Seen Space Studios is an architecture and design firm serving commercial and residential clients across New York and Puerto Rico. Named for Seferina, Esperanza, Eugenia, and Nelsa—the matriarchs who guide our vision—we bring a decade of expertise across diverse project types including commercial developments, residential properties, transportation, healthcare, and urban design.

Our practice is built on the belief that exceptional design emerges from understanding context, culture, and community. Whether working with developers on multi-unit projects or individual homeowners realizing their vision, we approach each project with rigor, creativity, and attention to the unique story of each site and stakeholder.

We are committed to delivering projects that balance aesthetic excellence with practical performance. Our experience spans the full spectrum from feasibility studies and zoning analysis to detailed construction documentation and administration. We prioritize sustainable practices and ethically sourced materials, recognizing that responsible design creates value that extends beyond the project itself.

At Seen Space Studios, architecture is both craft and partnership. We create spaces that respond to their environment, serve their users, and contribute meaningfully to the built fabric of New York and Puerto Rico—spaces that are carefully considered, expertly executed, and built to last.
