Deborah Berke & Partners Architects

Deborah Berke & Partners Architects is a New York City-based architecture and interior design firm founded by Deborah Berke (hyperlink to DB Wikipedia page) and led by Deborah Berke, her two partners and two principals. Established in 1982, the firm employs 30 people.

The firm is recognized for creating buildings that have presence and character — that rely on a discourse between a subtle hand and bold composition to become arresting architecture. [1] In a 2011 interview with the NY Daily News, Berke said, “I want my work to be invisible at times and prominent at others, to be rigorous but not pretentious. It’s that constant shifting of background and foreground, of the importance of architecture shifting back and forth with the importance of life that interests me”. [2]

Deborah Berke & Partners designs a mix of residential, commercial, and "creative institutional"[3] projects as well as distinctive hotels. Notable projects include follow-ups in Bentonville, Arkansas, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Lexington, Kentucky to the award-winning 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, KY. [5,6,7] The firm is also working on the design of a community arts center in Manhattan that is home to Mabou Mines, and Performance Space 122; László Z. Bitó '60 Conservatory Building at Bard College; an addition and renovation to the Rockefeller University Arts Center at SUNY Fredonia and a new residence hall at Dickinson College. The firm has long been well known for its residential projects and has designed houses in the Hamptons, Westchester County, Connecticut, New York City, and the Caribbean. [4]

The practice has received numerous awards for its work, including the AIA Kentucky Honor Award for the 21c Museum Hotel Louisville, 2011. [5] The 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville also garnered the AIANYS Excellence for Historic Preservation/Adaptive Reuse in 2007, [6] and the Best of Year Award for Hospitality Design, Interior Design Magazine, in 2006. [7] Deborah Berke & Partners won an AIA NYS Award of Merit for the Marianne Boesky Gallery in 2009. [8] In 2009 the Irwin Union Bank was awarded a Citation for Design by AIA NYS [8] and an AIA NY Merit Award for Architecture. [9] In 2007, The James Hotel Chicago earned a Citation for Interiors from the AIA NYS [6] and the firm was awarded The Hospitality Design Award for Creative Achievement, Hotel Luxury, by Hospitality Design. The firm received AIANY Design awards for Box Studios (2004), [10] the Baron Loft (2001),[11] and the Howell Loft(1999). In 2012, 48 Bond Street received an Award of Excellence from the Society of Registered Architects NY Council.[12]

Deborah Berke & Partners was a National Design Awards Finalist for Interior Design in 2008.[13]
