About ikon.5 architects

ikon.5 architects work is rooted in our belief that architecture is storytelling in built form and landscape. Architecture tells the story of the values of a particular people in its place and time. Like poetry and prose, architecture relies on metaphors to convey an expression that is lasting and timeless. Our solutions reflect the regional traditions in which we build and seek a timeless expression that eloquently reflects our client’s stories. Our work is a-stylistic, with no preordained aesthetic expression, and inspired by thoughtful, economic, and sustainable solutions that are meaningful to those who experience our buildings. Our work is united in its commitment to design excellence, social impact, and environmental responsiveness. We believe there is an opportunity for design excellence in all projects, irrespective of size and budget. Our 28-person practice based in New York City makes artistic works to explore ideas rooted in the ethos and heritage of the places we work.
