Steven Zirinsky AIA, NCARB, Partner
Principal of Zirinsky Architecture PC, Steven is known for making complicated projects simple, innovative design and following through to completion. Construction projects vary in size and complexity- from new buildings to additions and renovations to landmark structures, from residential to commercial.
Other services such as zoning consultation for retail chains (one is Raymour & Flanigan) are also provided.
After graduation from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1982, Steven worked in several firms in New York City- Perkins and Will, James D’Auria, and Kim Wang Associates before establishing his own firm with Frank Meier (who has since retired) in 1991.
