Projects

Aesop | Williamsburg

Aesop | Williamsburg, NY Aesop Williamburg was Parkbench Architect’s first ever project with Aesop and their in-house designer Cyril Marsollier. Existing timber columns, beams and wood flooring remain exposed to celebrate the building’s former industrial life, and the new storefront brings in more natural light through the brick, arch-topped windows. The technical challenges were great in detailing the angled, tiled wall, and how to seamlessly and covertly integrate a new HVAC system. Gathering inspiration from the ubiquitous nature of the East River to this neighborhood, this store is an exploration of how one can evoke the ephemeral quality of light on the river in hard, fixed materials.

N Between Restaurant Architect in NYC

N Between

N Between This bar offers a unique blend of East meets West, reminiscent of a Shinjuku izakaya infused with the gritty charm of a classic whiskey dive bar. Designed to cater to both those seeking a quick bite and others looking to unwind, the space primarily features countertop seating that encourages intimate conversations and solo dining. The ambiance is defined by moody, low lighting that casts a warm glow, complemented by a palette of 70’s-inspired materials — rich woods, textured fabrics, and vintage brass accents. Together, these elements create a cozy, living room-like retreat, offering a sense of escape from the bustling energy of the surrounding neighborhood.
