What METHOD Architects does

METHOD Architects, PLLC is a privately held, multidisciplinary design studio headquartered at 102 W 38th Street, New York, NY. Founded in 2009 by licensed, LEED-Accredited architects Johan Reyes and Carlos Macias, the firm delivers integrated architecture and interior design services across four service lines—commercial, retail, residential, and interior architecture—with workplace and hospitality as the primary commercial use cases. Project sizes range from approximately 900 SQFT (lobby renovations, glass staircases) to 50,000 SQFT (flagship workplace buildouts), and the firm operates as both prime designer and Architect of Record on collaborations with firms such as Rockwell Group.

The studio is supported by a team of roughly 13 employees, including senior architects, project managers, designers, and operations staff, executing project-based professional services engagements using industry-standard software (AutoCAD, Revit, Adobe Creative Suite, InDesign). Revenue is generated per-project with no disclosed pricing model, and the firm holds no external funding, parent company, or institutional investors; ownership remains with the founding partners. Verified customer logos span financial services (Castle Oak Securities), translation services (Transperfect), non-profits (Girls Who Code, Ms. Foundation), hospitality (R17 at South Street Seaport, Marina Restaurant), and a flagship 50,000 SQFT workplace engagement.

The firm is certified as a Minority Business Enterprise by NYC, New York State, and the Port Authority of NY & NJ, which provides preferred access to public-sector and supplier-diversity RFPs. Geographic reach extends beyond the New York metro into Illinois, California, and Ecuador, and a niche cannabis dispensary design vertical has been built across multiple jurisdictions. Distribution is entirely direct enterprise engagement via referrals and RFP processes, supplemented by organic Instagram-led brand presence.
