ABOUT US
Our firm, located on Audubon Street in
downtown New Haven, was founded in
1990 by Paul B. Bailey, AIA, a graduate
of the Yale School of Architecture, and has
since grown into a mid-sized firm of diverse
talents, including five registered architects
and project managers. In the early 90's, the firm
quickly developed a reputation for high quality design
work in the areas of master planning for municipal,
religious and other non-profit organizations, multi-family housing,
the renovation and restoration of historic structures and single family residences.
The prevailing aspiration of the firm's design work is a high regard for the special needs of the individual client and respect for the historic context and setting of each individual project, with the intent to create structures that look as though they truly belong in their surrounding neighborhood, inside or attached to their existing building, or within their existing space or room. These design efforts have been recognized nationally with several prestigious awards over the years and returning clients who with new projects for us to design and manage. In the more than 30 years since the founding of our firm, our reputation and depth of experience has steadily grown, resulting in our current position as one of the pre-eminent firms in New England specializing in high quality and cost-effective project modernization and new construction.
