HWKN (Hollwich Kushner LLC.) is an architecture firm based in New York City. The office was founded in 2007 by its two current principals, Matthias Hollwich and Marc Kushner. Project types and scales range from retail and cultural pop-ups to high-rise residential development. The conceptualization and application of architecture as a branding and media driven service is an important dogma of the firm.

Endeavoring to make the world of architecture transparent and accessible through an interactive online platform, the team launched Architizer in 2009. It is now the largest online database for viewing, sharing, and discussing architecture publically and professionally.

Hollwich in 2010 in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania's School of Design, led a conference discussing the state of America's culture in regards to aging. The event encouraged an assessment of how individuals willingly age out of healthy, active, and community based lifestyles and how precautionary design planning can resolve this. (speakers?)

In 2012 HWKN was selected as the winner of MoMA PS1's Young Architects Program annual summer installation competition. the Young Architects Program.
