workshop/apd was founded in 1999 as a design firm with offices in New York City and Nantucket, Massachusetts. The firm specializes in high-end residential renovations, new home construction, and commercial development with an emphasis on the integration of sustainable methods that can help to identify and solve the challenges of the built environment in the 21st Century. In addition to focusing on sustainable building, the firm also recently launched a custom products line that includes furniture, lighting, and accessories.

workshop’s studio environment benefits from a diverse body of professional experience covering architecture, master planning, interior design, sustainable design, construction management, landscape design, and furniture design. Our approach to design looks beyond the singularity found within current architectural trends and takes advantage of the multiple perspectives that make up our society. This allows for a more intriguing and less predictable relationship between design and its context. Conventional boundaries between adjacent spaces are often transgressed, allowing activities to transition naturally across fluid thresholds. This results in performative spaces that collapse the form of function into the function of form. Furthermore, we are committed to reducing the ecological impact that the built environment has on our natural world while making sure that the social, environmental, and economic needs of our clients are met.
