Andrea Steele Architecture

Groundbreaking in the Hudson Valley Something special is taking shape above the Hudson. Watching the foundations go in for this new home in Rhinebeck is a reminder that every great design starts with respect for the land. We’re working closely with the natural topography and existing rock outcroppings to nestle the structure into the landscape and frame the river views. In the end, we seek to balance modern living with the raw beauty of the woods and water. From site prep to the final finishes, the journey is just as rewarding as the destination. Stay tuned as we bring this vision to life. #rhinebeck #hudsonvalleyrealestate #modernarchitecture #constructionstart #customhome

Wrote about @andreasteelearchitecture ’s new project L10 Arts and Cultural Center in Brooklyn, which “removes barriers and open doors” indeed! 📸 #1 @_as__ap_ #2 @alan_karchmer Find out more, link in bio. Can’t wait to see it in print. @theplanmag ✨✨✨

Still energzied by our conversation with the AIANY WIA Committee at the Center for Architecture last Friday. Grateful to @wia.nyc for bringing together such passionate students and young professionals. Sharing our project L10 Arts and Cultural Center was a reminder of the power of design to shape community, celebrate culture, and create change. #leadershipbreakfast #aianywia #designforchange #andreasteelearchitecture #aiany #womeninarchitecture

An auditorium supported by the stories of its community. We designed this center for Make the Road New York @maketheroadny as a place where community can rise, connect, and be heard. On any given day: a gathering, a protest, a dinner, a conversation. Every day: a home for those creating positive change.

How can we build social, cultural, financial, and environmental resiliency within our communities? ⁠ Ag Hub is a mixed-use development centered around a vertical farm, designed to nourish both people and place. It integrates fresh food access, workforce training, education, retail, and public green space — all rooted in sustainable practices like renewable energy, low water usage, reclamation, and waste management. ⁠ It’s more than a building. It’s an ecosystem. #agriculturalhub #verticalfarming #urbanagriculture #mixedusedevelopment #communitydrivendesign #sustainablearchitecture #climateresilientdesign #foodjustice #designforgood #greeninfrastructure #equitabledevelopment #publicspacematters #resilientcommunities #architectureforchange #futureofcities #architecturaldesign #socialarchitecture #urbandesign #architecturecommunity #netzerodesign #greenbuilding #regenerativedesign #andreasteelearchitecture #socialimpactdesign

A home of dual identities—private retreat and collective creative ground. At its core, a living archive: collections become structure, light shapes space. Materials chosen to age with grace, holding time as texture. #architecture #residentialarchitecture #livingarchive #architectureasretreat #privateresidencedesign #materialpoetry #lightandform #andreasteelearchitecture #asadesign

Where stone anchors stillness and the river reflects light – a residence is shaped by the site. Our design elevates the living spaces for a seamless panorama with nature, while the meditative spa and pool are nestled in the land below. #architecture #residentialarchitecture #designincontext #architectureandlandscape #architectureasretreat #privateresidencedesign #builtinnature #slowliving #andreasteelearchitecture #ASAdesign #hudsonvalley #hudsonriver

Last week’s progress on site: Signage being installed at our DSNY Salt Shed on Staten Island. Looking forward to the moment when lights come on and it becomes a quiet landmark — a functional space doing its part, now with a small sense of place and presence. #DSNY #PublicArchitecture #SaltShed #OnSite #ArchitectureInProgress #andreasteelearchitecture #architecture #signage

We are excited to announce that our L10 Arts and Cultural Center has won a 2025 NYCxDESIGN Award in the Civic/Institutional category! Initiated by two NYC agencies, the L10 Arts and Cultural Center is a new addition to Brooklyn’s cultural landscape that unites four key arts organizations - @mocada_museum @bam_brooklyn @bklynlibrary @651arts - under one roof to create an inclusive, collaborative space for artists and patrons. This 65,000 sf center offers gallery and performance spaces, cinemas, rehearsal studios, archives, and a library dedicated to arts and culture. Thank you to @interiordesignmag and @thecindygram for highlighting the creativity and talent of NYC’s design community. And a huge thank you to our clients, colleagues, and the many collaborators who worked with us to make this vision a reality. Your support, trust and alignment are greatly appreciated. @nyculture @nycedc @skanskausa @situ_fabrication @ettingerengineering @fisherdachs @hlblighting @weareavp @twotwelvenyc @ceramiassoc @wjexpediting Structure engineer: RGCE; AV Consultant: Boyce Nemec Designs; Acoustics: Lally Acoustical Consulting.
