Bryony Roberts Studio

Bryony Roberts Studio LLC is an award-winning art, design, and research practice based in Los Angeles. We work across scales to reimagine public spaces through social engagement and material experimentation. We collaborate with community partners, institutions, and local governments to create immersive environments that cultivate public play and collective gathering.

Our practice centers embodied experiences often marginalized in the built environment, celebrating the diverse physical, emotional, and cultural dimensions people bring to public places. We specialize in creating sensory-rich environments using innovative material techniques, such as textiles and fibers, to encourage tactile exploration and social connection.

With projects at Lincoln Center in New York, Federal Plaza in Chicago, City Hall in Columbus, the Government Quarter in Oslo, and Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome, we have extensive experience transforming public spaces worldwide. The studio has received the Architectural League Prize (2018), New Practices New York from AIA New York (2020), and support from the Graham Foundation, Getty Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and American Academy in Rome.
