Lichten Architects

OUR GOAL IS SIMPLE: TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL, COMFORTABLE, WELL-CRAFTED DESIGNS THAT IMPROVE WITH TIME.

Formed in 1991, Lichten Architects is an award-winning architecture firm based in New York with a portfolio comprised of private club, high-end residential, and institutional projects . Our work has been featured in the New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Traditional Home, BoardRoom, and numerous books and blogs .

The success of Lichten Architects’ projects is best attributed to the strength of the firm’s design vision, a collaborative approach, and responsiveness to both client and place . We are to our projects . We understand that no two projects are alike in their requirements and execution .

We are accustomed to complex programming and client priorities. Beyond design, we manage the multifaceted process of building a project: from analyzing codes to navigating member committees and public agencies, from coordinating known for an integrated, seamless, and coordinated approach

with capital campaign committees to delivering welldocumented plans and on to construction administration — a continuum from the first conversation to move-in day.
