Maspeth Residence is a wooden frame, multilevel single family house in Williamsburg that CRÈME gut renovated. The frame was left in tact, the rest of the building was modernized. The exterior is clad in black metal siding and the interiors are organic and neutral, with white oak floors. The shape of the house looks like what a child might draw when they imagine a house.  

Cups for the Future. CRÈME identified gourds as a fast growing plant that bears robust fruits each season, developing a strong outer skin, and fibery inner flesh. Once dried, gourds have traditionally been used by ancestors as receptacles like cups. CRÈME explored this centuries-old craft, using molds to grow gourds into functional shapes, such as cups and flasks to create sustainable, renewable, and compostable products without waste.

Over the summer, Crème teamed up with St. Nicks Alliance’s as a part of the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development's Summer Youth and Workplace Challenge. This program’s mission is to expose participants to various industries to foster their career paths. We worked with a group of bright, young students ages 16-21, to design outdoor dining spaces for the restaurants of their choice during Covid-19.
