1100 Architect is the New York and Frankfurt-based architectural firm of principals David Piscuskas, FAIA, LEED AP and Juergen Riehm, FAIA, BDA.[1] 1100 provides architectural design, programming, space analysis, interior design, and master planning services to public and private clients. The firm’s domestic and international work spans a vast array of typologies, including educational and arts institutions, libraries, offices, residences, retail environments, and civic facilities.[2] Since 2014, the firm has a team of over 40 professionals including registered architects and LEED accredited professionals.[3]
1100 Architect was founded in 1983 as a SoHo-based start-up design studio of three architecture school graduates with a shared commitment towards design excellence.[4] With experience designing for a wide range of typologies and clients, 1100 Architect’s design philosophy is to create a pragmatically functional architecture that is thoughtfully adapted to site, setting, and environment.[5] Their mission is to design in a way that communicates meaning and produce “an apparently transparent style of architecture.”[6]
