World Trade Center Viewing Platform
Originally, 3 of these Observation Platforms were proposed, although, this is the only which was built.
The Fulton Street Observation Viewing Platform was purposely situated next to the St. Paul's Chapel, where first responders and a myriad of work crews solemnly took respite within the pews for sleep, strength and hope.
Covered in the wake of debris from the collapse, this church survived; as did our resilience from all New Yorkers, Americans, and the world thereof.
This erected scaffold and plywood design was created by utilizing standard dimensional pipe fittings, steel bracing, sheet plywood, nominal framing lumber, and exterior grade lighting. Designed in one day, Mayor Giuliani's office and NYC council unanimously approved and construction schedule was compressed into 2 days and one night.
The world needed a view, we humbly provided one.

Immanuel Lutheran Church
A historical landmark located within the old German neighborhood of Yorkville, in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Immanuel Lutheran is a pinnacle of turn-of the century Gothic style masonry design.
In June of 1969, neighboring excavation blasting for a retail shop, collapsed the main sanctuary's roof, which conversely revealed the massive wooden trusses above the plaster ceiling.
Years later, large metal canister lights were hung in the space to suffice lighting needs. In 2007, ResolveDesigns, created a fully integrated lighting program to enhance the inherent architectural beauty while creating energy efficient & cost effective solutions.
Under a fast track schedule, in less than 28 days, over 5 miles of new code- compliant wiring, switching, panels and controls were installed. Utilizing over 65 different fixtures, 20 dimmable master controls and custom lanterns; the interior of the church was christened for its inaugural opening with a congregational celebration.
