On projects ranging from modest residential renovations to urban renewal on a civic scale, our studio's architects and landscape architects collaborate across disciplinary borders to reveal a site's potential and explore its context. Both meanings of "PLANT" inspired our name: we are makers who value process, craft, and construction, and we have a deep-rooted connection to a sense of place, landscape, and natural materials.

Our projects are the result of an interactive design process with our clients to develop architectural solutions of clarity, economy, and grace. The solutions are never preconceived; rather they are the product of careful research and response to each unique situation and need. The work focuses precisely on the particular attributes of site and context, thoughtfully expanding upon them to arrive at form. Our design sensibility is characterized by a subtle choreography of movement, light, and material textures to create spaces that unfold into dynamic yet unified environments.

We believe we have a responsibility to create thoroughly good design. And we believe that every good design starts with a clear understanding of function and use, consideration of the surrounding context and and a deep appreciation of client direction. We believe in embracing complexity. Many factors affect design - the client’s needs, tastes and budget, the existing context, both historic and physical, the talents of each member of the design team, the need to be as judicious as possible with our natural resources, as well as technical considerations such as building systems and code constraints. We believe that it is the architect’s task to dig deep and extract the essence of these influences and then synthesize these factors into a functionally and aesthetically coherent work of architecture. * * * nC2 architecture llc 1000 Dean Street #220 Brooklyn, NY 11238 718-622-2555 info@nc2architecture.com nc2architecture.com
