Most recently, the studio completed commission for the exhibition Emerging Ecologies: Architecture and the Rise of Environmentalism at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), a TV studio / store for TELFAR's residency at Selfridges' Corner Shop in London, and a project for artist Timur Si-Qin at the newly-opened Meta headquarters in New York.

The studio’s portfolio encompasses a wide range of cultural, institutional, and commercial projects including exhibition design, support for artists, scenography, and activism. DVLPR works regularly at the intersection of art and architecture and has realized significant cultural projects with artists and institutions such as Kevin Beasley at the Whitney Museum of American Art and Cady Noland at the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt.
