Alexander Jermyn Architecture

Atelier West addresses the merger of social and economic forces within the built environment. In this relationship, architecture is not simply the translation of ideas to buildings, but a critical inquiry into the appropriate use of material resources, energy, and functions for our communities and our environment. The firm relies on an analytical design and research process to synthesize the complex elements of site, program, and budget for residential, institutional, and commercial interests. Principles of ecological and financial sustainability guide each project to determine the most cost effective and low impact solutions for the life cycle of the building. This informs the careful selection of materials, structural and mechanical systems, for both the construction and the long term maintenance of the building. Clients collaborate and participate in all phases of the design and construction process to help shape the spaces they will ultimately occupy.
