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]
