The Team
Taller Frida Escobedo
Frida established her eponymous studio in Mexico City in 2006. Her practice defies the traditional boundaries of the discipline, operating at a wide array of scales and mediums, from buildings and experimental preservation projects to temporary installations and public sculpture, limited edition objects, publications, and exhibition design. Most recently, she was appointed as the architect to design the new Modern & Contemporary Wing for The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, becoming the youngest and first woman to design a building for the institution.

From their office, more than 15 professionals create one-of-a-kind buildings and interiors that are comprehensive in vision and exacting in detail. In small- and large-scale work alike, Workstead employs a disciplined design process that melds precedent, modern form, and honest construction. Representing both familiarity and reinvention, our work resonates with individual clients and commercial audiences over years of use. Workstead's efforts reflect its values of belonging, beauty, and necessity.
