About us
Morris Adjmi Architects (MA) interprets the historic forces that shape our cities to design buildings that are both contextual and contemporary. The firm’s diverse team of architects and interior designers is guided by a shared belief that timeless ideas about beauty and harmony can be integrated into the modern built environment, but the expression of those ideas must reflect the way we live today. MA’s collaborative, research-based approach has helped establish the firm as a leader in the revitalization of post-industrial neighborhoods and historic districts with commercial, residential, and cultural projects that are imbued with a distinct sense of place and purpose. Morris Adjmi established MA in New York City in 1997 following a 13-year, collaboration with Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Aldo Rossi. On that strong foundation, he built a practice inspired by the arts and by new technologies as well as history and tradition. Today, with projects under construction around the country, the firm is recognized for its thoughtful engagement with context, creative use of materials, and sophisticated designs.

A night to remember! Thank you, Historic Districts Council!
On behalf of our Board of Directors, Advisers, and staff, we would like to thank everyone who joined us at this year’s Landmarks Lion Award Gala, honoring Morris Adjmi. We would also like to thank those who donated generously to this special evening. We are forever grateful for your support of the Historic Districts Council. If you weren’t able to partake in the celebration or if you would like to relive Friday night, please visit our website to see photos of the event! Since 1990, the Landmarks Lion Award has honored those who have shown unusual devotion and aggressiveness in protecting New York City’s historic buildings and neighborhoods. At this year’s event, friends, colleagues, advocates, and many others celebrated Morris Adjmi's role as a practitioner, professional, and preservationist whose approach to contextual architecture and adaptive reuse celebrates the irreplaceable character of our City's historic districts. The evening was a powerful reminder of the strength of our preservation community. HDC will continue to champion this spirit as we defend and celebrate New York City’s historic neighborhoods. We hope you’ll stand with us. Click below to make a year-end gift in honor of Morris and help support the Historic Districts Council of tomorrow.

For more than 20 years, the Historic Districts Council has recognized New Yorkers who meaningfully support the celebration and preservation of our city. We’re honored that tonight, HDC will present Morris Adjmi, FAIA, with the 2025 Landmarks Lion Award at their fall gala. Since founding MA, Morris has stayed committed to creating architecture that connects past and present, memory and innovation. His work has helped set a new standard in New York for introducing contemporary design within Historic Districts—made possible through close collaboration with the Historic Districts Council and the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. His conversation-driven approach has strengthened the dialogue with HDC and LPC, ultimately leading to better projects. While we don’t always get it right the first time, HDC’s thoughtful critiques have consistently pushed our work forward. Morris and the MA team extend our deep gratitude to HDC, LPC, and Fred Bland for their partnership over the years. We’re also grateful to our preservation consultants at HIGGINS QUASEBARTH & PARTNERS LLC for guiding us through the world of historic approvals. And to our clients, collaborators, and the team who bring these ideas to life — thank you. We couldn’t do this without you. New York is always evolving, and we’re proud to help shape its architectural landscape with care, respect, and imagination. #morrisadjmiarchitects #wearema #historicdistrictscouncil #landmarkspreservationcommission #architecturenyc #contextualarchitecture #landmarks
