Founder, Young Projects

Bryan Young

Young Projects is an architecture and design firm based in New York City. The scale of work stretches to include buildings, interiors, furniture, material prototypes and objects of curiosity. In most of the work there is an emphasis on making, materiality and spatial complexity. Building typology is often a focus of inquiry. Hybrids and ambiguity exist in favor of singularity.

Young Projects’ work has been widely published and has received numerous awards including an AIA NY Merit Award and HC&G IDA Award for the Bridgehampton Six Square House in 2022, Design Vanguard from Architectural Record in 2020, The Architectural League of New York’s Emerging Voices award in 2020, and a Progressive Architecture (P/A) Award from Architect Magazine in 2018 among many others. In 2021 Architectural Digest featured Young Projects “Casa Las Olas” in the Dominican Republic.

Bryan Young founded Young Projects in 2010. He received his Master of Architecture with distinction from Harvard University in 2003, where he was awarded the AIA Henry Adams Medal and the Thesis Prize. He received his Bachelor of Arts with highest honors from UC Berkeley in 1997. Since 2009 he has taught graduate-level architecture design studios and seminars at several universities including MIT, Columbia, Parsons, Cooper Union and Syracuse.
