Robert A.M. Stern Architects is a 320-person architecture firm based in New York. First established by Robert A.M. Stern (as Stern Hagmann Architects) in 1969, it is today organized as a limited liability partnership with 16 general partners. The firm's portfolio includes a wide variety of building types as well as planning, landscape design, interior design, and product design, throughout the U.S. and internationally.

Houses and apartments

In the early years the firm worked almost exclusively on private houses and apartment renovations, with a number of clusters of houses designed for developers. In 1994, the firm was responsible for the Life Dream House, plans for a modest, affordable house accessible to all Americans.[1]

Today the design of private houses and apartments remains a substantial portion of the practice. The firm is a repeat member of the AD 100[2] and saw its projects on the cover of Architectural Digest five times in four years.[3][4][5][6][7] The firm's residential practice has been documented in a number of books, including The The American Houses of Robert A.M. Stern,[8] Robert A.M. Stern: Houses,[9] Robert A.M. Stern: Houses and Gardens,[10] and Designs for Living: Houses by Robert A.M. Stern Architects.[11]

Institutional work

Beginning in the mid-1980s the firm won commissions for a number of institutional projects. In 1984 the firm completed the Observatory Hill Dining Hall at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville, Virginia.[12] In 1993 the firm completed both the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts [13][14][15][15][16][17] and the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, New York.[18][19]
The firm won a design competition for the design of the Darden School of Business at University of Virginia[12] in 1992 and has since gone on to design buildings for two dozen schools of business and many other buildings for colleges, professional schools, and independent and charter schools.[20]
The firm won commissions for a series of municipal main libraries beginning in 1998 including the Miami Beach Library,[21][22][23] the Nashville Public Library,[24][25][26] Clearwater Public Library,[27][28] and the Jacksonville Public Library.[29][30][31]

Commercial work


Robert A.M. Stern Architects designed some of its first office buildings for Hines, a privately owned international real estate firm,[32] including Point West Place, Framingham, Massachusetts[33][34][35][36] in 1985; 222 Berkeley Street, Boston, Massachusetts[37][38] in 1991; and 600 Thirteenth Street N.W., Washington DC[39][40] in 1997. The firm's work for Hines expanded to projects across the globe with the Torre del Ángel, Reforma 350, Mexico City, Mexico[41][42] in 2000; Diagonal Mar Entertainment and Retail Center and Residential Development, Barcelona, Spain[43][44] in 2001; Torre Almirante, Avenida Barroso, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil[45][46] in 2004; and Castelo Building, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil[47][48] in 2008. The firm's most recent work for Hines includes Tour Carpe Diem, La Défense, Paris, France[49][50][51][52] completed in 2013 and One Horizon Center, Gurgaon, Haryana, India[53][54] completed in 2014.
An extended relationship with Liberty Property Trust, a real estate investment trust headquartered outside of Philadelphia,[55] has led to several high-profile projects for the firm including The Plaza at PPL Center, Allentown, Pennsylvania[56][57][58][59][60] completed in 2003 and the Comcast Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania[61][62][63][64] completed in 2008. RAMSA is also responsible for the master plan for the Philadelphia Navy Yard,[65][66][67] also commissioned by Liberty, and saw two buildings realized as part of that plan – One Crescent Drive[65][68] in 2005 and Five Crescent Drive,[69][70][71][72] the headquarters for pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline,[73] in 2013.

Disney

The firm has completed several projects for the Walt Disney World Resort Company, including the Yacht and Beach Clubs, Lake Buena Vista, Florida,[74][75][76][77][78] completed in 1991 and the plan for Paris Disneyland in Marne-La Vallée, France[79] which led to the completion of the Hotel Cheyenne and the Newport Bay Club Hotel,[80][81][82][83] both in 1992. The firm also designed the BoardWalk,[84][85][86][87] completed in 1996.

RAMSA's relationship with Disney continued with work for the Walt Disney Company including the Feature Animation Building in Burbank, California,[88][89][90][91] completed in 1994, and the Casting Center in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.[92][93][94] The Walt Disney Company also commissioned RAMSA to develop the master plan for its planned community of Celebration, Florida,[95][96][97][98][99][100] a town encompassing 4,900acres and about 20,000 residents.[101]

Residential buildings

RAMSA's residential practice has expanded to include high-rise residential buildings around the world. Beginning with a rental building for Related, Tribeca Park,[102][103][104][105][106] the frim quickly moved to designing condo buildings such as the Chatham[103][107][108] in 2001, also for Related, followed by others for Related in New York, Los Angeles,[109][110] Boston,[111][112][113][114][115] and Chicago.[116][117]

Perhaps one of the firm's most well-known residential buildings is 15 Central Park West,[118][119][120] located on the southwest corner of Central Park. This limestone-clad building, completed in 2008, set records in New York for the most expensive apartment sale and achieved over $2 billion in total sales.[121][122] Designed for Zeckendorf Development, 15 Central Park West began RAMSA's relationship with the developer and has led to other work with the company, including 18 Gramercy Park South,[123] completed in 2012 and 520 Park Avenue,[124][125] currently under construction.
