Studio Litho is a Hoboken and New York City based architecture and interiors practice. We design residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces that balance proportion, material clarity, and intentional contrast.
Our work explores friction between new and old, rough and refined, formal and informal, as a way to create spaces with depth and character. Each project begins with a clear idea, developed through close collaboration with clients, consultants, and makers.
While every outcome is bespoke, all carry a consistent sensibility: an attention to scale, detail, and atmosphere that reflects both the studio’s values and the client's needs. Our aim is to produce enduring architecture that is layered, grounded, and quietly expressive.
