About S9 Architecture
S9 Architecture is a 55+ person design practice grounded in modern contextualism—believing that architecture must engage its cultural, social, and environmental surroundings with intelligence and care. Our work spans a broad range of project types throughout New York City and across North America, including multifamily residential (100% affordable, market-rate rental, and luxury condominium), mixed‑use developments, office and workplace design, adaptive reuse and repositioning, and cultural and institutional projects.

Lead coordination efforts for assigned scopes with increasing independence
