Specter Desouza Architects

Architecture in New York often means balancing bold vision with the realities of urban space. Specter Desouza Architects works from 2061 Broadway, just steps from the 72nd Street subway station, where the Upper West Side’s residential charm meets the energy of Broadway’s commercial strip. This stretch of the neighborhood feels like a quiet hub for creative professionals—design studios, small galleries, and independent shops line the sidewalks, making it a natural fit for a practice that likely engages with both private clients and larger urban projects. They handle everything from residential renovations to ground-up commercial builds, often navigating the city’s permitting maze with clients who want more than just a standard renovation. If you’re considering a project, their number is (212) 724-6600. For directions, the map pinpoints their office here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2588a727856fd:0x9af7904ceda4aac4.
