BSC is pleased to have our Three Mile Harbor House featured in Architectural Record’s ‘House of the Month.’ Our transformation of a modest cottage in East Hampton for a family of four created a house for indoor/outdoor living with expanded views of the harbor and east and west-oriented windows that animate the interiors throughout the course of the day.

BSC is proud to be honored at BWI’s event celebrating 25 years of job-training initiatives in the Brooklyn community. BWI empowers low-income New Yorkers by creating living wage employment opportunities and access to career paths. Their programs counter prevailing market inequalities, especially those based on race or gender, and contribute to a broader movement for economic justice. BSC has collaborated with BWI over 13 years creating custom-designed furniture and millwork that has benefited our clients while providing an opportunity for innovation and experimentation with the BWI team.

BSC is excited to be featured in Tim McKeough’s column ‘The Fix’ exploring architectural lighting. The article highlights the many ways layered light, using both natural and electric sources, can enhance a space, with lighting transcending mere visibility to shape how we feel in a space. Our River Apartment and 12th Street Loft are examples of how utilizing light from multiple sources can make a room come alive.

We’re honored to be working with Callicoon Depot Inc., the Callicoon Business Association, and the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway on the adaptive reuse of the historic Callicoon Train Depot in Callicoon, NY. Bade Stageberg Cox Architects has been selected to lead the design of Phase 1 renovations, transforming the former railway station into a Visitor Center and flexible community space for cultural, civic, and educational programming.

BSC is proud to have designed the National Academy of Design’s new home, marking a pivotal moment in the institution’s 200-year history. The inaugural exhibition, Drawing as Practice, sets the tone for this transformation—challenging traditional definitions of drawing while placing the Academy in dialogue with the contemporary art and architecture world. Our design converted a Chelsea gallery into a flexible suite of exhibition spaces encircled by staff offices and support space. Minimalist walls, custom plywood vitrines, and simple custom seating create a quiet framework that supports both experimental installations and historic works.

BSC’s design of The Photography Show, presented by the Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) at Center 415 in midtown Manhattan, attested to the power of fine art photography. The 30,000 sq. ft. venue’s layout was designed to showcase 44 galleries, and featured BSC’s installation Light and Space, a collaboration with Roscoe Laboratories utilizing colored light gels as lens through which to view and define space.

We’re excited to announce the opening of our newly renovated home for the Catskill Art Space, a nonprofit arts organization showcasing local and regional artists through an expanded program of art exhibitions, lectures and live performances. Our work with CAS re-envisioned their use of a former movie house on Main Street in Livingston Manor, NY with expanded galleries, renovated classrooms, a multi-purpose space, and bespoke installations of works by artists James Turrell and Sol LeWitt.

For its new home in Tribeca, Artists Space turned to BSC, where our design sensitively bridged the organization’s radical legacy with the material history of its cast-iron building, originally constructed in 1867. Working closely with executive director and chief curator Jay Sanders, principal Martin Cox—a board member and longtime collaborator with artists—led a renovation that emphasized subtlety and intentional restraint. “The challenge was how to make it look like we did very little—but, basically, we had to do everything,” Sanders explains. One of the most striking interventions is the addition of a new entrance through Cortlandt Alley, a move requiring Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. Once inside, a newly sculpted central stairway offers movement in every direction—up, down, left, or right—setting the tone for a space defined more by potential than prescription. The new two-level space supports Artists Space’s founding mission as a practitioner-driven, artist-centered venue for experimental exhibitions and performance. The renovation reflects an ethos of openness and modesty, echoing downtown loft aesthetics of the 1970s more than the polished neutrality of contemporary galleries. The flexible interior, preserved cast-iron columns, and quiet material choices all serve to recede institutional presence in favor of artistic control. With a 20-year lease in place, Artists Space is poised to continue fostering ambitious new work, maintaining its reputation as a key site of generative friction in the evolving cultural fabric of New York.

We are honored to have Casa de Sombra included in GA HOUSES’ 165 edition. The photoshoot offered us the rare opportunity of meeting the storied photographer Yukio Futagawa and seeing our work presented through his lens. A combination of black and white and color photography captures both the richness of the material palette and the atmospheric conditions of cool interiors shaded from the extreme local climate.

Principals Tim Bade and Jane Stageberg interpret Olana’s architecture, landscape, and exhibition ‘In Frederic Church’s Ombra: Architecture in Conversation with Nature’ on guided tours of the Olana grounds and current exhibition.

The NY LASER program is a series of lectures and presentations on art, science, and technology-related projects founded by artist and writer Ellen K. Levy. BSC’s presentation of The Evergreenhouse facilitated a conversation around the project’s cultural aspirations and its grounding in emerging technologies on the subject of human interment.

EXIT Architecture is a speculative look at designing for the afterlife in all its potential architectural and design forms. This exhibition presented a critical and speculative look at the present and future of this realm of design. Our entry, The Evergreenhouse, envisions a new model for the interment of the dead and celebration of the living through the creation of a crystalline mausoleum where human remains become the growing medium for a botanic garden. Scaled to contain a large tree, the gathering space for visitors and internment ceremonies sits above a subterranean vault accommodating the garden’s root systems and containers for the interred.

We were excited to host visitors from Open House NY’s tour of Brooklyn to our studio on Chapel Street. Visitors mingled with our team throughout the day, with the work of our office fostering a lively exchange on topics of design and the city.

Principal Jane Stageberg led a panel discussion at The Armory Show entitled ‘Art, Collecting and Architectural Space.’ We were pleased to be joined by panelists Richard Gluckman, Suzanne Modica, and Bernard Lumpkin, who shared their unique perspectives on art, collecting, and fomenting relationships between art and architecture.

Jane presented BSC’s design for The Armory Show at a lecture series by ArtTable, a professional organization dedicated to advancing the leadership of women in the arts.

BSC presented an exhibition of their design for the Catskill Art Space in the formerly disused 2nd floor space of CAS’s historic building on Main Street in Livingston Manor, NY. The exhibition was an opportunity to gather feedback from local and regional community stakeholders and to build support for the project during its design and construction planning stages.
