Kushner Studios Architecture & Design PC

What Kushner Studios Architecture & Design PC does

Kushner Studios Architecture & Design PC is a New York City-based professional architectural corporation founded in 1994 by Adam Kushner, operating from 55 Liberty Street in the historic Liberty Tower Building. The firm provides residential, commercial, and hospitality architectural design services including design, space planning, modeling, expediting, and furniture/industrial design, primarily to high-net-worth individuals, developers, and hospitality operators in the NYC metropolitan area, Hudson Valley, and selectively internationally (notably a 13-story mixed-use tower in Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland).

The firm's core differentiator is a vertically integrated design-build-development ecosystem that wraps three wholly-owned affiliated entities around the architectural practice: Madco3D LLC (founded 2012, large-scale architectural 3D printing using concrete and sand deposition methods with a seven-axis robotic-arm ABB extruder system, based in Rochester, New Hampshire), In-House Group Inc. (founded 2008 with Jason Prisco, a self-sufficient general contracting firm), and In House Development Group (formed 2021, the firm's own real estate development arm). This integration captures margin traditionally lost to fragmentation between design, fabrication, and construction. Madco3D holds "firsts" including the first permitted 3D printed structure in the United States (765 North Mountain Road) and the first US high-rise to incorporate 3D printed elements (213 Third Avenue).

Revenue derives from four professional-services streams: architectural design fees (the core practice), construction services through In-House Group, real estate development through In House Development Group, and 3D printing construction services through Madco3D. All services are quote-based with no publicly disclosed pricing. The firm pursues a sales-led enterprise field-sales go-to-market, sourcing projects through industry recognition, media exposure (WSJ, NYT, Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NY), word-of-mouth referrals, and Principal Adam Kushner's personal brand, supplemented by an active digital presence (Instagram, LinkedIn, Architizer, YouTube, blog) and recurring participation in Open House New York.
