Project includes – Ship rope, reinforced metal, ship seating fabric and rubber hoses. Concept - ROYALTY - A CHAIR FIT FOR A KING The project reclaims discarded maritime materials and repositions them as symbols of status and permanence. Weathered ship components—marked by salt, corrosion, and time—are reinterpreted as carriers of memory rather than waste. A decomposed mass of dock rope becomes the central gesture, elevated through a rigid frame of reinforced steel. A single rubber hose, once used for high-pressure water transfer, binds and animates the composition—coiling around the structure in a fluid, cape-like form. The chair reads as a throne—where fragility and strength, decay and authority, coexist—transforming industrial debris into an artifact of royalty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1597049918804-MY97V1NNIM03PZUV5HUX/image-asset.jpeg Restaurants, bars and furniture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1749061305195-660IXWUQ039L11Z1J9YN/Chair+2.jpg Restaurants, bars and furniture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1749061299861-MPC8125Y5PCN2M12OS11/Chair+1.jpg Restaurants, bars and furniture https://static1.squarespace.com/static/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/562bc560e4b0bda067d29ef9/5c532fda03ce646c81e4a293/1749061295058/ Restaurants, bars and furniture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1597045392391-IFAOOLB7OHOTE2L3E3JC/image-asset.jpeg Restaurants, bars and furniture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1505848376870-BX97OD17EPK98X0KIAD2/%D7%92%D7%9F+%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%9D+2.jpg Restaurants, bars and furniture https://www.romyblack.com/new-index daily 0.75 2026-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1445712154265-53CSX2GQEUOE0SEBAUC2/cotrocheni-lobby-4-5-c01_111.jpg COMMERCIAL - Main lobby - office building 4 Scope of Work - 18,500 sq ft. Design Brief – Office building, 6 floors including the main entrance with a lobby, reception desk, waiting area, elevator vestibules, typical floors and restrooms. Concept - The spatial experience is shaped by angling all three primary walls, creating a dynamic geometry that guides movement and establishes a cohesive visual flow. This directionality is further emphasized through integrated strip lighting, reinforcing the continuity across surfaces. Horizontal articulation is introduced by breaking the walls with back-lit panels, enhancing the sense of movement while adding layers of depth. Light plays a central role in the design, defining both vertical and horizontal relationships between materials and highlighting their transitions. To balance the sharp geometry and lighting interventions, large-format tiles with a wood-like finish are applied to the walls, introducing warmth and texture. This contrast softens the overall composition, resulting in a space that feels both dynamic and inviting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1445711567306-J8FDPFJBPXO0VTH8XJUM/cotrocheni-lobby-c001_00000.jpg COMMERCIAL - Main Lobby, Office Building 3 Scope of Work - 18,500 sq ft. Design Brief – Office building, 6 floors including the main entrance with a lobby, reception desk, waiting area, elevator vestibules, typical floors and restrooms. Concept - The design is driven by the intent to create a strong visual axis upon entry. The primary wall—being the longest and most prominent—is clad in dark grey glass, establishing a continuous connection between the northern and southern boundaries of the space. This linear gesture is reinforced by the treatment of the adjacent walls, which act as a backdrop to the reception and seating areas. These surfaces are articulated with a three dimensional triangular pattern, executed in white Corian, introducing texture and depth while maintaining material contrast. The ceiling design responds directly to this geometry through a series of diagonal coves, finished in black to echo the angular language of the walls. A deliberately restrained yet high-contrast color palette emphasizes these architectural elements, allowing natural light to enhance the spatial experience throughout the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1445712276845-5I4KH0WZNX49MT9QEAXV/%D7%91%D7%99%D7%97+%D7%A7%D7%A4%D7%9C%D7%9F+%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%9C%D7%93%D7%99%D7%9D++%28%D7%90%D7%A8%D7%91%D7%A2+%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%A0%D7%95%D7%AA%29+-+%D7%90%D7%98%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%95%D7%9D+%D7%9B%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A1%D7%942.jpg COMMERCIAL - Main floor entrance Scope of Work 17,658 sq ft.

Scattered trees, seats mimicking pebbles and over-sized flowers placed on the main floor provide a playful environment upon entrance. Each floor has its season's graphics on the glass railings, walls and reception areas at the nurse's stations with colorful seating, tables and tiles. The light fixtures resembling stars in the sky emphasize height and draw the eye up to the skylight connecting the interior to the architecture of the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1720968388043-SS0BTMJK77YJNO2NTTOO/20230209_Lobby01_deep_CC.jpg COMMERCIAL - THE PUBLIC LOBBY ENTRANCE VIEW Scope of work - 1,120,000 sq ft.

Anchored by a signature botanical green wall, the concept introduces a strong identity and a sense of calm upon arrival. The interiors reinforce the building’s clean-lined architecture through precise claddings and a restrained, high-quality material palette. The volume of the space is emphasized through a continuous field of 5-inch vertical slats along the eastern wall, leading into the elevator vestibule. Integrated LED backlighting behind each slat enhances depth and rhythm—subtle during the day and more dramatic at night—creating a dynamic and memorable transition. The material palette is intentionally earthy and grounded, incorporating granite, slate, black pebbles, and white stone. These elements provide a rich interplay of texture and tone, balancing durability with modern sensibility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1662988966045-KF2NZC6VJ5YF0HEO6L5U/2022.08.03+-+80+York+Hill+Blvd+-+Eitz+Chaim+Kollel+-+Main+Shul+Op06+V01.png COMMERCIAL - THE KOLLEL HALL Scope of work - Approx 20,000 S.F, housing a school with daycare, elementary school and a high school.

Design Brief Design a conservative synagogue, classrooms, a multipurpose room, an event hall, a large pantry and a welcoming lobby. Concept - The design is guided by the building’s modern architectural language, defined by a composition of glass and concrete. In response, the interior embraces simplicity, allowing materiality, light, and form to shape the spatial experience. The main prayer hall is conceived as a serene and tranquil environment, expressed through a restrained palette of neutral tones and natural materials. An angled ceiling directs focus toward the stage, establishing a clear visual axis that is also maintained from the second-floor women’s section and adjacent open classroom. Natural light plays a significant role in defining the space, with large-scale windows creating a strong visual presence and enhancing the sense of openness and calm. A curated material palette of wood, travertine, glass, and stone reinforces the balance between warmth and minimalism. Upon entry, the donor wall serves as a key focal element within the lobby. Illuminated from within, it highlights the names of contributors adding a subtle layer of reverence to the space. https://www.romyblack.com/projects daily 0.75 2026-03-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/562bc417e4b0e2b30b061396/1445710671841-UA7S02BD0K54KH12RWSD/%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%95+%D7%99%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%A7+1.jpg RESIDENTIAL - living room Scope of work - 600 sq ft.
