Profile
Though his career has led him to places as different
as the Arizona desert and New York City, Eric Robinson’s
work is unified by his passion for creating architecture
that resonates with place and purpose. His keen
technical imagination and considered approach to
materials are revealed throughout his portfolio, which
includes custom residences, corporate offices, and
cultural institutions. Whether using simple materials to
poetically respond to an intense climate or integrating
technical infrastructure into a refined space, he strives
to find the beauty that emerges from honest, simple
design solutions.

creating a master bedroom suite that incorporates
a painting studio and porch, and providing two

Phase: Completed 2007
When a debilitating illness rendered a beloved five-level
residence inaccessible, the owners hired Melander
Architects to study ways to integrate an elevator into the
home. Careful analysis found that an existing light well
could accommodate a custom-three-sided elevator while
retaining most of the light well's function and minimizing
the impact on the interior spaces.

The buildings are long and low, with each one looking
back on the others across the open courtyard. They
speak an understated farm vernacular composed of
simple forms, natural materials, and finely crafted
details. Spartan concrete floors and corrugated steel
roofs mix with cool stucco plaster and warm fir windows
for an effect that is both rural and modern.
