Susan Rodriguez, Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture · Design

Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture · Design was founded in 2017, combining more than thirty years of design leadership with a passionate belief in the power of architecture to affect change and improve the quality of life for all. The studio, a New York City certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise and federally certified Women-Owned Small Business, builds upon an award-winning body of work recognized internationally for design excellence and contributing to the vitality of cities, landscapes and the communities and institutions it serves. Central to the practice is an emphasis on addressing pressing issues in contemporary society through design that promotes the wellbeing of communities and the long-term sustainability of the environment.  

Designing at the intersection of architecture and the public realm, the studio distills the essence of cultures and communities through work that ranges in scale and type, from interventions in historic precincts to new large-scale monumental buildings. To each project, STR | A·D brings an attitude about design that connects people to place and to each other through an architecture of interpretation. The work is inspired by the confluence of history, site, program and the relationship of interior and exterior space. Whether rural landscape, campus setting or a dense urban context, STR | A·D seeks to create an architecture that is fused with its surroundings and the natural world.
