Stripping Away the Superfluous
We embrace every design challenge and opportunity as part of our journey, seeing limitations not as obstacles but as catalysts for innovation. With a deep respect for place and purpose, we create architecture that thrives within its context, shaping a timeless connection between people and their environment.​
​
Siegel, formerly Robert Siegel Architects, is a leader in design innovation. We are known for making buildings that are easy to use and beautiful to look at. We achieve this by employing original thought in the research, planning, design and engineering of each building, and by focusing on developing and deploying innovative materials and systems. As a result, our buildings reinforce the unique strengths of their communities.
We are an award-winning internationally recognized architectural firm with buildings in Asia and throughout the United States. We provide master planning, architecture and interior design expertise for academic, civic and cultural facilities, as well as for retail, commercial, and residential enjoyment. Our holistic design process includes the development of bespoke furniture and lighting pieces.
We fully engage our clients in the design and construction of their buildings. Using an open and collaborative process, we work with experienced and technically progressive consultants to produce outstanding architecture that is beautifully designed, meticulously detailed, and carefully constructed to endure for generations.
“Every design challenge is an opportunity for invention."
