ABOUT Hi, my name is Jordan Lu, I am a motivated graduate of Pratt Institute Undergraduate School of Architecture. I wish to expand my horizons in the fields of architectural design, fabrication, and photography. I enjoy figuring out how things are made and how they come together. I believe that the best sense of accomplishment is to be able to work with my mind and my hands to produce quality and detail work that will be used by thousands of people everyday. My ultimate goal is to become a self-sufficient, licensed architect in New York, Hong Kong and China.

ShinolaTriBeCa, NYC

Shinola is an Detroit branded wax-based shoe polish company from 1907 to 1960. Shinola recently reopened in New York that sells custom handmade bicycles and watches.

Working with the Rockwell Group and MG & Company, we had the chance to work on this amazing flagship store in TriBeCa. We fabricated a custom steel catwalk and sprial staircase for exposed storage area for inventory. Finished with Japanese brown patina to give it a dark brown look and topped off with accents of brass to bring a warm and welcoming feel to the store. The Japanese brown patina brings out Shinola’s original color of the shoe polish, as the saying goes, “you don’t know sh*t from Shinola”.

For this project, we also fabricated the frame for the skylight panels, the numerous brass bicycle hangers and display shelvings throughout the store to match the rest of the metalwork.

This project has been featured in New York Times, CoolHunting, Dwell and many other publications.

The WayfarerMidtown, NYC

The Wayfarer, a two-story restaurant at the Quin Hotel in Midtown Manhattan is a place where locals and hotel guests can enjoy fresh seafood-focused menu in an inviting setting.

Working with Meyer Davis Studios and MG & Company, we had the chance to work on this giant 8,800 lbs. steel staircase suspended in air with hanger rods and finished with wood cladding. With precise field measurements, we were able to generate shop drawings and prefabricate parts in our shop in Greenpoint and build the entire staircase suspended in air on-site. We also worked on the miscellaneous metalwork found throughout the resturant bar area.

ChobaniSoHo, NYC

Chobani, the famous Greek yogurt opened its flagship store in SoHo on Prince Street in 2012.

We had the chance to work with a l m project and MG & Company on making this happen. The store is located in the historic Cast Iron District, using corten steel on the storefront to preserve its cast iron feel and yet a simple and clean design. This look and feel is carried through the entire store where we made corten steel diamond plate base for seating and corten steel custom t-bar and glass shelves for the vitrine. We also made the custom stainless steel t-bar shelves for the interior kitchen area.

Recently, near the end of 2013, due to its popularity in the area, the flagship store expanded, taking over its adjacent store and we had the chance to work on this project again, re-renovate the store with another set of custom corten steel storefront, custom interior metalwork, signage and deck with a spiral stairs for the staff to access the basement.

Park TerminalChinatown, NYCPratt Institute Degree Project

The Chinatown Bus network started as a mode of transportation for immigrant Chinese restaurant workers to travel to and from other major Chinatowns along the East Coast for work, as time passes, it attracted a more diverse group of travelers because it is inexpensive compare to flying or other bus companies. Due to its increasing popularity among commuters and lack of proper facility, many of these buses park on the streets of Chinatown to load and unload passengers causing congestion for vehicular traffic as well as pedestrian traffic, causing accidents and altercations because of tight spacing.

My thesis takes a critical view of micro and macro ecology of people in and around Chinatown by proposing a hub that sorts and mixes social and cultural diffusion. I want to create a hub which stitches two scales of network together—global and local. The global scale where travelers from other areas of the country reach as their destination, and local scale where people in the neighborhood can go and relax.

The site is located at Sara D. Roosevelt Park, and the idea is to elevate the park and use the movement of the bus as the programmatic base of the building, while the movement of people determines the placement of internal and external programs. This blends the boundary where the program and landscape becomes one another.

Musical CreatureClaremont Concert HallRiverside Drive, NYC

The idea of this concert hall was “a building that lives in a park”, so I looked at the building’s home, the park. I want people to be able to peacefully traverse through the park, which leads to a narrow-trapezoidal building footprint given by the site condition. The narrow base accomodates all the essential programs for visitor’s lobby and staffs, while the top heavy for everything else. Manipula-tion of the geometry by cutting through the building from the north at the slope of the auditorium to enhance a visitor’s experience and to feel consumed as you enter this heavy box and the ceiling begins to rise and the space opens up. The facade of the building is an attempt on emphasizing the building’s overall geometry while transforming the heavy and distorted box into a more dynamic being, a musical creature.
