- Just as important as the end product; the design process is completely engaged with client and the architect.
- Each installation can be executed as a sculpture, architectural, furniture, or art piece; becoming unique to the needs of the client.

- Metro Rickshaw
- Work Station
THEORY
- " transportation in the city, for short distances, is easiest to achieve on a bike. bike taxis like the original indian rickshaw would add another mobile layer to the city."
IDEA
- " a thin bike with a seat for one over the front wheel could use spaces between cars and open alleys and sidewalks for transportation."
Client
- " the design competion judges focused on a new interpretation of the bicycle."
Project

- Rock Wall
- Kiosk
- Glass Skin + Bridge
- Light Cove
- Housing 01
- Max House
THEORY
- "holding a naturally heavy material (rock), in a confined and organized space (metal grating). The request was for sound protection to an existing fence. the solution was an installation within the urban courtyard that added mass and texture."
Client
- "This courtyard can be seen at my current house."
Project
- Aspen, Colorado - u.s.a. Photos and Drawings by Noah Czech
THEORY
- "the theory of this project is to upgrade the old idea of a roman kiosk to a modern way information can be distributed. The kiosk is an 8'-0" tall metal framed hour glass with interior lights. at night, the light illuminates the volume with the colors of the advertisement paper"
Client
- "the client is anyone that needs current information within a city."
Project
- Boulder, Colorado - u.s.a. Photos and Drawings by: Noah Czech
THEORY
- “the stark comparison of a pure glass box embedded in a pastoral landscape. The idea of the project was a volume that reflects its surrounds during the day and illuminates them at night, but allows for transparency at its point in the landscape."
Client
- " Maranda Ventures looked into this project as a complete collection and gallery space."
Credits
- Woody Creek, Colorado - u.s.a. Photos and Drawings by: Noah Czech
THEORY
- “the penumbra created by any light source can be controlled as it extends from the reflection point. The idea was to design a natural light cove that focuses light and increases gradient of the shadows."
Client
- “the light cove was designed as an art installation but was covered for privacy."

THEORY
- “the theory was based on the multiply layers of interaction within an office and how those layers and activities dictate the exterior facade and interior spaces. Three main volumes, extruded from layers, were tilted and shifted in plan and elevation."
Client
- "Studio B Architects."
Credits
- "Over a long weekend I worked at Studio B, directly with Derek Skalko, creating a Parti for a self driven design exercise." Photos and Drawings by: Noah Czech
THEORY
- "this is a building that emphasizes its materials and stoicism. The idea was to separate the public side of the house from the street by creating a museum quality facade for an entrance."
Client
- "Dennis emphasized that the building needed to make a statement in the neighborhood."
Credits
- "for this project i was employed at Studio B and worked directly with the client designing only the skinning of the building." Photos by: Todd Hido / Drawings by: Noah Czech
THEORY
- "the theory was to create a new typology and form by combining a Home and a Museum. The idea of the project was to execute a monolithic piece of art and architecture in a small mountain neighborhood."
Client
- "Mr. Scholl was very involved through the entire project and pushed for perfection."
Credits
- "I was employed at Studio B for this project, and worked directly with the client on the form, elevations, exterior skin and details of the building." Photos and Drawings by: Noah Czech

Credits
- "on weekends and evenings, while employed at Studio B, I worked on this competition with Mike Piche" Photos and Drawings by: Noah Czech
THEORY
- " in certain contexts, like a college campus, a building has the ability to pick up design ideas from the surrounding buildings and create a hybrid in both form and context."
IDEA
- " the final school design created a dynamic intersection of two roofs formed by directly adjacent buildings."
Client
- " the client was a board of faculty and local designers that were looking for an understanding of their requirements and site."

THEORY
- “this project was initially designed as a mixed use complex for Studio B but after removing the exterior skin I realized it had the perfect location and design intent for a museum."
