Jesse Bornstein Architecture

Jesse Bornstein Architecture specializes in formally rigorous, site-specific custom residential design.

We work closely with our clients from design conception through construction using study models, material samples, sketches and computer-based drawings, to communicate formal concepts and building systems. Our ongoing interest in experimentation is tempered by our aspiration toward a timeless architecture that explores the formal and spatial language of modern design, as well as by our construction cost/benefit analyses and an abiding respect for our client's budget.

Hallmarks of our practice are a refined palette of materials and architectural details, the integration of day lighting and environmental control systems, and spatially interconnected built and natural environments. We apply our skills, knowledge of construction and aesthetic sensibilities toward creating beautiful, lasting, life-affirming environments for each of our clients.
