Execution-driven architecture.
For more than 41 years, Steven S. Cohen Architect, PC has designed multifamily, mixed-use, senior, commercial, and institutional buildings for developers, owners, and institutions. We are results-oriented, relationship-driven, and produce drawing sets that get projects priced, approved, and built.
Four decades of buildings, coast to coast.
Every pin marks a community where our architecture has been designed: from senior housing in New Jersey and Brooklyn to national mixed-use programs in Kansas and Delaware; and research and lab facilities from Idaho to Pennsylvania.
* Active project records date back to 1992. The firm has been in operation since 1985.

Designed for the pro forma. Detailed for the field.
Clients hire us because our drawings hold up and we answer the phone during construction. We design to your budget, space programming and schedule, then deliver construction documents that bid cleanly and build without surprises.
As part of the Konstruct platform, our architects work alongside in-house structural, MEP, and civil engineers, so the whole design team answers to one office.
