Shakespeare Gordon Studio's Ditmas House was 

 magazine, offering a window into this vibrant and playful residential renovation. We loved this article's exploration of the use of color in the project, a hallmark of SGS's award-winning design sensibility. 

"While the entire home is well balanced and suited for a creative design duo, the attention paid to the primary attic suite is particularly unique. With spaces that take advantage of the unique slope of the pitched roof, there's a coziness and undeniable character in every niche."

Thank you to Emily Conklin for the words, and to David Gilbert and 

 for the beautiful photos of Ditmas House, more of which can be seen on its

We are pleased to introduce Shakespeare Gordon Studio, the next chapter of our architecture practice.

We have a new look and a new website, but we aren’t a new firm. Instead, see this announcement as a renewal – of our commitment to our clients, to our staff, to our design community, and to our city. The core values and architectural sensibilities that have always guided our work remain central to our practice. And what hasn’t changed is our commitment to providing design excellence and exceptional service to our clients, and to strengthening the built environment of our city through uplifting, inspired architecture.

We hope that our new name emphasizes the continued contributions of the talented studio of architects and designers that we lead, and we recently 

. We’re also growing, with three new designers joining us in the first half of 2024. Their energy and talent make us even more excited for what the future holds.

We invite you to look around our new website – we think it’s excellent. This transition inspired us to update our graphics to better reflect the identity of our firm and to showcase our projects. Thank you to 

 for lending us their graphic design and web development expertise.

We’re happy to announce that Ashima Chitre and Ana Sucena (formerly Associates) have been made Senior Associates. These titles reflect Ashima and Ana’s years of dedicated commitment, generous leadership,and design expertise. Two of the firm’s longest team members, they are an integral part of SGS, leading many of our most highly awarded projects and mentoring junior staff. And while Sean Kennedy’s title as Director of Construction Administration isn’t changing, we’d in the same way like to recognize his role at SGS as an essential leader, both in the field and in our office. We are privileged to have Ashima, Ana and Sean’s continued support as we enter this new chapter in the firm’s history. Congratulations to Ashima, Ana and Sean!

SGS enjoyed welcoming two NYC high school students to our office this week as part of the Center for Architecture Discover Architecture program. Kaylee and Ella visited construction sites for our institutional and residential projects, interviewed young architects on our staff about their experiences in the field, researched an exciting design opportunity in Puerto Rico, and more. We wish them the best for their spring semester and future architectural endeavors. Thank you for being with us this week!
