TRA studio Architecture located in New York (NY, New York County) specializing in architecture.
TRA Studio finds the balance between design and technological and practical constraints, finding opportunities for programmatic but innovative interventions, above-below-in between and within the urban built environment, often working on the edge between the old and new. TRA Studio's experimental attitude engages both the operational and conceptual space, developing environments that are unforgettable, yet performative, remaining always, site-specific and responsive to the current conditions. Although their work is primarily located in the Downtown districts of New York City, it spans a wide range of projects, including new construction, additions, adaptive re-use, restorations of historic structures and interiors. Since 1995, the firm has worked with leading cultural Institutions, art foundations, global corporations, international fashion labels, nonprofit organizations as well as developers and private clients. TRA strives to achieve built design that is coherent, concise and meaningful, obtaining the maximum result with minimum consumption. They use computation not to enhance image, but materiality, their studio is not a shop, rather, they know how to build; they see the execution as part of the design, in the pursuit of technical achievement as well as enduring beauty, as proven in the longevity and resale value of their spaces. TRA embraces the responsibility that comes with working in the Historic Districts, where the interventions will likely last and have a reaching effect on the city and its users; from interiors to new buildings the sum of the singular interventions, rise at the urban scale as part of the larger fabric, becoming neighborhood enhancing. TRA: Latin for ahead of, or in the midst of things; simultaneously the edge and the link.
