Andre Architecture and Good Hotels are converting a historic 1880s brownstone in Central Harlem into a 14-key hotel serving short-term travelers and residents in transition. The project demonstrates how a modest 20-by-100-foot residential lot can support meaningful density through the utilization of a 1929 Multiple Dwelling Class B provision—enabling the creation of micro-sized efficiency units where modern code would not permit them.

Slated for completion by the end of the year, the redevelopment reflects Good Hotels’ ethos of using smart planning, technology, and design to make stays efficient, affordable, and comfortable. Andre Architecture’s design reinforces this approach, layering old and new through use of rich tones of color, high-performance materials, and streamlined furnishings.

As both designer and facilitator, the New York City-based studio is leading architecture, interiors, and styling through a suite of specialized services, including project management and procurement, enabling Good Hotels to operate as its own owner-builder. Working closely with consultants, the team is balancing density, historic character, accessibility, durability, and guest experience. Overall, the project demonstrates how thoughtful design and planning can transform a modest property into a more useful asset for the city.

Pre-insulated wooden parquet blocks retrofit a once-blank façade to enliven the square of Jardins de Caterina Albert. The patchwork patterns are reminiscent of artisan textiles and Spanish arts, but also provide outboard insulation, louvers, and small balconies to improve building peformance and reach climate action and sustainability goals.

Assembly axonometric of a pre-insulated wooden parquet modular block system designed for installation on blank walls throughout Barcelona. Introducing varied wood colors, textures, and patterns into urban environments fosters the social and neurological benefits associated with biophilic design and placemaking.

This work was developed for an international design competition and submitted by principals Andre Gomez and Joseph Ruiz in 2024. Although the proposal was not selected, Andre is now revisiting the concept through a recent grant application to explore easily deployable facade systems that build upon its original principles and give new life to the idea.

This Gropius House facility expansion combines historic restoration with subtle interventions and a new bathroom to choreograph the visitor’s arrival, orientation, and movement. Through adaptive reuse, the proposal reinforces the significance of the original buildings while expanding their contemporary role.

Natural pools and native plantings dissolve the boundary between architecture and landscape, while cast-in-place concrete defines the home—chosen for its strength, durability, and ability to exist in direct contact with the earth. Passive building and site design strategies are integrated throughout, allowing prevailing breezes to move across the water and naturally cool the interiors. Expansive operable walls and deep overhangs regulate daylight, provide shade, and promote cross ventilation.

Design development drawings for a corner window in the kitchen window and a double-sided fireplace. The client challenged us to design the entire home without steel, which was only possible by utilzing exposed heavy wooden beams. All the detailing relates to these beams, as viewed in the drawings.

Andre Architecture worked with and to develop a home inspired by mid-century modern architecture and the natural surroundings of a forest site up in the catskills.

We quickly found purpose - not in the building, but in the site itself - by placing a low-profile house along the western edge bluff to create a single yard with optimal open space. The house would bend at an angle to open itself up to the southern sky to harvest the best daylight. This new hillside clearing, in conjunction with the architecture, would serve as both the point of arrival and destination - a condition made possible by the seclusion offered of a forest site.
