INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
For more than 25 years, the award-winning multidisciplinary architecture and design firm Workshop/APD has imbued its projects with sense of place and purpose and a desire to enhance the user’s experience through exceptional design. From penthouses and seaside retreats, to luxury residential developments, and groundbreaking hotels and restaurants, the Workshop/APD aesthetic is timelessly modern but site-specific, unbound by project type or a singular style. The firm’s collaborative team of architects, interior designers, and product designers in New York City; Minneapolis; Greenwich, CT; and Nantucket, MA leverages vast and highly varied experiences to solve complex design challenges, resulting in spaces, structures, and furnishings that are exceptionally beautiful and accessible.
COLLABORATIVE TO THE CORE
Workshop/APD’s greatest strength lies in the diverse talent and expertise of our multidisciplinary team. We bring global perspectives and vast experience in architecture, interiors, product design, planning, engineering and branding to projects of every type and scale. We pursue innovation relentlessly but never lose sight of the past.
OUR VALUES
At Workshop/APD, we put People First. From individuals and teams to consultants and clients, a commitment to Collaboration, Learning, Excellence, and boundless Creativity informs our process, projects, and the progress we make in architecture and design.
PEOPLE FIRST
A People First approach means centering the needs of the Workshop/APD team, our clients, collaborators, and colleagues. Our diversity is our strength, and we build a better practice by fostering community, prioritizing equity and inclusion, and creating a culture of mutual respect, compassion, and shared success.
CREATIVITY
Pushing the boundaries of architecture and design, we ask “What if?”, ideating and iterating to create uniquely tailored, one-of-a-kind solutions that are both forward thinking and contextually relevant. Unconstrained by a singular style or aesthetic, we begin each project with an exploration of the people, place, and purpose that makes it unique, applying a modern vision to contextually relevant architecture and design, with a focus on the endless ways that craft and technology can transform and elevate materials.
COLLABORATION
Seamless collaboration is the key to a holistic design process where architecture, interiors, and product are consciously intertwined. Through communication and compromise we gain a better understanding of a project’s direction and potential. This clarity and alignment create a clear path forward for flawless execution and innovation.
EXCELLENCE
Beyond beauty, we strive for intuitive, human-centered design, livable, comfortable spaces, flawless execution, and above all, extraordinary client experience. Every detail is conceived of and executed to perfection, with an equal emphasis on form and function. Our rigorous process, honed over nearly 25 years, ensures seamlessly integrated design at every scale.
LEARNING
Curious, engaged, and hands-on, we’re driven forward by a shared love of learning. Our past successes inform our future work, with a focus on constantly improving technically, aesthetically, and professionally. From exploring technological and sustainable developments to historical deep dives, we’re passionate about exploration, education, mentorship, and the transfer of knowledge between colleagues and teams.
THE WORKSHOP LENS
CRAFTED MODERN
We embrace technology and celebrate craft, bringing materiality and contrast to luxurious modern spaces. “Modern” underscores an innovative, forward thinking approach. “Craft” is an open-minded exploration of the ways that materials and connections can be elevated by transformation and continue to evolve over time. Finished, refined, textured, honed, engineered, joined and detailed: in revealing the hand of the maker we breathe life into the materials of our trade. Subtle variations created by man, machine, time or weather make each project and space unique. There is beauty in so-called “imperfections”, which imbue a decorative, tactile quality and invite investigation and touch, activating a relationship between a space and its inhabitants. This is what gives modern design a soul.

LUXURY, LIFESTYLE, PLACE-BASED AND HUMAN CONNECTIONS
How can a space shape you? We believe in good design’s power to shape the human experience, from ground-up architecture to our tactile, sculptural furnishings and fittings. Through a collaborative practice, we create luxurious interiors, exteriors, and products that spark interaction, exploration, and connection. We dive deep in development and hospitality projects, developing a unique conceptual lens, one-of-a-kind amenities, and engaging common spaces that drive meaningful interaction. We advance big ideas, committing to design that is ethical, poetic, and of its time, centering the client’s unique needs and desires, the contextual landscape, and the project’s purpose.

PRODUCT
We bring global perspectives and vast experience in architecture, interiors, product design, planning, engineering, and branding to projects of every type and scale. Our diverse collective of nearly 50 architects, interior designers, product designers and brand experts can own every step of the process – in projects at every scale –from inception to completion. In a hands-on, highly collaborative environment, we work seamlessly to realize complex projects with passion and skill, working across luxury residential, high-end development, and hospitality typologies.
Through program, massing, and form studies we find and build upon a site’s best attributes, framing a project narrative that informs all future design decisions. We understand how scale relates to interior architecture, exploring how people will interact in each space and how the interior selections will take form from this narrative. We think of each furnishing, fitting, fabric, and finish as an extension of its surroundings, creating interesting tension or subtly enhancing the architecture. We are obsessed with craft and construction, immersing ourselves in each detail’s endless options, studying the trade and its techniques, and exploring a material’s tactile qualities. We are committed to constantly honing and elevating our craft, and understand that architecture and design are a responsibility, with lasting effects on our clients and the greater community.

Workshop/APD has translated years of experience in the single-family home market into ground breaking hospitality, development, product design and branding work. The secret to our multidisciplinary success is applying the same client experience of craft, context and luxury to each category, resulting in uniquely tailored, contextually relevant designs. Our residences run the gamut from luxurious single-family homes, multi-generational coastal compounds, apartments, and townhouses to resort-like retreats. From urban multi-family projects like The Printing House, 111 Leroy Street and 88 & 90 Lexington to residential communities - like Nantucket’s Hawthorne Park and Cannonbury Lane – and an ever-expanding social living portfolio, our development work is known for creating a sense of community and engagement through thoughtful, unique amenities. Our award-winning hotels, restaurants and wellness spaces are vibrant and interactive, memorably imbued with a sense of place.

MASTER PLANNING
Workshop/APD’s approach to master planning reflects our decades of holistic design experience. Prioritizing privacy, outdoor access, and the activation of liminal spaces, examining the human experience creates a strong starting point for a beautiful, functional master plan. Each architectural designer at Workshop/APD engages in master planning and programming on their projects, prioritizing well-organized, beautifully landscaped, and carefully considered indoor and outdoor spaces within each vertical. Throughout our hospitality, residential and development projects we breathe life into inactive zones, instilling purpose and action though design.

From large-scale to boutique properties in major metropolitan areas and far-flung, remote locales, we carefully tailor hospitality designs to the desired guest experience.

We create spaces that enhance both hospitality and atmosphere, ensuring that form and function work together to support the culinary vision. Whether intimate and understated or bold and theatrical, our designs help shape memorable dining environments.

Our resort projects are designed to immerse guests in their surroundings, integrating architecture, interiors, and landscape to create a seamless experience. We focus on spatial flow, materiality, and comfort, ensuring that every space—from private rooms to shared amenities—feels connected to the location and its natural setting.
