S D Abramowitz Architects

S.D. Abramowitz - Architects is a firm that has been providing architectural design and site planning services for over three decades. Led by Principal Scott D. Abramowitz, the firm has a wealth of experience in the industry and has worked on a wide range of projects for both public and private clients.

Philosophy

The firm's philosophy is rooted in the belief that architecture should be designed from the inside outward and that site and building design should seek an equilibrium with its contextual setting. Contrasting elements and features are strategically employed to emphasize focus or direction, resulting in executed projects that possess enduring attributes, provide long-term viability, and are capable of outlasting trending styles and ideologies. The firm is dedicated to creating designs that are financially prudent and serve as sound investments for stakeholders. At its core, architectural designing is an art form and a problem-solving endeavor, with technology serving as a tool for expression rather than a substitute for creativity.

Services

S.D. Abramowitz - Architects offers a comprehensive range of architectural design and site planning services for residential, commercial, governmental, and industrial clients. The firm's services include predesign/program development, zoning and code analysis, conceptual designing, construction documents, specifications, and contract administration.

The firm engages in site planning, new buildings, building additions, alterations, renovations, restorations, and repairs for a variety of clients, including homeowners, landlords, real estate management and development companies, religious institutions, and public housing authorities.

Approach

The firm's approach to architectural design and site planning is rooted in traditional methods and principles. At the early stages of design, particularly during program development and conceptualization, much of the drawing work product is developed manually, by hand, and only converted to CAD drawings after a firm understanding of the Project's program needs and spatial requirements have been developed to the client's satisfaction.

S.D. Abramowitz - Architects uses a combination of in-house staff and outsourced CAD drafting services to produce drawing documents. This approach allows the firm to utilize specialized and highly experienced staff for CAD production while keeping other aspects of the practice, such as specifications, in-house.
