Lead designer Philip Michael Brown Studio brings contemporary international high-end design to Rochester NY with the Armory project.

“....The design approach for the Armory project has been to integrate geometrically pure iconic sculptural elements into the overall historical massing of the building in a manner which does not compete with but rather complements its timeless character.....this is also achieved by placing a strong emphasis on materiality - in this case cedar cladding and large clear glass panels - and the use of lighting to achieve a certain dramatic effect....the outcome of the design reflects the idea of “ready-made critical regionalism” in the sense that contemporary design elements are mediated by the historical vernacular of the existing building....”
