AD100 firm Young Projects is an award winning creative collective of architects, interior designers, furniture makers, material creators and pop culture enthusiasts in Brooklyn, NY. We dream big and small, celebrating the process, the dialogue, and the notion that magic happens during iteration.
Our playful approach is to challenge and experiment while engaging a material’s expression, resulting in objects of curiosity: undulating roof geometries -- crisply folded or softly beveled, vibrant graphic tile trompe l’oeil, or an upside-down “marble” chair reviving 17th century plaster techniques.
We evolve and adapt, scrutinizing all considerations because our vision is rooted in collaboration. Our partnership with our clients is not a one-size-fits-all program, but a bespoke path of discovery creating a meaningful and memorable experience.
