Lacuna Architecture Atelier is an award winning, multi-disciplinary fine art, architecture and design practice working internationally from offices in Manhattan and Sag Harbor. We specialize in exquisitely detailed, finely crafted works that range from heirloom furnishings and museum caliber art works to single family estates, mixed-use commercial facilities, community institutions and highrise developments. Our work can be experienced in galleries and site-specific installations, fragile coastal and rural landscapes, transitional suburban zones and dense urban centers.
Our work spans a broad range of conceptual frameworks, materiality, scales, media and building types, continually stimulating the integration of new ideas and the discovery of novel solutions. Across our portfolio we are recognized for our thoughtful, innovative practice, the opulent materiality and meditative soul of our works.
