My architectural practice focuses on mostly apartment interiors in Manhattan as well as offices, shops, dentist offices and institutional work
(www.visconti-architecture.com). I am a member of the New York Athletic Club, and certainly need to spend more time there! Recently I joined the board of directors for the 600 member Westchester AIA. My company is a member of the US Green Building Council after becoming certified as a LEED Professional in September 2008. This year I received an AIA design award for a dentist office on Park and 60th Street and a modern minimalist apartment on Third Avenue and 65th Street. Currently, I am finishing a townhouse on East 39th Street, a cheese shop on First Avenue at 81st Street and a dentist office on Fifth Avenue at 10th Street. I stay in touch with classmates Jesse Cohen, Mike Schiff, Steve Metcalf, Matthew Schwartz, Warren Etheredge mostly through my keyboard!”
