Justin Allen was born in 1979 in Upstate New York. He holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a Master of Architecture. In 2006, he worked for Steven Holl architects in New York City and in 2009 moved to Berlin, where he worked with von Gerkan, Marg und Partner. In 2014, Justin established ALLEN KAUFMANN STUDIO with Saskia Kaufmann in Berlin, which is a practice recognized for spatial and material sensitivity with a rigorous effort to embrace art and fabrication in the context of architecture and design.
Originally from Western New York, Justin Allen now lives in Berlin, Germany, where it is even darker in the winter and lighter in the summer. He has selected some of their Berlin projects, objects, and subjects. Some are dark and some are light. Some are in Berlin and some are in upstate New York. Projects include: 893 Ryotei (West Berlin Restaurant), House on a Lake (Canadaigua, NY), SumUp (Berlin HQ), Kanzlei (Berlin Law Firm), Cherry Ventures (former Daniel Liebeskind office space renovation in Berlin), Dado Shelf (patented joinery system), Dead Dwarfed Cherry Tree (upstate New York), and Finowstrasse (third floor apartment).
