Architect

J. Tyler Marshall, AIA

Halfway through a Bachelor of Science in architectural engineering at the University of Kansas, Tyler Marshall discovered a passion for architectural design as well. It was an ah-ha moment that led him to pursue a second BS in architecture, completing the two demanding five-year programs concurrently. Drawn to Workshop/APD in its earliest days by the opportunity to work on a project from its inception through to completion, he is known for a unique ability to draw upon his background in architecture and engineering to skillfully manage every aspect of a ground-up project.

Tyler’s interest in – and technical mastery of – architectural design and visualization tools have been a driving force in pinnacle Workshop/APD residential projects, including 111 Leroy Street, instantly-recognizable NYC apartments in NYC’s Printing House and on Central Park West, as well as an iconic renovation of a 1800s Aspen, CO miner’s cabin. He also contributed to Workshop/APD’s winning entry in Brad Pitt’s 2006 Global Green sustainable design competition. Today, Tyler’s primary focus is on ground-up construction, from schematic design to design development and construction administration. In each of his projects, he relishes the opportunity to evolve traditional exterior details in compelling, modern ways. Groundbreaking residential projects include the reinvention of a 1920s Tudor residence on the Greenwich, CT waterfront, where he led the deconstruction and reimagination of the classic home’s aesthetics, functionality and efficiency in a modern way. Tyler is certified in passive design and enjoys connecting with nature. A resident of New York’s Hudson Valley, he spends his free time outdoors, kayaking, hiking and climbing in the surrounding area.
