About us

Our goal: share our talent, limitless ideas, and radical thinking with our visionary partners to change the world through design.

 

Studio NYL is committed to providing unparalleled whole-building, structural, and facade design services—and doing so in a unique way. We are guided by a set of core values that we strive to constantly embody.

 
 

“We have collaborated with SNYL for several years, it is hard to think of some of our projects without their input. Our work process together is quite intuitive and fluid, we typically bring some ideas to the table, begin debating possibilities while sketching, and then things get really interesting. You can trace the evolution of our collaboration from one project to the next, without repeating a solution twice.”

-Pablo Savid-Buteler | Principal at Sasaki

How we’re different

  • Design-forward

    We’re passionate about the design process and can make anything possible with the artful use of structure and creative approach to facade design.

  • Holistic and cross-disciplined

    We have the team and the tools to make anything possible. We house deep structural and facade capabilities within one cohesive team, fostering creativity and agility.

  • Performance-focused

    We believe high-design and high-performance go hand-in-hand. We optimize buildings so they perform better for occupants and the environment.

  • Limitless in ideas

    We’re the enabling problem-solver in the room. We push the limits of what’s possible with structures and materials and are constantly expanding on the processes, techniques, and technologies we employ.

  • Masters of the craft

    We seek the most elegant solution to every problem while remaining grounded in tried-and-true engineering principals. We stay at the vanguard of emerging techniques and technologies.

What we value

  • Collaboration

    We work hand-in-hand with design and construction teams during the earliest stages of a project to help raise ambitions from the outset. We engage early with all subcontractors to ensure input makes projects more constructable and cost-effective.

  • Ingenuity and exploration

    We are not constrained by what has been done in the past. We stay at the vanguard of emerging techniques, approaches, and technologies and share our intellectual capital openly with partners, each other, and the broader industry.

  • An unrivaled team

    We attract and retain people that share a passion for great design, and have the energy and commitment to make it happen. We value diverse backgrounds and broad, cross-disciplinary skills and commit fully to each other’s personal and professional growth.

  • Giving back

    We help create great buildings that make the world better. We’re committed to improving communities, protecting the environment, and giving back to our profession.
