WHO WE ARE 
 
calisherstudio is a collaboration of architects, design professionals and technical experts, who 
since 1995, regularly join forces on unique, technically difficult, challenging and fast-track 
projects.  While collaborating on studio projects to pool knowledge, resources and expertise, 
each individual in the studio also maintains his own personal practice for smaller, mostly 
residential projects.  We find this is an exciting and efficient way to target the right resources to 
a project. 
 
Our current studio consists of the following members: 
 
Alan Glenn Calisher AIA     Bruce Zitlau 
Samuel M. Williams AIA     Claes Hodnett 
Boris Shirvanian       
 
 
 
WHAT WE OFFER 
 
calisherstudio offers all types of architectural and planning services.  We have individually and 
collectively provided executive architectural services to designers, field architectural services to 
contractors, as well as traditional design and executive services to our private clients.  All 
members of this studio have extensive field experience. 
 
Our motivation and the commitment that we enthusiastically make is to deliver a successful 
project to owners.  We strive to complement the owner’s team to provide coordinated, timely 
and accurate services.  We check our egos at the door and roll up our sleeves.  We always ask 
how we can help, however large or small the need is, and we are as versed in the field as we 
are in the office.   
 
We look forward to discussing how calisherstudio can help you with your project.
