Brake Point 26


Inspired by the stacked shipping container vernacular along the Port of Thessaloniki, Brake Point 26 creates a new urban experience both at the ground and in the sky. Characterized by a mixed-use program within asymmetrically stacked volumes that appear hoisted and suspended while held in motion, Brake Point 26 draws upon its surroundings to establish a dynamic beacon along the Thessaloniki coast.

Accentuated by expansive elevated terraces with views of both city and the sea, Brake Point 26 prioritizes open space in a densely developed urban site. Visitors experience the site from up close and afar, working their way up, through, and under the delicate structure holding these rhythmic forms above. Brake Point 26 respects the historic site structures by focusing the proposed interventions in strategic geometric arrangements around these historic nodes. Utilizing simple natural materials such as wood sunshades and promoting a connection to the outdoors, Brake Point 26 looks to redefine the port region with a bold, yet contextually sensitive design.

It is a balance of density versus open space, of practical versus inspiration, of structure versus lightness, of built versus natural.

Vilnius National Concert Hall

The placement of the theatre on top of a hill provides the ideal location for embracing the somewhat familiar sloped terrain in the architecture. Speaking its own language, its jagged shapes are easily recognizable from any vantage point within the city.

The transparent facade allows for the life inside to be visible from the outside. Clad in Corten steel, the two theatre structures embrace the beautiful and varied rust color. They provide both a backdrop for the public spaces and glow on the hill like a piece of amber where the fossils cast inside are alive and changing with every evening’s performance.

Goose Island

Located on the North Branch of Chicago's Goose Island, the concept design for this 280,000 sf building involves the conversion of a former furniture factory into a destination office experience.

Taking inspiration from the building's original industrial style, the red brick facade is beautifully contrasted against the stunning glass atrium that connects the two structures, the steel floor-to-ceiling window frames, and the enclosed glass balconies.

At the ground level, the design incorporates a cafe concept with enormous garage-style windows that allow the indoor dining space to be extended outside.

Encouraging collaboration and relaxation, the interior gallery also consists of a variety of comfortable seating options, arranged in groups as well as single pods. All of these elements are continued into the exterior gallery, which includes additional seating and a refurbished train car.

Finally, an additional amenity space is located on the massive green roof, which includes a deck with various seating arrangements, boasting sweeping views of the Chicago skyline.

MA Design Studio

In early 2018, Myefski Architects made a momentous move from the Chandler's Building in downtown Evanston to the historic Wrigley Building in downtown Chicago. Situated between the Magnificent Mile and the Chicago Riverwalk, the new studio boasts spectacular views and plenty of natural sunlight.

When building out the new office, the goal was to create a modern workspace that promotes creativity and teamwork. The primary color and material palette feature classic neutrals with Quartz and French oak accents, providing a clean contrast to the cityscape backdrop.

The open studio was created out of what was originally the Allstate Insurance office suite, which also happened to be one the building's first tenants. The columns and ceilings were left exposed to reveal the original concrete structure. These elements are intermixed with new mechanicals, which celebrates their function and visibility.
