Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC)
We are proud to have been leading the team (in the 1980’s), designing the display celebrating the original Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer - ENIAC - at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering.
First publicly announced on February 14, 1946, this computer was one of the earliest electronic computers designed and completed in the world.

The planning and design of the ENIAC began in secret during World War II at the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering, where parts of the computer is on permanent display. See link for History:
Utah Residence remodel: Modern Preservation
Located in Southeastern Utah this residence was originally designed and constructed as a prefab residence by Marmol Radziner Architects, a designed based on the mid-20th century modern ‘Case Study Houses’.
However, this modern prefab residence design's extended terraces and breezeway ceiling areas were left exposed looking unfinished and did not preserve the seamless ceiling -line qualities of the remarkable Case Study Houses.
We researched a number of material finishes and design details to best enhance the modern design aesthetic for preserving the original intentions of the celebrated mid-20th century Case Study Houses, which were all designed by world-renowned innovative architects. Their designs always extended the interior ceiling qualities out to exterior living areas.
