Almost Studio is a Brooklyn-based design practice established in 2018. Their approach considers a project as one that continually reveals unknown cultural, social, and spatial potential as time passes -- in other words -- always almost. Therefore, the process of design and the close-out of construction is simply the starting point of their projects within a community. Experimenting with form, material, program, siting, landscape and time, Almost Studio's projects join, grow, and change with the people and places around them. This has led to recognition in The New York Times, Vogue, and Architectural Record, among other publications, for a wide variety of projects including theaters, residences, flagship stores, exhibitions, fashion runways, castles, furniture, and art festivals. Such projects are made possible through inspiring collaborations with public organizations including Times Square Arts, The Shed, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Yale University, Sandy Liang, Chloé, Dallas Contemporary, and New York Fashion Week as well as with private clients for residences in New York, California, Maine, Ohio, & Villecien, France.
