Who we are

skapos is a New York–based, full-service architecture and interior design studio. The name derives from “scape,” rooted in Greek, reflecting our interest in environments as lived, experiential landscapes.

We create curated aesthetic moments through a collaborative design process. By exploring a range of possible solutions, we work closely with our clients to shape spaces that are both comfortable and deeply engaging—spaces that respond to how people move, feel, and interact.

Our work spans architecture, interiors, installations, and objects. With a conceptual approach centered on aesthetic experience, skapos reinterprets everyday spaces, materials, behaviors, and activities into new and imaginative outcomes. Each project is conceived as an invitation—to rediscover, to participate, and to form a meaningful connection with one’s surroundings.

Since our founding, we have completed projects across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Taipei. Our practice operates across a wide range of scales, from exhibition design to multi-family residential buildings, encompassing both architecture and interior design. We welcome opportunities to collaborate on commercial, residential, and culture-focused projects, and look forward to discussing how thoughtful design can support your goals.
