nARCHITECTS, PLLC (USA/CANADA) was founded in New York City by partners Eric Bunge and Mimi Hoang in 1999. We design and oversee the construction of buildings, installations, exhibitions, interiors, and public spaces. Our work focuses on responsive and flexible design concepts and innovative building techniques that redefine conventional notions of program, type and context. nARCHITECTS' goal is to achieve maximum effect with an economy of conceptual and material means, and a positive impact on the environment.

nARCHITECTS’ work has been recognized nationally and internationally in publications and exhibitions. Recent awards include The Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices (2006), AIA Design Honor Awards (2005 and 2007), a NYSCA grant (2007), the Canadian Professional Rome Prize (2005), Architectural Record's Design Vanguard (2004), the MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program (2004), and a New York Foundation for the Arts grant (2002), and The Architectural League of New York’s Young Architects Forum (2001).

BUILDINGS nARCHITECTS provides comprehensive services for building exteriors and interiors, from zoning studies through design, construction documents, and contract administration during construction. Our approach, characterized by research, prototyping, and digital technologies, allows us to assist clients in a smooth transition from concept to implementation.

URBAN DESIGN nARCHITECTS designs public urban spaces that combine inventive programming, material investigation, landscaping and lighting. We work together with landscape architects and lighting designers to create legible and ecological interventions that are specific to cultural, physical and climatic contexts.

INTERIORS nARCHITECTS designs interiors with the unique identities and needs of their users in mind. We aim to achieve more with less, and creatively transform constraints into opportunities. Innovative uses of materials, light and technology give form to well designed spaces that balance design vision with comfort.

EPHEMERAL STRUCTURES nARCHITECTS designs and builds environments, exhibitions and installations that provoke interaction and interference. Our architecture, informed by low and high technologies, explores ways in which both architect and user actively engage in and configure social relationships. We also work in varying capacities with art institutions, artists, programmers, and media producers.
