John W. Baumgarten Architect, PC

John W. Baumgarten Architect, P.C., established in 1997, is an award winning, full-service architectural firm serving proprietary and not-for-profit organizations in the healthcare, education, commercial, corporate and public sectors. We are specialists in the master planning of complex phased projects and provide an integrated approach to architecture, interiors and engineering. Our Firm is comprised of experienced and qualified architects and planners with over 20 years of combined design excellence.

An international boutique children's clothing chain commissioned us to initiate a regional roll-out of their brand. We chose to provide a clean and bright background aesthetic, which would be subordinate to the colorful and playful tones of the clothing and displays. This project involved a boutique jewelry store fit out in a newly constructed shopping mall. Our minimalist approach incorporated distinct functional zones wrapped in a warm, yet modern aesthetic. The clean lines and high-tech lighting are balanced by a "living room" with a backdrop fire place wall of cultured stone.

Our approach to Architecture and Design focuses on a close collaboration with the client supported by clear lines of communication from the first sketch to the ribbon cutting. A tight budget might be overcome by using simple materials innovatively. A short time frame might be overcome by modular design that can be prefabricated. A small footprint might be overcome through the use of modular furniture systems that allow a single space to serve multiple functions. Good Design Informs a Buildings Development, Shapes the Result and Inspires Those Who Use It.
