Pulltab - Innovative Architectural Firm in NYC

Pulltab is an esteemed architectural firm that has been making waves in the industry since its inception in 2001. Located in the heart of Manhattan's Flatiron District, our firm is dedicated to creating residential designs that stand out for their warmth, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.

Specializing in a wide range of residential projects, including apartment renovations, townhomes, and penthouse additions, Pulltab is committed to transforming spaces into exquisite living environments. Our expertise extends to designing roof gardens and custom furniture, ensuring that every aspect of your home reflects your unique style and needs.

At Pulltab, we believe that a successful design goes beyond mere aesthetics. Our approach to residential design focuses on creating warm environments by utilizing natural materials that enhance the overall ambiance of a space. As strident modernists, our architects Melissa Baker and Jon Handley embrace historical precedents while continuously challenging conventional perspectives to deliver innovative solutions.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of Pulltab's work is our ability to create open, light-filled spaces infused with modern and inventive detailing. Our designs often feature bespoke, project-specific elements that are custom-engineered and fabricated to meet the unique demands of each project. We take pride in our ingenious and practical solutions, such as concealed storage systems, fold-down tables, built-in and freestanding furniture, and custom hardware that elevate the functionality and beauty of your home.

Influenced by a rich exchange of ideas with our clients and a network of top-level contractors, our design philosophy is rooted in collaboration and creativity. We draw inspiration from the midcentury modern design movement, paying homage to the remarkable architects and designers of that era, including Carlo Scarpa, Louis Kahn, and Marcel Breuer. Furthermore, we are greatly inspired by modern architect-poet Juhani Pallasmaa, as well as Leonard Koren, whose writings on Wabi-Sabi resonate deeply with our design ethos.

At Pulltab, we understand that architecture is not just about building structures; it's about crafting experiences that resonate with the inhabitants. Our mission is to create spaces that not only fulfill functional needs but also evoke sensory and emotive qualities, ultimately enhancing your quality of life. Let us embark on this journey together to bring your vision to life with tailored architectural solutions that reflect your lifestyle and aspirations.
