!melk’s founding principal Jerry van Eyck [4] possesses an unusual breadth and depth of skills that he applies to every project under his purview. Trained as a landscape architect and industrial designer, he approaches each commission balancing both the macro-scale - how open and public space fit into the larger context of a city’s fabric and the urban experience, with the micro - materiality, ornamentation, and pattern as expressed through custom furniture, lighting, paving, and other details that provide each project its own singular identity. !melk is an award-winning landscape architecture fi rm, founded in 2010, based in New York City.

Jerry is a globally respected lecturer, and serves as a visiting critic at design institutions, which include, the Harvard GSD, the Yale School of Architecture, Columbia University’s GSAPP, and the Illinois Institute of Technology.
