Bell-Guilmet Associates

Peaceful, prewar midtown blocks define Bell-Guilmet Associates, an outfit where structural artistry leans on decades of street-level stillness. Perched at 115 E 72nd St, in a stretch known more for limestone walk-ups than swept plazas, the firm carves within quiet storefronts rather than flashy façades.

Inside this discreet corner of Yorkville, Building envelope consultations blend with Zoning variance strategies and Owners representation, then pivot to Sustainable design strategies and Entitlement support once the parcels click into place. Clients often catch a studio number on the buzzer rather than a marquee: (215) 297-8977 echoes down the corridor when the door clicks open.

Reach the studio by tracing the numbered grid east from Lexington, or let the map—find your route here—do the navigating once you step off the 6 train.
