About reBuild Workshop
reBuild Workshop is an integrated architecture studio in Gowanus, Brooklyn, founded by architect Themis Haralabides in 2015. We transform New York’s historic townhouses and brownstones into architecturally distinctive, high-performance homes for contemporary life.
Our architect-led team brings architecture, interiors, and construction together as one team, carrying each project from the first sketch through completion.
Since 2015, we’ve completed more than 50 townhouse projects across New York City, from Park Slope and Cobble Hill to the Upper West Side - over half of them in historic districts. Each one teaches us something about the next.
Building science is part of the design from the first sketch. We model each house before construction, and you decide how far to take performance. At Windsor House, rooftop solar generates 90.6% of the home’s annual electricity, bringing it close to net zero.
Studio Values
1
Architecture & Interiors
Every house starts with what is already there. We restore the details worth keeping and design contemporary architecture and interiors that belong with them.
2
Building Performance
Comfort, air quality, quiet, efficiency, and durability are designed in from the start, guided by building science and an energy model.
3
Integrated Delivery
One architect-led team carries each project from the first sketch to the final punch list, so the design reaches the finished house intact.
