Spring Place is a 24,000-square-foot [2,230m2] members-only club organized on two floors of a Tribeca building in New York City. It is comprised of a social component which covers the upper floor, and a shared office component at the lower floor.

The design concept behind the project derives from the brutalist architectural feats of the 20th century. At the core of that architectural design movement was unpretentious honesty of materials and form. In that framework, we devised a system of concrete walls which intersect while never turning a corner. The purpose was to make the connection of these intersecting surfaces the only architectural expression needed. Exhibiting the lack of negotiation between the planes was an opportunity for lightness where they cantilever in dramatic distances, a tool to layer light where they run parallel [while at different heights], an agent of balance because their geometric purity exists without noise.
