Gans studio's executed projects include industrial and graphic design, and architecture. Their continuing work on alternative forms of housing includes disaster relief housing for Kosovo, which won an international competition and a subsequent grant for development, a transitional housing system for Common Ground Community and a community based planning and design project for New Orleans East funded by HUD that will culminate in the construction of a model block. Their prototype for a Roll Out House was shown in the United States Pavilion of the Venice Biennial 2008.
Current projects are a master plan for The Graham School in Hastings-on-Hudson New York that includes new dormitories and campus dining facilities and a rose window for The Museum at Eldridge Street that is a collaboration with artist Kiki Smith.
They have completed a series of single family residences in Maine, Connecticut and New York State, and a variety of commercial projects, restaurants and apartments in New York. Commissioned by the School Construction Authority of New York, their patented workbox "next generation" school desk is included in the permanent collection of the New York Historical Society. Their design work has been widely published and exhibited at IFA Paris, RIBA London, The Rosenbach Museum Philadelphia, The Van Alen Institute, The Architectural League of New York and the Venice Biennial.
