UrbanLab

UrbanLab is an architecture and urban design firm founded by Martin Felsen and Sarah Dunn. UrbanLab blends design and research to produce progressive, site-specific buildings, spaces and places. Our projects set in motion new lifestyles, vibrant spatial experiences, and more sustainable environments. UrbanLab’s projects span scales, from large urban designs to small residential projects. Our primary interest is in forward-looking projects that speculate on a more resilient and resourceful tomorrow. UrbanLab brings invention and collaboration to each design project. We view challenges as opportunities to create memorable buildings and places that are both beautiful and surprising. We routinely assemble talented multidisciplinary teams with the highest levels of expertise and experience to realize architecture and urban design projects. Our design process is characterized by deep inquiry and collaborative exchange; design work is informed by intensive research and an experimental approach. We strive to invent innovative, environmentally responsible design solutions and create spaces that establish healthy connections between people and their environments. Built work to date includes mixed-use commercial buildings, housing, houses, restaurants, art galleries, large-scale resilient infrastructural projects, recreational landscapes, and cities.
