	Projects &#124; About
WIP Collaborative is closing its chapter! Founded in 2020 from WIP (Work in Progress &#124; Women In Practice), the collaborative was led by co-founding members Abigail Coover, Bryony Roberts, Elsa Ponce, Lindsay Harkema, Ryan Brooke Thomas, Sera Ghadaki, and Sonya Gimon as a shared practice of independent designers who worked together on design and research projects in the public realm. As WIP Collaborative concludes, members will continue to focus on their respective practices - linked below. 


From 2020-2026, WIP Collaborative transformed public spaces in NYC and beyond with vibrant, inclusive, and site-specific installations informed by community voices and local contexts. The collaborative built partnerships to advocate for inclusive public space, gender equity, and neurodiversity. Their award-winning work is recognized and supported by AIANY, Architect’s Newspaper, Beverly Willis Foundation, Bloomberg Citylab, Cultured, Design Trust for Public Space, Metropolis, Urban Design Forum, and the New York Times. 
We're proud of the projects, collaborations, and growth that have shaped the past six years, and support each other as we move on to what’s next.&#38;nbsp;

WIP (Work In Progress &#124; Women In Practice) continues as a platform for design collaboration, rethinking conventions of practice, and creating transformative shared spaces.WIP is a certified Women-owned Business Entity (WBE) in NYC and New York State.

	Tidal ShiftThe Shed Summer PlazaNew York CitySummer 2022A site specific installation at the Shed for public use and to support live DJ and dance performances as part of the outdoor summer programming.
Tidal Shift responds to the angular geometry of the Shed’s facade and offers sculptural platforms for sitting, lounging, performing, and gathering. In contrast to the monumental towers and vast public spaces of Hudson Yards, the project supports the scale of human bodies through inclined planes and stepped surfaces that invite play, rest, and social connection. 
This project continues the work of WIP Collaborative, a shared feminist practice of independent designers, which creates spaces for embodied experiences in the public realm. Tidal Shift’s family of sculptural shapes supports both everyday relaxing and a range of summertime programming from the Shed, enabling multiple configurations for performances, dance parties, and events. The blue-green colors and undulating forms of the project are celebrations of movement and action on the plaza, as well as expressions of solidarity with the “Green Wave” of feminist activism that has gained global momentum with recent hard-fought victories for women’s healthcare rights in Latin America. Through its forms, colors, and responses to context, the project calls for a tidal shift in the liberation and care for diverse embodied experiences.WIP Collaborative Team:Elsa PonceLindsay Harkema
Bryony RobertsRyan Brooke Thomas
Abby CooverSera GhadakiSonya GimonAbout Summer Sway:Inspired by the rich history and vibrant presence of Black social dance in NYC and beyond, the Summer Sway lineup includes DJ and dance performance events by various artists on the plaza every Friday and select Saturday evenings during the summer of 2022.

	Soft FitsThe Bentway Studio Terrace
Toronto, Ontario, CASummer 2024
Few public spaces are designed with teenagers in mind. For Soft Fits, Brooklyn’s WIP Collaborative worked with local youth to create a playful lounge-scape under the trees at the edge of The Bentway Studio Terrace facing Canoe Landing Park.

Soft Fits creates a playful lounge-scape for people of all ages to gather, hang out, explore, and connect in the heart of downtown Toronto. Situated under the trees at the edge of The Bentway Studio Terrace facing Canoe Landing Park, this site-specific installation blurs the boundaries between hard and soft public space. 

Inspired by the cliffs, bluffs, and forest landscapes that are found in and near the city, the installation features netted frames that form inviting, shared spaces under and between the trees. The design is informed by surveys conducted with local teenagers about what softness means to them and their spatial and experiential preferences in urban contexts. While conventional playspaces &#38;nbsp;are typically designed for small children and other public spaces feel more intended for older adults, Soft Fits offers a welcoming place for teens, whose needs are often overlooked or excluded in the public realm.&#38;nbsp; 

With varied heights, curvatures, and slopes, the pieces encourage playful engagement for everyone. Hand-crafted woven textures and fringes introduce a soft materiality on the Terrace, inviting users to engage through touch.&#38;nbsp; 

Soft Fits is shaped by feminist design principles and communal acts of weaving that gain strength through softness, healing, and togetherness. WIP collaborated with local artist Colleeen McCarten to weave, braid, twist, and tie reclaimed cords into the installations’ netting, encouraging local teens in particular to “create their fits” and make the public space their own through a collaborative design process.

	All-In
Art OmiGhent, NY2023
All-In is a site-specific installation designed for Art Omi in the context of the Shared Space—Collective Practices  exhibition. While most gallery installations are designed simply to be walked around and contemplated, All-In is an inclusive intervention that invites engagement with users of all ages. 
Four unique but cohesive elements come together in the gallery as a dynamic and flexible platform for various uses. Utilizing a range of geometry, materials, colors, and textures, the installation builds on WIP’s focus on creating spaces that offer choice of usage to enable diverse embodied experiences. The elements are open for interpretation by the user as worktable, seating surface, climbing structure, or otherwise. 
For children participating in creative workshops held in the gallery, the installation invites them to touch, sit, stand, slide, and create on the various surfaces. 
All-In also incorporates recycled rubber leftover from WIP’s Tidal Shift public installation at the Shed in the summer of 2022, as a visual and tactile nod to the continuity between WIP’s built works.

About the exhibition:Shared Space—Collective Practices presents the work of four international collaborative design practices—WIP, FUNdaMENTAL Design Build Initiative, Colloqate Design, and Assemble—bringing people together through communal work to realize projects with broader social impact. These collectives share a multi-disciplinary approach, with teams often composed not only of architects, but collaborating with individuals with a variety of backgrounds and ranging professional expertise, including urbanists, sociologists, and community organizers.

Testing the power of advocacy, the presented projects emerge in public spaces and through collaborative relationships with the communities they serve. They center on playfulness and resourcefulness, blurring the boundaries of public and private property, and emphasizing communal agency and ownership. In this way, the projects address larger social concerns and the impact of economic transformation, with a particular focus on urban densification, underserved or neglected areas, social inequity, and democratization of space with the goal of building community and collective knowledge.

	Little Egg
Restaurant backyardBrooklyn, NY2023
WIP Collaborative created a flexible backyard seating area for the newly opened Little Egg restaurant in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The design responds to the unique geometry of the existing yard and the intent for a multi-use environment to support a range of programs, from everyday dining service to casual gatherings to intimate group dinners. A combination of fixed and movable elements enable the space to transform for each use. The multitone material palette creates a cohesive and cheerful setting for patrons and community members to enjoy.

	Lean On UsFinalist, Van Alen Institute’s Public Realm R&#38;amp;D programDowntown Brooklyn
2021An interactive, public installation for the plaza at 300 Ashland to create a soothing and multi-sensory experiences to support a range of individuals, uses, and activities, as a space for social healing.
As New Yorkers, we depend on public spaces as extensions of our living spaces —
essential for socializing, being alone, and building communities. For people with sensory
sensitivities, it is also important to provide a choice between a range of environments.
After the social isolation and trauma felt by so many during the pandemic, New Yorkers
need opportunities to gain comfort, healing, and connection with their neighbors.

Lean on Us by WIP Collaborative will insert interactive elements onto the plaza at 300
Ashland that will offer soothing and multi-sensory experiences to facilitate a meaningful
togetherness in the community. Incorporating therapeutic movement techniques1, the
project will introduce illuminated structures of support for rocking, leaning, and gazing.
As a programmatic layer to the installation, Lean On Us will engage the local network
of storytelling and literary organizations to enhance the installation’s healing sensory
experiences with a communal practice rooted in tradition, as a way to work through
collective experience and trauma.Building on previous research and design work on supporting neurodiversity in public
spaces, WIP proposes Lean On Us, which would transform the plaza into a soothing and
interactive space that is more supportive of a range of individuals, uses, and activities.
The installation will comprise of three large-scale elements inserted into the site that
support body positions and movements2 often used therapeutically as endorphin releases
to improve mood and release stress: Rock, Lean, and Gaze. 
In the wake of the pandemic
where stress and anxiety are heightened, particularly around public spaces, Lean On Us
will create a structure of support and sensorial landscape through a layering of lighting,
materiality, textures, and thoughtful programming at a time when it is needed the most.

	Restorative GroundBuilt public streetscape installation
Winner, Care for Hudson Square New York City2021 - 2022A public streetscape installation in Hudson Square, NYC that offers a multifaceted landscape of choice and a new vision for inclusive and immersive public space. 
Restorative Ground provides a range of spatial qualities - high and low stimulation, tactile materials and textures - in order to create an environment that supports a variety of sensory experiences. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the installation utilizes that range of conditions to create distinct experiential zones: focused, active, and calm. During the period of its installation from July to November 2021, Restorative Ground offers a dynamic platform for public life to re-emerge in Hudson Square; a place for individual and collective engagement, recreation, and healing.WIP Collaborative Team:Abby Coover

	The Neurodiverse CityWinner, Design Trust for Public Space RFP 
“The Restorative City: Building Community Wellness Through Public Space” New York City2021-
with Verona Carpenter Architects and AHRC NYC
 The Neurodiverse City is an ongoing research and design initiative in partnership with The Design Trust for Public Space to reimagine NYC's public spaces to better support neurodiversity. Learning from the experiences and knowledge of neurodivergent self-advocates, the teams are applying learnings from participatory workshops and surveys with local community organizations to design prototypes for NYC streets and playgrounds. Ultimately, the Neurodiverse City aims to identify scalable ways of creating neuroinclusive environments in the public realm.
Through a multi-year, phased research and co-creation process with local organizations that champion neurodivergent communities, WIP is examining existing public streets and designing prototypes to make them more sensory friendly. The learnings from these prototypes will inform new guidlines to support the greatest range of physical, emotional, and neurological differences in the public realm.

In Fall 2025, WIP Collaborative installed and tested built prototypes developed through site-specific workshops with self-advocates from AHRC and collaboration with multidisciplinary design partners at Louise Nevelson Plaza in Lower Manhattan.

	How Does a Tower Meet the Street?
Public Realm Consulting for Commercial High-Rise Development:&#38;nbsp;











Ground Floor + Street Design
Hudson Yards, New York City
2021
with COOKFOX, Lendlease
 In a neighborhood of shiny high rise towers and empty open plazas, what is
the architectural response that could enable a more human scale and
community engaged experience? WIP Collaborative was asked to
collaborate with Lendlease and CookFox Architects on their proposal for a
mixed use development at 418 11th Ave in Hudson Yards. As design
consultants focused on the public realm, WIP contributed a ground floor
and adjacent street design to create a continuous interior/exterior
environment serving a broader population than the building tenants and
contributing a more vibrant public realm at the street level. 
Who is this for?
A well-known critique of Hudson Yards development is that while it claims
to be openly accessible to the public, it is designed to be an urban enclave
for the wealthy. Dominated by commercial offices, luxury residences, and
high-end restaurant and retail offerings, it is “mixed use” but serves a very
narrow slice of the population and contributes little to a vibrant and diverse
public realm.

Analysis of the local demographic data reveals the disparity in income,
household, age, and race between Hudson Yards and surrounding areas.
Furthermore, Hudson Yards lacks the diversity of the general NYC
population that is essential for a vibrant and equitable public realm. Knowing
this, we aimed to create a continuous public environment at the ground
level that would feel comfortable and welcoming for all from exterior to
interior, with natural and human scale environments that are inviting and
accommodating without requiring a visitor to spend money or be put on
display.
