I know we've sent out some great old-fashioned holiday postcards in the past, but this year, we've finally gone digital !
Sukkah City
Our entry for Sukkah City - a competition held in NYC in 2010 to celebrate the sukkah.
Customarily erected for one week each fall, the sukkah acknowledges the yearly cycle and celebrates the gathering of that which comes from the earth. It also serves as a collective meeting place where individuals come together to eat, drink and share ideas. It is a place that is both protected and vulnerable.
This sukkah is conceived as an intimate communal space composed of bundled recycled/recyclable materials one would find on the streets of New York. The exterior is a sheaf of 365 cardboard tubes tied together by orange construction fencing and pierced by a narrow particleboard passage. The interior volume is a perfect cube of space lined with bundles of the past year’s newspapers for both reading and sitting. The roof of the interior space is composed of open slats of unfinished wood surrounding a central oculus.

We were thrilled with David and his entire team's performance and skill in our store buildout. The "Katz Team" saw our project through from inception to completion... and were able to constantly arrive at creative and thoughtful solutions.

David has a good eye and creative ideas that really worked well for our space. He was always fair, easy to work with, and always kept our budget in mind. When it came time to start the work, he arranged for an excellent contractor who completed the work on time and with great workmanship.

David Katz has been a pleasure to work with from the beginning through the end of a major lobby renovation project in our building. He has been professional, attentive to detail, responsive, budget-minded, and creative in resolving all challenges. I would definitely enlist his services for future projects and recommend him to others.
