DXA Studio is an American architecture firm based in New York City and known for its work on the conversion of the William Ulmer Brewery in Brooklyn[1][2][3] and the design of The Rowan Astoria, a residential development in Queens that set a record in 2021 for the most expensive condominium unit sold in the borough.[4][5]
Founded in 2011 by Jordan Rogove and Wayne Norbeck, DXA studio emphasizes authenticity, sustainability, and originality in architecture.[6]
In 2022, DXA Studio released its first monograph, DXA NYC: 10 Years of Building on History, published by ORO. The book explores DXA’s practice through 14 projects that consider New York City as a laboratory, embracing history as a constructive and critical influence. The book also includes writing by Gregory Rogove, Russell Shorto and Judith Zilczer.[7][8][9]
Maverick Chelsea, located in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, is the firm’s largest project to date.[10] Opened in 2022, it features two side-by-side towers with a faceted column and spandrel grid façade, with condo and rental units, including affordable housing under the NYC Inclusionary Housing and Fair Housing Acts.[11][12][13] In 2022, Justin Davidson of New York Magazine sought the firm's expertise for potential renovation ideas for the imperiled[14]West-Park Presbyterian Church at 165 86th Street. DXA Studio proposed three options that preserved as much of the core structure as possible and added new apartments with a façade respecting the neighborhood context.[15]
In 2023, the firm completed The Labs on 121, a life science building in Harlem, New York,[16][17] and 110 North 1st Street, a residential project in Williamsburg, Brooklyn rooted in health and wellness.[18][19]
