Studio Update: Expanding Our Brooklyn Practice

Growth in architecture is often measured in square footage or headcount.
At ARCHVUE, we measure it differently.

This year marks a meaningful expansion of our Brooklyn studio—not in size alone, but in capability, perspective, and depth of practice.

Why expand now

Over the past few years, our projects have grown in complexity and scale. Residential work evolved into mixed-use developments, cultural spaces, and urban interventions.

Rather than outsourcing or accelerating production, we chose to grow internally—bringing new architects, designers, and researchers into the studio who share our commitment to clarity and restraint.

The goal was not speed. It was continuity.

Strengthening the core

Each new team member was selected carefully, not only for technical skill, but for alignment with our design values.

Our expanded practice allows us to:

• Dedicate more time to early research and site analysis

• Develop projects with greater technical rigor

• Maintain design leadership from concept through completion

Growth, for us, is about reinforcing the core—not diluting it.

A studio designed for collaboration

Alongside team growth, we rethought how our Brooklyn studio functions.

The space was reconfigured to support open dialogue, material experimentation, and slower design processes. Long tables replaced private desks. Model-making areas became central rather than peripheral.

The studio itself now reflects how we work: collectively, deliberately, and without hierarchy.

What stays the same

Despite expansion, our approach remains unchanged.

We still sketch by hand. We still build physical models. We still question every line. Expansion does not mean compromise—it means capacity.

Looking forward

As ARCHVUE continues to grow, our focus remains on depth rather than reach.

We are not interested in becoming larger for its own sake. We are interested in becoming better—project by project, space by space.
