Our Studio
Cycle Projects, a New York City-based design, architectural, and interiors firm, specializes in hospitality, high-end residential, and adaptive reuse. Our portfolio encompasses new constructions, renovations, corporate food ventures, family-owned restaurants, and distinctive residential spaces. Notably, we engage in socially driven art projects on a global scale, fostering a sense of community and food justice.
What sets Cycle Projects apart is our extensive experience as both owners and operators in the food and beverage sector. We initiated our journey with grassroots projects in Brooklyn during the early nineties, positioning us on the cusp of the culinary revolution sweeping the nation today.
Leveraging this background, we offer large restaurant groups and renowned chefs meticulously designed spaces for patrons to savor their creations, all while providing a comprehensive plan for seamless back-of-house and service-based success.
Our "Cycle" process is the linchpin of our operations, guiding each project, regardless of size, through a range of design and logistical exercises. Our aim is to achieve functional, aesthetically pleasing, cost-effective, and on-time outcomes. This method involves evaluating each project from multiple angles, actively listening to our clients, and crafting a focused and actionable plan. We understand the profound impact of architecture on our daily lives, and our mission is to translate our clients' ideas into innovative architectural solutions.
