STUDIO JOSEPH is a nationally recognized architecture studio based in New York City. Since 1998, the firm has built a reputation in the realms of building design, adaptive reuse, and exhibition installation. We specialize in history, community learning, and social justice. In this regard, we forge meaningful collaborations between institutional leadership and educational professionals. We enjoy the challenge of new parameters, unexpected requirements, and messy sites, but throughout all of these explorations, our most meaningful projects center around the public realm. Our designs alter meaning and place, helping bring together different constituencies through active participation, research, and respect for cultural diversity. As exhibition designers, we have the privilege of helping amplify voices that are silenced. As architects, we have the power to advance the design and presence of public buildings in underserved communities. While we are proud of our work, we realize that we can do more, and we pledge to use our skills and creativity to make a more profound change towards equity. Studio Joseph is a registered WBE nationally and in New York City. The firm was part of New York City's Department of Design and Construction's Design Excellence program.
