Over the past two decades, Amanda Martocchio Architecture has been working with their clients to deliver warm, modern homes that foster a sense of wellbeing. Their elegant, understated living spaces are warmed by natural light, enriched with a novel integration of materials and craftsmanship, and inspired by connections to the outdoors. At the core of their design approach is caring for the environment and the earth’s resources for which they have earned LEED certification.
The studio was founded in New Canaan, CT by Amanda Martocchio who was inspired by the innovative legacy of mid-century modernism there. Amanda was awarded the 2023 Woman in Architecture Award by CT’s American Institute of Architects, and the studio has been honored with multiple design awards during their more than
20 years of designing homes in NY, CT, and RI. The studio works with clients to assess project feasibility, evaluate master plans and provide architectural and interior design services.
CHRISTOPHER PAGLIARO ARCHITECTS
Christopher Pagliaro Architects is inspired by a grand vision for the future yet deeply grounded in a legacy of excellence forged decades ago. The firm believes that practicing architecture as a performing art leads to client satisfaction and has developed a premier reputation as the creator of exceptional waterfront architecture.
The firm brings the idea of “total work of art” to each project. The philosophy is simple: each project will apply the key concepts of place, space, light, scale and material. Projects are designed with opportunities to maximize the daylight and its effect on spatial flow. Each accentuates the other, enticing you into the space, conveying a sense of grandness, confidence, and optimism… a sense of life’s possibilities.
There is an experience to the architecture. It is not simply the location of a picture window, but more the manipulation of the building’s envelope so that its spaces become a part of the view. It is not singular, but multiple, experienced from different angles and through multiple spaces simultaneously. It is always changing and moving, calm seas and violet storms, harsh sunshine and soft auras, moody grays, and brilliant blues. It is nature’s rare gift.
