Colangelo Associates Architects
About
Architectural firm, established in 1980, serving Greenwich, Fairfield County, Stamford, Westport, Darien, New Canaan, Southport, and Westchester County. Services ranging from the design of modest house additions and renovations to large-scale projects including estates, multi-family, commercial and industrial buildings. Our design philosophy integrates the idea that the clients stylistic and functional needs are translated into a well-tailored and cohesive architectural whole. The clients needs combined with our expertise will result in a well sited, diligently planned product that is both aesthetically sound and functional. As our work demonstrates, we do not harbor preconceived ideas or a signature style and look forward to working with clients to produce a logical sequence of design ideas.
Since we work in parametric 3D software, the client can visualize the actual end product before construction begins.
We enjoy helping the client build the right thing. If the concept is strong, the project will proceed smoothly.
