Firm 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 Conlin Bath in Bay Head, New Jersey.  In 2008 they received both the Gold and Best of Show awards from the Qualified Remodeler Master Design Awards for the renovation of another Bay Head, New Jersey beach house.
