STUDIO AMES, LLC is an award-winning architectural design and research office, based in New York City. We research housing policy to understand their social impacts, and we research sustainable construction techniques to understand their environmental benefits. The research is visually represented and used to inform the design of new housing projects that are healthy, safe, and affordable. These conditions are achieved using our unique architectural language that includes geometric alignments, symmetries, and tangents to support a variety of adaptable unit configurations.
