F5: Sarah Jacoby Can?t Quit Glass Blocks, the NYC Ferry + More

Architect Sarah Jacoby shares her appreciation for her electric bike, a love of artists + a maker, and more in this week's Friday Five.

Born and raised in Venice, California, Sarah Jacoby combines a West Coast fascination of light and space with an appreciation of New York?s architectural history. Since founding the her eponymous firm ? Sarah Jacoby Architect ? in 2014, she’s worked on many project types, including new construction, renovation, houses, brownstones, and apartments that meet the ever-changing needs of her clients. Sarah designs to build, bringing a passion for resolving architectural problems with her to every design. Before launching SJA, Sarah had the chance to work at several leading firms, including Adjaye Associates, SOM, and Rogers Marvel, designing and building residential, commercial, and public projects throughout the New York City region and around the U.S. She carefully listens to clients, and her ability to translate their interests and desires into designed environments has resulted in many successful projects of different scales. Today, Sarah Jacoby joins us for Friday Five!
