Founded in 2008 by David Belt, Macro Sea exists as a series of collaborations between experts in a wide variety of disciplines. We work with artists, architects, designers, scientists, lawyers, city governments, financiers, arts organizations, and others.

Macro Sea has executed projects in the built environment and conceptual realms, in New York City and around the world. Our work has been featured in MoMA and the Venice Biennale.

Our mission is to do projects that we find interesting, working with people we love:

North Philly Factory

2014
Philadelphia

We care about building spaces for shared experiences, work environments included. In northern Philadelphia, we partnered with a local community leader to turn three neglected industrial buildings into space the neighborhood could use. With about 27,000 sq. ft. of space, we made a gallery, offices, art studios, classrooms, workspaces, and a restaurant.
