nARCHITECTS is a Brooklyn-based architectural studio led by founding partners Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang and principal Amanda Morgan. Our work instigates interactions between buildings, public space, and their dynamically changing context. Across social and environmental change, we empower the communities with whom we work and design architecture for a world in flux. In our projects such as Carmel Place (NYC’s first micro-unit building), the Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center, the NYS Equal Rights Heritage Center, A/D/O Design Center, and the renovation of Chicago Navy Pier, nARCHITECTS is tackling the most pressing issues that our cities face – how we live, work, and activate public spaces in response to our nation’s housing shortage, evolving modes of work, and the need for diverse engagement in the public realm.
Current projects include the renovation and addition of the West New Brighton Library in Staten Island; the adaptive reuse of the MADE Campus at Bush Terminal; campus renewal and new construction for Teatown Lake Reservation; a nature center for Violet Cove in Suffolk County, New York; an affordable housing project for seniors in Brooklyn for the New York City Department of Housing, Preservation, and Development; updated visitor experience for the Staten Island Zoo; and a private residence in Ulster County, New York.
nARCHITECTS was awarded the 2023 National Design Award in Architecture from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Museum. Other national and international recognition includes the American Academy of Arts and Letters in Architecture Award, the AIA NYS Firm of the Year Award, an American Institute of Architects National Institute Honor Award, various AIA New York Design Honor and Merit Awards, a New York City Public Design Commission Award, the Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices, the Canadian Professional Rome Prize, Architectural Record’s Design Vanguard, and two New York Foundation for the Arts grants. nARCHITECTS is consistently listed among top architectural design rankings in the United States, and World Architecture News named nARCHITECTS “part of a select group crowned to lead the next generation of designers in the 21st century.”
