Who We Are:
S9 Architecture is a team of 50+ designers dedicated to giving form to our client’s pragmatic needs with a unique design approach rooted in “modern contextualism” and inspired by urban narratives. Rejecting pre-conceived ideas and stylistic preoccupations, each design solution is informed by programmatic, physical, environmental, economic, and contextual forces. We believe our projects are part of a larger whole, acting as glue that helps bind and enhance their context for human experiences.

 

Our work is primarily centered in the New York City area but we have multiple large projects across North America. We strive for high-minded design in everything we do and across all project typologies which currently include: residential, office, adaptive reuse, urban design, commercial, and mixed use.
