Space4Architecture (S4A) is a New York based architectural design studio working across different scales and typologies, from large scale hospitality and residential buildings to houses, interiors and custom furniture. At S4A we take pride on forging close collaborative relationships with our clients to produce spaces that address their specific needs and identities, inspiring and involving them t

hrough the design process, with the ultimate goal of improving the surroundings in which they live and work. The office’s reputation for simplicity and clarity of design strengthens with every project researched and completed, as we believe this to be the essential key to creating good and timeless environments for our clients. S4A’s nonhierarchical approach to design enables the office to create architecture free of stylistic limitations and firmly grounded in context. S4A was founded in 1999 by Michele Busiri-Vici. Together with current principal Clementina Ruggieri they share an academic background from both the US and Europe and more than 20 yrs professional experience in the United States. S4A was recently awarded 1st Prize for the competition “New Auditorium at the Riga Exhibition Center”, Latvia.

Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Working hands on.

For every project we build physical models. They are our most reliable tool for understanding proportion, mass and spatial relationships. A model quickly reveals what works and what doesn’t. These models evolve alongside the design, they go through different stages of details and craftsmanship. Unlike digital models, physical models are tangible and honest. They transform ideas into something real, keeping the design process active, curious and open. They surround our desks and quietly become part of our daily environment. We find ourselves peeking at them throughout the day. They take a life of their own, always revealing something new. And yes, they are incredibly fun to make!

The roof gently twists from east to west, allowing the house to begin as a two-story volume facing east before transforming into a more intimate single-story space in the kitchen and living area.
