Brief description

Andre Kikoski Architect is a Manhattan-based architecture and design firm that is committed to artistic innovation regardless of budget, genre or challenge.

Our projects are rooted within a single concept and idea. This approach allows us to create design with consistency, authenticity and integrity. We work in whatever style or language is best suited to that concept, and create spaces, buildings and objects that are inventive, unique and memorable.

Our passion for material research, our detail-orientation, and our client-centric approach have won the firm clients in a wide rage of categories - from exquisite private residences to award-winning arts and cultural institutions, as well as hospitality and commercial real estate projects. We routinely partner with renowned global brands to express their core identities through our work.

Andre Kikoski Architect is internationally recognized as the first firm in history to win a perfect trifecta of three of the most prestigious design awards for a single project in a single year -- the interior Design Magazine Best of Year Award, the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design, and the Gold Key Award for Hospitality Excellence.

We are also the recipient of the following honors: Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects; Building Brooklyn Award; three Lumen Awards for Lighting Excellence; Finalist honors for the Conde Nast Traveler Innovation and Design Awards; the Travel and Leisure Design Awards; and the International Restaurant and Bar Awards. We are also the recipients of: a James Beard Foundation Nomination; the Edwin Guth Memorial Award form the International Association of Lighting Designers; and several “Best of” awards in New York, California and Colorado.

The firm has been named as an “Up-and-comer to watch” by Departures Magazine, one of “Ten Young Firms to Keep an Eye On” by Oculus, the AIA New York Chapter magazine, and one of “The New Garde of Ten Designers To Watch” by New York Magazine. Our work is also featured in the soon to be published The New York Dozen: Gen X Architects, which explores how we are following the legacy of the ”New York Five Architects” - Richard Meier, Michael Graves, Charlie Gwathmey, Peter Eisenman, and John Hejduk.

Our work is featured on the covers of numerous books and in over 350 international publications such as Architectural Digest, Architectural Record, Fast Company, Interior Design, Surface Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Wallpaper, and WWD, among others.
