BARTELS-PAGLIARO ARCHITECTS, LLC Bartels-Pagliaro Architects was founded as a design-oriented studio in 1974. Our firm believes that practicing architecture as a performing art leads to satisfied clients, exceptional projects and the highest quality of construction. Everything that man builds is by definition “architecture.” It is our responsibility to instill in everything we conceive and build Vitruvius’ meaning for that word: “utility, commodity and delight.” Other firms may equal us with the first two qualities; we challenge them to match us with delight. The experience of architecture over the ages provides a rich and solid foundation for contemporary practice. Least important among its legacies are traditional styles. More important is the process of discovery, leading to knowledge, fueling creativity and resulting in art. We want to bring the idea of Gesamptkunstwerk (total work of art) to each and every project. This requires an excellence of execution that only our decades of collective experience can provide. Clients place their faith, hopes and future in our hands. Our commitment is to deliver a project that makes them and architecture proud.

FEATURES: The grand view from this Long Island Sound beach house is reinforced through a generous yet carefully detailed vaulted window. The simplicity allows one to focus on the sight; the complexity enriches the experience.
FEATURES: The glowing jewel box offers expansive views from every room across an ecologically sensitive shorefront. Regulations forced this house to be narrow and small. Our design process made this house wonderful and special.
