FXFOWLE Architects

Founded over 35 years ago, the practice of FXFOWLE Architects encompasses architecture, interior design, planning and urban development. With offices in New York and Washington DC, the firm is committed to innovative design inspired by urbanism, technology and sustainable strategies. FXFOWLE's award-winning portfolio of projects spans the globe and addresses a range of scales and typologies, including office buildings; multi-family residential; mixed-use; retail; cultural facilities; K-12 and higher education institutions; corporate; not-for-profits; international projects; planning/urban design; and infrastructure/transportation. The firm's design process is an interactive and collaborative one, promoting open communication facilitated by effective leadership. Structured around three design studios, each directed by partners, the firm's model ensures team-wide collaboration to meet each project's diverse needs. Throughout the design process, clients are engaged and informed in making decisions in order to reach consensus and move projects forward to successful completion. The basis of FXFOWLE's work is a collective, rigorous exploration of fit and form, driven by ideas about function, place, the form-making process and the role of design in human settlement. Knowledge and understanding of larger community and environmental issues intensifies projects' meaningfulness. Members of the firm routinely provide leadership in civic, sociological and sustainability initiatives. This commitment allows the firm to bring a unique perspective to every project, resulting in work that is innovative, relevant and timeless.
