Grimshaw - Gun Hill Road
Before launching Studio SJ in 2018, founder S. Jazmine Fugate worked for over a decade at the offices of other architects. While at Grimshaw from 2012-2015, she focused on higher education buildings and collaborated on occasion with Grimshaw Industrial Design.
Grimshaw Architects was invited by a developer to join their team for this competition set up by the New York City Economic Development Corporation for a site in the Bronx. The site was for sale to raise funds for the owner, the Metropolitan Transit Authority, and the winning developer would prevail based on community-friendly design AND their bid for the site. Grimshaw designed this retail, residential, and community building, working with DBox for visualization. Fugate was responsible for planning and team coordination.
