Plan Plan is an architecture and design practice based in New York that continuously explores the potential of each project through a multitude of perspectives, cultures, and underlying stories.
The studio’s name, Plan Plan, plays on repetition—two words that can be read as nouns, verbs, or both—reflecting our view of architecture as both static and dynamic, conceptual and practical. We see design as a medium through which dialogue takes form, and just as often, a form through which dialogue is evoked. Through this exchange, architecture is our way to engage with communities and the built environment.
Before founding Plan Plan Architecture D.P.C. in 2024, we collaborated under the name CLAS, beginning around 2013. Our portfolio spans a range of disciplines, typologies, and scales, guided by a consistent interest in uncovering possibilities of each project.
