Actual Size Projects was founded in 2012 by Nina Gotlieb in New York City. We are a multi-disciplinary design firm specializing in residential and hospitality architecture and interiors, as well as custom furniture, lighting and accessories. With an understanding of and respect for the process of making, we aspire to create innovative, strongly crafted work at every scale, from overall massing and circulation to joinery and materiality.
Prior to founding Actual Size Projects, Nina cut her teeth designing homes, hotels and restaurants across the country and around the world for such reknowned firms as AvroKO and Roman and Williams. Over a decade in practice has fostered a fascination with materials and process, as well as an obsession with comprehensive, fully integrative design and detail across a multitude of scales.
