Architecture & Interior Design in New York

TALLER KEN designs architecture and interior design projects in New York City — hospitality, retail, and residential interiors shaped by a bold, curiosity-driven process.

Our New York work brings a playful, art-directed sensibility to the city’s fast-moving culture. From restaurant and retail interiors to residential renovations, we design spaces that spark discovery and stand apart from the ordinary.

Rooted in a practice that spans the Americas, our New York studio pairs international craft with a sharp read of the city — how people move, gather, and experience a space. This is architecture for wonder, translated to the urban grain of NYC.

Whether it’s a hospitality concept, a retail environment, or an interior design project in New York, TALLER KEN brings the same rigor and imagination to every commission.

Selected Projects

Alloy Block — TALLER KEN project — Tactic Urbanism

Our objective for the Alloy Block is to create meaningful connections with people by enlivening the site through simple yet impactful artistic interventions. By adding bold color to the fencing, street shed, and plaza—enhanced with lighting and seating—we aim to activate the space in a playful and vibrant way that reflects the energy of this increasingly central location.

The “Care for Hudson Square” initiative seeks to reactivate the public realm in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic with a site-specific installation that fosters community in the public realm. Our design for the initiative enlivens the site at Little 6th Ave, between Spring and Broom Street, through striking but simple artistic intentions. Bright color traces the public routes along asphalt and sidewalks, supplemented with temporary shade tents, lighting, and seating to support the movement and activities of pedestrians and residents. This method of playful and bold site activation communicates the vibrancy and resilience of this location, reflecting the wealth of cultural and educational institutions in the area. The project aims to facilitate responsible social interactions, both planned and spontaneous, to help build engagement for other sites in the Hudson Square community both in person and virtually.
