Andre Kikoski Architect

Andre Kikoski Architect is a Manhattan-based architecture and design firm that is committed to artistic innovation regardless of budget, genre or challenge. Our passion for material research, our detail-orientation, and our client-focused approach define the thoughtful investigation of design that is our hallmark. We are privileged to work with a distinguished group of clients in the arts, commerce, culture, design and hospitality.

We root each of our projects within a single concept. This approach allows us to create design with consistency, authenticity and integrity. We work in whatever style or language is best suited to that concept, and create buildings, spaces and objects that are innovative, unique and memorable.

Andre Kikoski Architect is the recipient of numerous international design awards and nominations. We are the first firm in history to win a perfect trifecta of awards -- the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Restaurant Design, the Gold Key Award for Hospitality Excellence, and the Interior Design Magazine Best of Year Award -- for a single project in a single year. In addition, we are the recipient of an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects, a Lumen Award for Lighting Excellence and Finalist honors for the Conde Nast Traveler Innovation and Design Awards, The Travel and Leisure Design Awards and the International Restaurant and Bar Awards, as well as two additional Lumen Awards for Lighting Excellence, a James Beard Foundation Nomination, the Edwin Guth Memorial Award from the International Association of Lighting Designers, and several "Best of" awards in New York, California and Colorado. The firm has been named as an "Up-and-comer to watch" by Departures Magazine, one of "Ten Young Firms to Keep an Eye On" by Oculus, the AIA New York Chapter magazine, and one of "The New Garde of Ten Designers to Watch" by New York Magazine.

Our work has been published in over 350 international publications.
