ABRUZZO BODZIAK ARCHITECTS is the partnership of Emily Abruzzo and Gerald Bodziak, licensed architects based in New York City. Our portfolio encompasses ground-up buildings, interiors, landscapes and historical restoration. In our work, time-tested, economically viable and readily available methods of construction are used in the service of invention. Both vernacular styling and modern sensibilities inform our designs, which carefully focus attention on environments both built and natural, striving to give sense of place, engage community, or define one’s personal space. An iterative process, our creative methodology utilizes continuous dialogue. With a commitment to detail in construction central to the practice, each project focuses on how architectural elements meet, pass and layer. Committed to employing ecologically sound practices and dedicated to clients' needs, we are critical of mass approach and engaged by design that is individual and yet responsible, visionary but also practical. The firm’s work has been exhibited at numerous institutions including Columbia University, Exit Art, Storefront for Art and Architecture, and The Boston Society of Architects.
