GAL ZAK, DESIGNER & STYLIST
I love fabulous style, books, textures…and everything GREEN. My world travels ignited deep-seated inspiration and passion for style. Being a digital UX designer and self-confessed shopaholic, professionally practicing design and style was pretty much inevitable for me. I believe it’s the little things that count. Small details work flawlessly to craft an elegant bigger picture, transforming a simple wall into a great wall, and a house into an OMG home. I am creative by nature, treating every space I work on like my own. I shop for plants as if I’ll water them, couches that I’d love to watch movies all night on, and offices as if that is where my first coffee would be everyday. I enjoy getting inspired, growing and evolving my creativity by the people I work with, therefore I choose to collaborate with different designer architects on my projects.
ALFONSO RODRIGUEZ, GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND ARCHITECT
I won the Silver Certificate for Architectural Design 2012 Award, and soon realized it should hang on my mother’s wall back home in Ecuador, and that my real passion is on the field, working hard and seeing to every detail of the grand scheme come to life. It’s like rendering a 3D model in real life. My knowledge as an architect combined with my creativity and obsession for details is what makes me the ideal GC pairing to this detail oriented studio. I’ve worked in NY and Brooklyn buildings and corporations for over a decade, and have the experience one needs to executed projects on both a precise time line and budget.
ALEX RUBIO, PROJECT MANAGER
I build, I carry, I get IT done! I’m a fierce single mom in the city. Being brought up in LA and having spent many years in NYC, I am a people’s person. When working on renovation projects in this great city, you gotta be organized and know your way around building managements and superintendents, these relationships can make or brake any project. I over see the renovation process from the demolition stage until that last nail in the wall. I take care of all procurement schedules and communication with the GC on the field. I am detail oriented and have a great eye for design.
