SMA (Stephen Moser Architect) is an architecture and design studio based in New York City with a portfolio of innovative residences, civic-private projects, and ideas-generating competitions. Our work can be found in Colorado, Connecticut, Long Island, NYC, and Westchester County. The focus in all our projects is on making beautiful spaces that respond to the uniqueness of place, reflect and enhance how people live and work, and use high-performance materials and sustainable technologies. SMA seeks a clarity of vision: a relationship between exterior and interior that values simplicity, coherency, and openness.

We value collaboration within our studio and work closely with our clients to help them successfully realize their vision, regardless of the size of their project. As a full-service architecture and design firm, we take our projects from conceptual beginning through the completion of construction. 

Residential projects include a house carved into the side of a mountain in the Colorado Rockies; a net-zero-energy beach house on Shelter Island, designed as a contemporary re-interpretation of a saltbox cottage; and a renovation of the mid-century modern Landsberg House on Long Island, for which SMA received an AIA award. Civic-private work: a master plan for a historic restaurant and environs in NYC’s Fort Tryon Park; and a comprehensive study for SummerStage in NYC’s Central Park. Competition entries include an award-winning design for an open park in Nogales, a city divided by the U.S.-Mexico border; and a contemporary art wing for MALI, the art museum in Lima, Peru.
