Parkbench Architects Brings Purposeful Design to New York's Changing Built Landscape

New York City, New York Oct 5, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Parkbench Architects is contributing architectural design, interior planning, and project management services to projects shaping New York's evolving residential, commercial, hospitality, and community environments.

As New York's built landscape adapts to new patterns of living, working, retail, and wellness, Parkbench Architects is applying an integrated approach to architectural design that considers both immediate project requirements and long-term use. Based in New York, NY, the Certified Women-Owned firm provides architectural, interior, and project management services for clients throughout the region and in select markets across the United States.

Founded by Winter D'Angelillo and Russell Goss, Parkbench Architects began with an idea discussed on a park bench in Tribeca. The firm has since developed a portfolio spanning residential, hospitality, wellness, retail, and office environments. Its work is centered on the relationship between practical planning, material craftsmanship, technical coordination, and the experience of the people who use a space.

Parkbench Architects' New York practice also reflects the role of design in preserving and adapting existing spaces. Rather than treating architecture solely as the creation of new structures, the studio works with existing conditions, building regulations, neighborhood contexts, and operational needs. This approach is relevant to projects ranging from apartment renovations and workplace interiors to hospitality venues and retail locations.

This adaptive approach appears throughout the firm's New York work. In Manhattan, Parkbench Architects served as Architect of Record for Zeta Global's 30,000-square-foot headquarters on Park Avenue, and guided KOTN's Lower East Side storefront through Landmarks Preservation Commission approval. The studio also served as Architect of Record and project manager for Caudalíe's SoHo location, the French skincare brand's flagship in the Americas, and provided architectural design and Architect of Record services for Housing Works Cannabis, New York's first legal cannabis dispensary.

In Brooklyn, the firm partnered with Two Trees Development on Roberta's Domino Park, and worked alongside architect Frida Escobedo on the Aesop Park Slope store, adapting the neighborhood's existing brick facades to a new retail use. The portfolio also includes residential renovations in Brooklyn and Tribeca.

In addition to its New York architectural design work, Parkbench Architects serves clients in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, South Carolina, Texas and Florida. The firm collaborates with builders, consultants, artisans, and contractors to bring architectural concepts through completion, including custom elements that support a project's overall design intent.

The studio's work has received recognition from NYCxDesign and the NY Architectural Design Awards. More information about the firm's projects and services is available through Parkbench Architects.

Parkbench Architects continues to provide architectural design and project management support from New York, NY, with a focus on spaces intended to serve the people, organizations, and communities that inhabit them.
