0UR STORY
We’re architects that specialize in calmly navigating busy clients through the residential and commercial design-construction process in Westchester County and Metro New York. Our goal is to improve the value, utility and appearance of each property or building we design.
Entering our 25th year with a wide-ranging portfolio of diverse projects and over 450 projects completed to date, we strive to get better, learn more and satisfy the needs of our growing list of happy clients. We nurture our relationships with these clients , consultants, builders and municipalities to make the design-construction process as smooth as possible.
I am a member of the AIA (American Institute of Architects), Rye NY Planning Commission, BOCA (Building Officials and Code Administrators), and USBGC (United States Green Building Council). I was educated at Brandeis University, BFA, City College of NY, BArch and Traveling Nanjing Fellowship, I use my background of fine arts, product design, construction and architectural knowledge both locally and abroad to the satisfaction of hundreds of customers.
Growing up in a design household in New York City, I helped my father, a furniture designer with building and drafting prototypes as well as designing patterns with my mother, a textile designer. For the past 32 years, we have lived in Rye, NY. Our son , a Santa Clara University grad is working in San Francisco in the financial world. Our daughter, A Cal Berkeley grad, continues her climate writing and editing excellence in London. My wife is a force of nature in the non-profit arena: as the Deputy Director of New York Common Pantry, helping serve over 11,000,000 meals per year to NYC’s hungry and less fortunate.
