A mid-sized, woman-led firm, Gelfand Partners Architects has a diverse perspective and a humane approach to architecture. A full-service outfit that includes architecture, landscape architecture, and interiors, our experienced and talented designers have spent decades bringing sustainable, affordable, and practical solutions to schools, housing, community facilities, and commercial space, both for new and existing buildings. Here's something to think about: The majority of buildings that are going to be occupied in the next 30 years already exist.
Sustainability is integral to our design process. In addition to innovative new approaches, truly successful sustainable design is also successful in more conventional ways - sustainable buildings require good coordination across the engineering disciplines, an economy of materials and means, appropriate orientation on the site, and a rigorous understanding of the client's requirements. These approaches are embedded in all our design work. Sustainable building materials such as linoleum, tile with recycled mirror glass, woven wall covering, recycled studs, low VOC plywood, and healthy carpets have made their way into our standard specifications.
