Pliskin Architecture / panyc

Pliskin Architecture PLLC  is a team of designers and citizens of the city who believe in giving back, better, to our communities. Through the pursuit of beauty, we create positive change. We design spaces that people love to live in and work in—from places that build lasting family memories and inspire diverse interactions between co-workers to places that set the stage for unforgettable urban experiences.

We embrace ambitious agendas, complicated programs, and curious clients. We innovate to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary—by turning structural brick into architectural expression or converting unused buildings into community resources. By achieving the right balance between our designs and constructability, we maintain the vision from the beginning to the end.

A full-service architecture and interior design firm founded in 2013, we embrace rich exchanges with our clients, collaborators and consultant teams, capitalizing on our combined experiences to yield exceptional outcomes.
