History<\/strong> of ABA Studio<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Founded in New York City<\/strong>, ABA Studio<\/strong> has built a reputation for creating vital, distinctive spaces<\/strong> that balance design innovation<\/strong> with practical execution<\/strong>. Over the years, the firm has completed an impressive range of institutional, commercial, and residential projects<\/strong>, including the LREI High School<\/strong> in Greenwich Village, Pandora Media\u2019s headquarters<\/strong> in Midtown Manhattan, and several thoughtfully designed private residences<\/strong> upstate.<\/p>\n

From the start, ABA Studio\u2019s work has reflected a deep respect for context and craft<\/strong>. Whether engaged in adaptive reuse of historic structures<\/strong> or new construction<\/strong>, the studio approaches every project with a commitment to clarity<\/strong>, purpose<\/strong>, and human experience<\/strong>. Their ability to balance tight budgets<\/strong>, complex schedules<\/strong>, and high design standards<\/strong> has positioned them as a trusted name in New York\u2019s architectural community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Company Culture at ABA Studio<\/strong><\/h4>\n

At the core of ABA Studio\u2019s practice is the belief that architecture shapes the way we live\u2014and we, in turn, shape architecture<\/strong>. This philosophy drives a design process that is clear<\/strong>, collaborative<\/strong>, and deeply responsive<\/strong> to both people and place. The firm\u2019s culture thrives on teamwork<\/strong>, with architects, consultants, and clients working side by side from concept to completion.<\/p>\n

ABA Studio values open communication<\/strong>, mutual respect<\/strong>, and shared creativity<\/strong>, fostering an environment where ideas evolve naturally and meaningfully. Every project is tailored through careful consideration of materials<\/strong>, color<\/strong>, light<\/strong>, and context<\/strong>, ensuring that the final design feels authentic to its environment and to those who inhabit it.<\/p>\n

\n
We work closely with our consultants and the clients from the very beginning to form a Team. The approach is one of Partnership and the flow of information and ideas in both directions is the key to a successful project.<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Grounded in technical expertise<\/strong> and a hands-on approach, the firm takes pride in seeing their designs through all stages of realization\u2014navigating zoning laws<\/strong>, construction challenges<\/strong>, and regulatory processes<\/strong> with precision. For ABA Studio, good architecture isn\u2019t just built\u2014it\u2019s crafted through connection, clarity, and collaboration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ABA Studio’s\u00a0Selected Projects<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Art Dealer’s Residence – Millbrook, NY<\/h4>\n

Completed in 2000, this project involved the renovation of an 18th-century farmhouse and estate<\/strong>, last altered in the 1930s. By introducing skylights, dormers, and double-height spaces<\/strong>, the once-dark farmhouse was transformed into a bright, open, and naturally lit interior<\/strong>. Every intervention respected the original design and material palette<\/strong>, creating an elegant backdrop<\/strong> that beautifully showcases the family\u2019s extensive art collection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pandora Media – New York, NY<\/h4>\n

For Pandora Internet Radio\u2019s Midtown Manhattan expansion, two floors of a 1920s office building<\/strong> were fully renovated and connected. The design introduced an open office layout<\/strong> with bright, double-height spaces<\/strong> and conference room \u201ccrystals\u201d<\/strong> to foster visual and spatial continuity. Multiple social areas<\/strong> were incorporated to support group gatherings and informal meetings<\/strong>, creating a dynamic and collaborative work environment.<\/p>\n

Hither Lane House & Gardens – East Hampton, NY<\/h4>\n

This circa-1978 Colonial-style home<\/strong> was charming but not fully adapted to modern living. The original structure\u2014a two-story main house<\/strong> with a single-story kitchen extension<\/strong>\u2014felt conventional, with a clear separation between house and yard<\/strong>. ABA Studio added a new guest room and study<\/strong> and reimagined the landscaping<\/strong>, creating generous interior circulation<\/strong> and a more fluid connection between indoors and outdoors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
