Yesterday, Istanbul and London–based practice EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture announced the opening of a new studio location in New York City. “New York City is the center of business, commerce, and design, and we look forward to increasing the firm’s U.S. presence through this new studio,” said co-founder Emre Arolat in a press release. “We are thrilled to be in this exciting market and to continue to grow our work.”
Founded in 2004 by Emre Arolat and Gonca Pasolar in Istanbul, the firm was awarded the Aga Khan Award for Architecture in 2010 for its Ipekyol Textile Factory in Edirne, Turkey. It also received a high commendation for the 2015 Mies Van der Rohe Award for its Sancaklar Mosque in Istanbul.
