History

edit

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]

The Rowan Astoria, designed by DXA Studio, is one of the largest residential projects in Astoria, Queens[20] and has also set records for condominium sales in the area.[5][4] The six-story building consists of 16-unit condos attached to a glass lobby with a green roof surrounded by a landscaped entrance plaza and private garden. The façade features intricate masonry.[21]

Other restoration and renovation projects by DXA Studio include the landmark William Ulmer Brewery restoration in Bushwick, New York - originally designed by renowned architect Theobald Engelhardt, DXA Studio transformed it into a new commercial and manufacturing center;[1][2][3] 827-831 Broadway, a 70,000 SF commercial building in lower Manhattan, once Willem de Kooning’s former studio space - DXA Studio restored the original 1890s cast-iron façade and design a new vertical enlargement that celebrates the cultural significance of the building;[22][23][24] 49 Greene Street in SoHo’s Cast-Iron District,[25][26] the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church conversion on West 81st Street,[27] and 102 Greene Street, a cast-iron building originally designed by Henry Fernbach in 1881.[citation needed]
