MODU designs for a new sustainability—strengthening the environment while fostering the experiences of being between indoors and outdoors, city and room. This creates a sense of belonging: as neighbors, coworkers, and friends.


Led by Rome Prize Fellows Phu Hoang and Rachely Rotem, MODU is an interdisciplinary design studio creating architecture, urban spaces, and interiors. We design cultural projects, public spaces, commercial buildings, and urban homes. We are LEED accredited and a New York State minority-owned business (MWBE).

Based in Brooklyn, MODU works at the intersection of design, ecology, and data. We direct a think tank linking a diverse group of experts in culture, technology, and industry. Our research and collaborations involve working together with scientists, sociologists, technologists, and artists.
