IMC Architecture has launched its new interior design studio. Director of Design Federigo Luzzi leads the new interior practice for the Brooklyn-based worship, education, commercial and multi-family architectural firm.
IMC’s recent work in the worship market includes the 28,000-square foot Persian Congregation of Flatbush at 1709 Coney Island Avenue, the 40,000-square foot Kosev Congregation at 1355 55th Street, and the 58,000-square foot 50 Lawrence Avenue religious school, all in Brooklyn, NY.
“Our new interior design group will both serve its own clients and support IMC’s architectural projects. The studio will take advantage of the increasing volume of interior work in the New York City, national and international markets,” shares IMC Principal Eugene Mekhtiyev, AIA, LEED GA.
“Our interior design team brings together a group of accomplished designers with a wealth of experience and familiarity with international and multi-cultural aesthetics and practices. This expertise has already helped us win several new projects,” adds Luzzi.
IMC’s announcement explains, “Known for its quality architecture, contemporary aesthetic, technical acumen and zoning expertise, IMC Architecture has designed some of the most prominent recent projects in New York City and the greater New York Area. The firm is one of the pioneers of the modular design and construction technology in New York City and regional multi-family properties. In addition to design services, the firm also operates an affiliated zoning, expediting and permitting consultancy CORE Consultants.”
Three principals established IMC in 2015, following accomplished careers at leading regional and national firms: Eugene Mekhtiyev, AIA, LEED GA; Jonathan Imani, AIA, NCARB; and Dominick Casale, AIA, NCARB. Working mainly in the highly regulated urban environments of New York City and the greater New York area, the founders believe compliance and creativity aren’t mutually exclusive. “We play by the regulatory rules and design beautiful buildings,” said Casale.
The firm’s portfolio features in excess of seven million square feet of architectural design and consulting projects, totaling more than $750 million in construction value.
