About Us

One firm from first drawing to final sign-off.

Since 2005, Skynel Design has helped New York City property owners design, renovate and legalize their buildings.

Our architects work on residential design, commercial renovations and large-scale projects. Much of our work starts with questions an owner can't easily answer alone: what does the code allow here, what does this violation mean, and what will it take to get approved? We answer those questions clearly, then do the work to get you there efficiently and at a fair cost.

    Why Skynel

    Compliance, treated as a chance to build better.

    We see compliance as an opportunity rather than an obstacle. When the people who design your project also handle its filings and its oversight, nothing gets lost between teams.
