Glickman Schlesinger Architects PLLC

Glickman Schlesinger Architects is an Architecture and Interior Design company based in New York City, with additional project offices in Ithaca, NY, and Sonoma, CA. We are a New York City, New York State, and PANYNJ Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). At our core, GSA’s focus is the design of buildings and spaces that are thoughtful, responsive to the needs of our clients and livable. We consider space planning, programming, material selection, color palette, landscape and the smallest architectural details to be equally important factors in how a building is experienced. To that end we take great care to focus on all scales and facets of a project. We also believe that every built project must be made to achieve a higher level of performance in energy efficiency, daylighting, ventilation, and end-user well-being. During the average lifespan of 79 years for a person, 71 of those years will be spent indoors. Knowing that, it’s crucial that our indoor environments are healthy. 1 out of 100 people will get sick or die from exposure to things we know can exist in indoor air. Just as we can decide what we eat, we can control the materials that surround us. To address these issues, we are certified passive house design consultants and use passive house principles in our projects to achieve well-insulated and healthy ventilated spaces. And, we are committed to using non-toxic building materials in our projects. Such carefully considered interior environments not only save the building owner money over the course of occupying the space, but they are noticeably comfortable to occupy.
