Theater when it was built in 1912, the landmarked neo-Georgian building was designed by Harry Creighton Ingalls and F. Burrall Hoffman for impresario Winthrop Ames, to evoke an intimate, salon-like experience, with only 299 seats. After a two-year renovation, it reopened again in February as the Hayes Theater—with about 600 seats, the smallest house on Broadway.

For the first American branch of In-Sight, a popular concept store on Spain’s Balearic Islands, the Majorca-based firm Ohlab wanted to create a space in Downtown Miami in which the retail brand’s identity and that of its curated selection of art, design, and fashion products would reinforce each other. To do this, the architects used their client’s binocular-shaped logo to craft a spatial volume by digitally rotating its twin circular forms two dozen times, at 3¾ degrees a turn, until reaching a figure eight. They then laser-cut the patterns into 24 curved wooden panels installed in a tunnel-like progression from the front of the store to the back.

Inside the Seagram Building's new Japanese-seafood-themed eatery designed by @petermarinoarchitect The Lobster Club. The material palette—including oiled bronze, terrazzo, and white ebony (a nod to the Four Seasons’ French walnut paneling)—is meant to evoke the Seagram aesthetic. Marino points out that Mies van der Rohe and collaborator Lily Reich used curtains in a 1927 café, although he notes that the choice of black leather refers to “my fun, cutting-edge, biker side.” It’s something of a self-portrait of the architect; the architect even drew the lobster that’s painted on dinner plates. The restaurant occupies the space of the former Brasserie, the casual (but no less chic) downstairs sibling of the legendary Four Seasons restaurant designed by Philip Johnson and interior designer William Pahlmann.

The renovation of @elevenmadisonpark restaurant was led by a friend and long-time regular, @allied_works principal Brad Cloepfil. Since 1998, the restaurant has occupied the Art Deco lobby of the landmark 1928 Metropolitan Life North building, with 2,250 square feet in the main dining room and 650 square feet in the adjacent low-ceilinged bar. Cloepfil was asked to reimagine the space. With elegant panache, he gave the restaurant a new identity while keeping the volume, nickel-plated bronze windows, light fixtures and ornamental ceiling plasterwork.

Today’s college students want the freedom to study, snack, and socialize at any time and anywhere on campus. @johnsonfavaro new 24-7 Hedrick Study @ucla– inspired, the architect admits, by the Ace Hotel–strikes a perfect balance replacing an old cafeteria with a food hall and surrounding study spaces. In the central reading room, the ceiling features a custom-printed image of the California sky at sunset, a nod to the painted ceilings of libraries past.

You would be forgiven for thinking Hedrick Study, designed by @johnsonfavaro at @ucla , is the lobby of boutique hotel. In fact, the architects transformed a former 1990s food-court-style cafeteria into a 24-7 European-style food hall with a cozy fireplace, comfy seating and high-speed internet.

Created by @eva.jiricna.architects with @pbdwarchitects and @dpalighting, the 4,800-square-foot, bi-level Gallery of Tiffany Lamps is like a jewel box, lined with a deep, lapis-blue vaulted ceiling made of glass fiber reinforced gypsum and decorative metal wall panels, grounded by black rubber floors. The gallery, located inside the New-York historical society’s new Center for Women’s History, is said to be the first of its kind in the United States.
