Marvel is a comprehensive collective that embraces the challenges of a design process driven by collaboration and curiosity, where every voice matters, producing meaningful places that reflect the responsibility to our communities and environment.
Marvel’s practice integrates context and nature into all our work. Our process is engaging and options based, revealing solutions through multiple iterations that creatively address client/user needs. With offices in New York, San Juan, Richmond, and Barcelona, Marvel brings a commitment to diversity through a process of authentic engagement with the many communities in which we work. From affordable housing and cultural institutions to city streets and public spaces, Marvel sees every project as an opportunity to create spaces of engagement.
We’ve also committed to a diversity of work by pursuing design projects in neighborhoods of every type, density, and makeup. Whether it be the center of Manhattan or the outer reaches of Queens, from small municipalities in Puerto Rico to small town Arkansas, we believe that design excellence is for everyone everywhere. All our projects, be it a modest comfort station in a park, or a new high-profile hotel on the Brooklyn waterfront, deserve to be careful, deliberate and durable contributions to the communities around us, created with the community, inclusive of everyone, welcoming everyone.
Marvel has successfully navigated the art and business of architecture and landscape architecture, and has earned an award-winning reputation for designing at the intersection of public and private space. Our community-based approach to architecture and place-making has been recognized by over 200 industry design awards, including the AIA’s highest honors.
