Structured for Success Founded in New York City in 1994, Philip Koether Architects is a full service architectural design firm with demonstrated experience and breadth of skill in large scale project as well as smaller specialized and highly crafted commissions. We have designed private residences, retail and commercial spaces, hotels, libraries, schools and other cultural facilities. We quickly established a reputation for mastering complexity -- passionately synthesizing and balancing all the forces that define clearly conceived and executed projects -- many for distinguished and well-known clients. The added value of a thoughtful approach is amply demonstrated by the frequency with which past clients and new owners of previously designed spaces seek us out for our creativity. Analytical and Synthetic Design In a dynamic world in which technology brings us all closer, complexity is more than the resolution of a project's isolated issues of scale, location, or building type. Today, any project's architectural influence will be seen and must function globally. Philip Koether Architects helps clients anticipate future growth while respecting local environments, cultural difference, and past architectural values and traditions. We believe that simplicity and complexity are sometimes one and the same. Our analytic and synthetic design process has produced a distinguished body of executed work, commissioned by clients eager to have their expectations raised.
