TenBerke

TenBerke began with projects adapting industrial buildings for artists to live and work in. The New York-based architecture studio designs institutional, residential, and commercial projects, with an ongoing interest in repurposing existing buildings for renewed use. Its work considers how people use spaces and how buildings connect to their time and place. The studio describes its approach as collaborative, combining creativity and practical design while aiming to use resources thoughtfully. Projects include Smith College Kathleen McCartney Hall, Brown University Brook Street Residence Halls, and the Long Island Meadow House. TenBerke also shares writing and lectures and runs an Artist Program. Its practice brings together a creative community and works with clients to shape architecture around their needs.
