Verona Carpenter Architects is a full service architecture and interiors firm. Based in Manhattan, we work with clients around the country on education, workplace, art space, retail, restaurant, and multi-family residential projects. Our focus is on designing for greater inclusion by recognizing and embracing the neurodiverse world we live in, seeking to provide a range of sensory environments where more people can feel at home. We design environments for experience, providing a vision that advances our clients’ values and missions through their built environment. In every project, from an office lobby to a new school, we find opportunities within the constraints to create new possibilities. Through our leadership we maximize resources and impact. And with the community of users always in mind, we design with humanity and resilience. Irina Verona and Jennifer Carpenter each have more than twenty years of experience in New York and beyond, designing at every scale: objects, installations, buildings, and sites. Our firm approaches each project, big or small, with an open mind and a focus on strong communication. Verona Carpenter Architects is a NYC and NYS certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise WBE, an SCA prequalified and WBE vendor, and is LEED and WELL project capable. We are a signatory of Architects Declare and certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council WBENC.
