Commercial Architecture Rooted in Culture, Craft, and Human Experience
Our Approach
We’re grounded in
Curiosity about the environments around us
Respect for local context and cultural expression
Craftsmanship that translates vision into built form
This human-centered process shapes every commercial project we take on.
At ARCNOMA, our work begins long before drawings are created. We invest deeply in conversations with business owners, developers, and partners. Understanding not only the functional needs of a space, but the narrative behind it.

Our Process
Design that Reflects Identity
Every business has a story. Our role is to turn that story into an environment customers immediately connect with.
A Boutique Studio with Global Ambition
We give clients direct access to the design team while bringing the ambition of an international practice.
Navigating NYC Complexity
From DOB filings to code review to contractor coordination, we help clients move through the city’s design and regulatory process with clarity and confidence.
Social Spaces
ARCNOMA designs commercial spaces that elevate everyday activity. From retail buildouts to public-facing environments, we approach each project as a balance of design excellence, brand identity, and the lived experience of the people who use the space.
