Andrew Franz Architect PLLC

Founded in 2003 by Andrew Franz, Andrew Franz Architect PLLC is an award-winning and widely published architecture and design studio based in New York City. With projects ranging from houses and apartments to commercial and cultural facilities, the studio creates engaging buildings and spaces that are thoughtfully detailed and highly functional with a rich, modern sensibility to stand the test of time. Noted for creating carefully crafted and exceptionally built homes and interiors, Andrew Franz Architect emphasizes the user experience and meaningful connections to the natural environment. The firm works to create flexible, comfortable spaces that bring people together, always striking a balance between practicality and pleasure. Their designs are specific to their site and purpose—neither a statement of current trends, nor seeking to recreate the past. The studio is a close-knit and experienced team of 12 architects, LEED-accredited professionals, and interior designers. The team promotes an approachable and open creative environment that shares original ideas and proven building practices. Andrew Franz Architect approaches each project as a collaborative exploration with their clients to create distinctive and intensely individual design solutions. Whether working on new construction or renovations, the studio is passionate about sustainable and lasting building practices and new technologies to make their projects as smart, energy-efficient, healthy and low-maintenance as possible while reducing costs and environmental impact. The resulting solutions are timeless and fresh, across a broad portfolio of new construction, additions, interior renovations, and historic restorations in Manhattan, on Fire Island and Long Island’s East End, in Connecticut, Colorado, and Maine, and on Martha’s Vineyard and the Bahamas. The firm’s primary goal is to create designs with a positive impact on people, communities, and the environment.
