Phase 1 of our renovation at Playwrights Horizons is complete! The third-floor lobby and rehearsal studios have been reimagined with enhanced acoustical isolation, updated lighting, and modern finishes throughout. From reconfiguring the layout to upgrading mechanical systems, every detail was designed to create an inspiring and functional space for the artists. Debbie Balters, Architect & Associate at Marvel , comments, "The design transforms the space using light, texture, and mass. A soffit wraps the rehearsal room corridors, guiding people with directional light and culminating in a Turrell-inspired ceiling in the main lobby." Excited to share a glimpse of the new lobby space & studios!

About us
Marvel is dedicated to shaping public space, designing for institutional growth, and expanding economic and creative opportunities for a wide range of clients. Our architects and urban designers integrate the built and natural environments in every project—from infrastructure development and adaptive reuse to master planning, block building, park, and waterfront design, as well as multi- and single-family housing. We apply the same meticulous attention to detail to all scales and forms, with the resulting projects and spaces earning our reputation for sensitive and thoughtful design. Our strength comes from working with a diversity of clients. We have successfully completed projects for mixed-use developers, iconic retail brands, galleries and museums, public and private educational institutions, and city agencies. We have earned a national reputation for designing at the intersection of public and private space, from security bollards on Wall Street to a 550,000-square-foot hotel/condo situated in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Rather than specializing in a “look” or typology, our process consistently uncovers essential qualities of sites and existing structures and uses them to bring meaning to the new project through rigorous research and analysis. Our multi-disciplinary studio collaborates throughout the design and construction process to meet our clients’ economic and occupancy requirements, be it to efficiently address an immediate need or develop a long-term phasing and development plan. We are experienced at tackling a variety of challenges with innovative design solutions, as well as transforming ordinary projects into remarkable ones. After more than twenty years working in New York City and across the country, our team has pioneered an entrepreneurial approach to architecture and place-making that has been recognized by more than 60 design and industry awards from peer and client groups.

José Juan Terrasa-Soler, partner at Marvel, was interviewed regarding FEMA's new updates to its standards and maps to better protect communities from climate change related flooding. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eEVMHuZz #designeverywhereforeveryone
“FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers are moving in the right direction to include the best science available in floodplain planning. They are also embracing nature-based solutions as part of the toolkit to manage stormwater effectively,” said landscape architect José Juan Terrasa-Soler, ASLA, PLA, a partner at Marvel, based in Puerto Rico. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has updated its standards and maps to better protect communities from flooding, which is only increasing with climate change. The agency says the new Federal Flood Risk Management Standard uses the “best available science” to guide communities on how to reduce their vulnerabilities. The standard expands their conception of the floodplain to reflect both current and future flood risk. The new approach also requires FEMA and states to consider both “natural features and nature-based solutions” when they rebuild.

As part of our 10-year Anniversary celebrations at 7 Lispenard last year, Marvel held the M/10 Challenge events— an intimate series featuring speakers who shared their organizational missions and posed challenges for our next decade. In our first event, Founding Partner Lissa So moderated a conversation with Susan Feldman of St. Ann's Warehouse and Martin Miller, Executive Director of McCarter Theatre Center . Previously, he was Executive Director/Producer at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville, AR, where he transformed the theater from a company offering 50 performances a year on a $160,000 operating budget to an organization offering 350 performances annually on a $7.5 million budget. His challenge to Marvel is simple: Keep doing good! #designeverywhereforeveryone #M10 #M10Challenge
