Brief description

Founded by Jeanne Gang in 1997, Studio Gang is a collective of architects, designers, and thinkers producing transformative architecture. Our studio’s work is based on compelling ideas rather than repetitive formal principles.

Our practice acts as a lab for testing ideas on varying scales: from cities to environments to individual buildings’ unique material properties. This open and collaborative approach enables owners to participate in our design process, making choices as the project develops. Driven by curiosity, intelligence, and radical creativity, our process yields provocative and alluring architecture that responds to its specific place and purpose.

Embedded in our way of working is the search to reduce a project’s energy and material footprint while simultaneously seeking out the exciting synergies made possible by sustainable design. Everyone at Studio Gang offers deep knowledge of green solutions: all team members are required to become LEED Accredited Professionals within one year of joining the firm, and several of our projects are targeting a LEED Platinum rating.

The work of Studio Gang has received national and international recognition and has been published and exhibited widely.
