Profile / Bio
Richard Bubnowski has been designing
commercial and residential projects in
the New York metropolitan area for over twenty years. Specializing in New
Urban residential and mixed-use projects, Richard spent several years working
with the nationally renowned architectural firm of Looney Ricks Kiss in Princeton, along
with many other
firms, before opening his own design studio in 2005. Today his
award-winning studio currently focuses on
designing highly crafted houses along with furniture inspired by traditional and contemporary
architectural styles. His ability to redefine traditional styles with a clean,
modern approach has developed into the signature of his practice.
He received his
architectural training at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC
and later studied at Pratt Institute where he received his professional degree.
He has also continued his post graduate studies through seminars at the Graduate
School of Design at Harvard.
Over the years his work has been published in Coastal
Living, Style 1900, Home, Design NJ, Metropolitan Home, Arts &
Crafts Homes, Old House Interiors, and Builder Magazine.
The architecture and furniture of his Surfers End House was
featured in the 2006 Summer / Fall issue of Style 1900 and the
October 2007 issue of HOME Magazine as well as Old House Interiors as recently
as November 2009. RBD's "Diana Chair"
was included in Lark Books' publication, "500 Chairs". His
drawings, designs, and furniture have been exhibited at Pratt Institute, The Shirley Goodman Resource
Center at FIT, The Van Alen Institute, and The Michael Ingbar Gallery of
Architectural Art in New York City. He has also been an exhibitor at
the Fine Furnishings Show in Providence.
Since opening his studio, his
firm has
completed residential projects along the coast of New Jersey as well as a
vacation home in Costa Rica. He is currently working on additional
ideas for his Surfers End furniture collection, as well as houses along the
coast. Most
recently, his firm has received a 2010 Watermark Award for the renovation of the
