INWORKSHOP is a full-service architecture and interiors firm founded in New York City. We take on projects globally. From small-scale interventions to large-scale developments, INWORKSHOP is committed to delivering the highest quality of service, design, and management, always putting the client’s vision at the forefront of its process.

Driven by a passion for the built environment, we work tirelessly to create beautiful spaces that move people and age gracefully. Every project has specific challenges that call for tailored solutions, and the office pursues opportunities (big and small) to offer typological innovation while addressing client needs with precision. We choose to be a boutique practice because this allows us to remain agile and selective when taking on new projects, and to focus on our craft. This way we actually enjoy our work, and ensure that each client and partner we work with receives the time, thought, and attention they deserve.

We are part of an international network of collaborators that assemble on a project-specific basis in order to deliver the highest quality of design, service, and management. With over 10 years of diverse experiences working at small, medium and large scales on private, non-profit, residential, commercial, hospitality and real estate development projects, our team is well equipped to shepherd your project through multiple facets of consideration.

We always sweat the details.
