Some Place Studio was founded in 2016 with a specific interest in public projects. We seek to construct spaces that consider architectural impacts on culture, politics, psychology and the environment.
Collaborative and global, our name reflects the studio’s inception and approach to work. We operate from wherever we find ourselves all the while maintaining strong connections to the various places our designs live. In Vienna, New York and with a primary base in Berlin, the practice functions as a growing platform for designers, strategists and communicators collaborating from around the globe.
