INOA Architects

INOA Architects is an architecture firm working on high-rise residential and mixed-use projects in the New York and New Jersey markets. The firm designed Summit Tower in Newark, a 41-story, 514-unit skyscraper set to become the city’s tallest residential building. INOA’s work focuses on dense, transit-oriented urban sites where tall residential towers have to thread demanding zoning and approval processes. The studio takes projects from design through construction documentation, collaborating with developers and structural teams to bring large multifamily buildings from entitlement to delivery.

INOA, the International Office of Architects, was founded by Murat Mutlu in 2010 and works from a New York studio at 225 West 36th Street. The practice describes its work as spanning a range of scales, locations, and sectors, from private residential and hospitality commissions to large urban towers, with a stated interest in contemporary, functionalist space.

Its highest-profile commission is Summit Tower in Newark, the 41-story, 514-unit residential high-rise INOA designed for developer KS Group at 200-208 Market Street. At roughly 515 feet it is set to become the city’s tallest residential building, and its staggered blocks of curving glass and finished concrete gave the studio a signature entry on the Newark skyline. The firm takes projects from design through the construction documentation needed to move a tower of that size through approvals and into the ground.
