Since 1983 Bone/Levine Architects has provided technical services and general consulting to the real estate industry and to architects and independent building owners. This work includes exterior envelopes, building systems, adaptive reuse, general building renovations, historic preservation, additions and user amenities and compliance with the complex regulatory landscape. The firm has worked on major projects in Boston and Philadelphia, but the core of the practice, and our particular expertise, is rooted in the four decades of experience and hundreds of buildings that we have worked on in greater New York City. Explore the services we offer.
Our architectural work has included houses, apartments and lofts, cultural and commercial institutions, multi-family housing, and urban planning. Much of our portfolio has been the realization of unique solutions in special circumstances. Our diverse works have in common a focus on spatial clarity, well-developed details and a carefully crafted approach to materials. Our work has won numerous design awards. The firm draws knowledge from having worked on over three hundred significant buildings in New York City, one of the greatest architectural settings on earth; from this experience we have learned to develop sustainable and durable building agendas, ideas cultivated from a passion for understanding both traditional building techniques and the state of the art in sustainability methods and materials.
Throughout our four decades of practice, we have always maintained a vigorous commitment to independent research: work that has included the study of infrastructure, landscape, natural resources, pollution, community awareness and environmental design. These research projects go hand in hand with public service, education, exhibition and publication. Explore our portfolio of architectural design work.
