Company Profile
Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners LLP
Company Overview
Beyer Blinder Belle was founded in 1968, in the wake of the urban renewal movement in the United States, when the social fabric of cities, communities, and buildings was compromised by the prevailing attitudes about planning and architecture. We pioneered and defined a different approach to the design of the built environment that focused on architecture empowering people — their interaction with each other on streets and in neighborhoods, their pleasure in moving through the city, and their connections to the surrounding physical fabric.
This mission has guided us for four decades and has shaped a broad and award-winning practice — now 155 professionals in New York City and Washington, DC engaged in architecture, planning, and interior design. Many of our projects still involve the steward-ship of historic buildings in sensitive urban sites?—?the work for which we have become best recognized. Our deep sense of identity and evolving perspectives on design have guided our practice in new construction as well as master planning and urban design. With our clients and friends, we continue the dialogue.
