Workshop/APD

At award-winning multidisciplinary architecture and design firm Workshop/APD, projects are defined by a sense of place and purpose and a desire to enhance user experience through exceptional design at all scales. From layered, textured penthouses and seaside retreats to luxury residential developments and groundbreaking hotels and restaurants, our aesthetic is timelessly modern but site-specific, unbound by project type or a singular style. Led by founding principals Andrew Kotchen and Matt Berman and principal architect Thomas Zoli, a collaborative team of 100 architects, interior designers, and product designers in NYC, Minneapolis, Nantucket, and Greenwich, CT leverages vast and highly varied experience to solve complex design challenges, resulting in evocative spaces that are exceptionally beautiful and accessible. Through a vertically integrated service offering spanning all aspects of architecture, interior design, and product design, Workshop/APD can own every step of the process from inception to completion. We value people first, centering learning, collaboration, creativity and excellence. The firm is known for embracing technology and celebrating craft, pursuing materials with a worked hand, and creating one-of-a-kind furnishings and finishes to bring texture, materiality and contrast to modern spaces. Committed to designing places that celebrate a project’s location and history, the team demonstrates a profound respect for the physical and contextual environment in which projects are realized, extending the experience beyond the structure to merge landscape, neighborhood, architecture, and furnishings in a beautiful, synergistic unit. The firm’s award-winning product collaborations - and its own Workshop Collection furnishings - are born from decades of experience designing custom products that marry composition, materiality, craftsmanship, and ease. Workshop/APD’s first monograph, Workshop/APD Homes, debuted in Fall 2022 with Rizzoli Books.
