STUDIO V Architecture is an award-winning architecture and urban design firm that seeks to reimagine the 21stcentury urban condition. We specialize in transit-oriented developments and waterfront urban design at all scales, and adaptive reuse projects that repurpose historic structures for public use.
We believe cities are the greatest artifacts of man, containers of collective myths and desires. STUDIO V explores and renews cities by creating contemporary architecture that incorporates and enriches history while expressing the ideals of our time.
Our designs combine old and new, integrate modern architecture with historic structures, and contrast craft and digital fabrication. Our research reveals historic layers of sites and structures while our architecture incorporates the radical recycling of industrial and historic artifacts including bridges, tanks, warehouses, buildings, former secret laboratories, and grain silos into surprising new uses and successful public spaces.
Our architecture addresses the forgotten spaces of cities, to support entrepreneurs, reconnect neighborhoods, and promote equity. Our expertise in resiliency, affordable housing, waterfront design, public parks, brownfield remediation, reinventing infrastructure, and cultural spaces is transforming former edges into the new centers of urban life.
Our architectural designs incorporate expressive lattice shells, cable-nets, state of the art sustainable materials, and innovative solutions to save endangered historic structures. Our innovative approaches to digital fabrication are transforming public spaces, from an award winning underground street in Japan, to the longest bar in North America, to a pedestrian passage on a bridge over Niagara Falls.

ASTORIA, QUEENS — Studio V’s plan to build three high-rise apartment towers on the industrial Halletts Point peninsula won approval from Astoria's community board this week, in stark contrast to the harsh opposition that has met some other neighborhood projects.
Community Board 1 voted 19-14 to approve the rezoning needed to build the so-called Halletts North project. The now-empty lot on the peninsula's north side was formerly home to a steel plant before being purchased in 2013 by developers, who spent five years and $16 million cleaning it up.
One can’t miss the architecturally significant brick facade of the newest building in the Hamilton Park historic district of Jersey City.

Silo City by Studio V Architecture has won The Future Project of the Year 2021, which celebrates the best of the world’s architecture yet to be completed, at this year's World Architecture Festival. The World Architecture Festival was held virtual from 1 to 3 December, 2021.
Located in New York, Silo City is an impressive adaptive reuse of the largest collection of grain elevators in the world into a mixed-use arts and cultural complex. The judges were impressed by the way "this project started with the ruins of the world’s greatest collection of grain elevators, and through wonderfully seductive imagery envisages a future for them, the City of Buffalo - and of post-industrial cities."
The Hunts Point station, now vacant, is a dramatically dormered, ramshackle beauty whose steep-peaked, red-slate roof once boasted a contrasting patinated verdigris copper cornice.The station’s terra-cotta north facade, where stairs once went down to train platforms, is largely intact, and the developers plan to rehabilitate that historic fabric. A new Metro-North station is planned north of the old one. When the new station opens in 2027, “everyone arriving will be looking right at the back facade” of the old station, said Jay Valgora, the principal of Studio V Architecture, which is designing the old building’s rehabilitation. “And that will become the front door of the neighborhood.”
