Business Description
Curtis + Ginsberg Architects LLP (C+GA) is an award-winning architecture and planning firm whose work focuses on serving the needs of our clients, the community, and the environment. The firm was founded in 1990 by Roberta Darby Curtis, AIA, and Mark Ginsberg, FAIA, LEED AP, on the belief that everyone deserves access to quality design and that design can effect positive change for individuals and communities. C+GA is a certified women-owned business (WBE).
Whether the project is a new building, a rehabilitation, or a planning study, C+GA helps each client realize a design that enables them to serve their mission. We are committed to ensuring that each project serves its immediate users and its surrounding community.
C+GA has completed a wide range of residential, commercial, academic, and cultural projects for public, private, and not-for-profit organizations. The firm is a recognized expert in the design of sustainable mixed-use, multifamily and supportive housing and institutional projects. Our expertise in new construction and the rehabilitation of existing buildings has resulted in the completion of over 25,500 individual units in New York, with approximately 1,800 new and the transformation of 3,000 existing units currently in various stages of design. Central to this work is a belief that people deserve to live, work, and play in well-designed, dignified, and comfortable spaces.
Our thoughtful design process places special emphasis on analyzing the client’s goals site, program, and budget, to create a design solution that serves the needs of the client and the project’s users, while also considering the broader community and environmental impact. Each project begins with a conversation that continues throughout the design process. We listen carefully to the client and stakeholders to understand their priorities and concerns to create the best possible project. We avidly pursue design excellence, and our work reflects our commitment to quality.
Central to all our work is a commitment to developing social and environmental resilience in the communities in which we work. C+GA has been pivotal in designing for sustainability and resiliency since its founding, not just in green design but also developing enduring schemes that strengthen communities and neighborhoods. Our research and technical expertise in this area is carried through to all our work, whether certified or not. We have completed numerous LEED projects, over 60 buildings in the Enterprise Green Communities program, and are a leader in Passive House (PHIUS and iPHA) certified design, with over 25 Passive House projects in New York City. Our leadership in sustainable design is recognized locally and nationally, ranking in the Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) 2024 Top 100 Green Design Firms, and we were selected for the 2021 Ivory Prize Innovation in Sustainable Housing. In addition, we have taken a lead role in the architecture community’s resiliency efforts following Hurricane Sandy, working with municipalities, public agencies, developers, and civic groups to build more resilient communities.
The C+GA team is structured to ensure that each client receives the most professional and personalized service possible. Our collaborative and communication-forward ethos strives to advance design excellence while advancing social and environmental resilience.
