Through the commissions that were in the office of Werner Seligmann, where I received my apprenticeship and worked for nearly a decade, my earliest exposure was to the new Science Building at SUNY Cortland, a series of mixed-income housing projects and a long-term contract for the urban renewal of Binghamton, NY.

This page presents the Elm Street Housing project located on West Hill in Ithaca, New York and now called West Village and operated by Omni New York.  I was one of two sites included in a “scattered site” contract.  The other site was for the Maple Ave project; the handsome site plan for that is included at the bottom.

I was part of the larger project team and yet was perhaps the only individual that was involved at every step of the project from initial design to project closeout.
