Fernando Fisbein Architect was established in New York in 2020. The practice’s work is devoted to the concept and details of every project, in order to achieve solutions that are architecturally, socially, and intellectually meaningful.

Always mindful of context, understood in the broadest sense, Fernando Fisbein Architect strives to reinforce in its projects a sense of belonging — to the people, to the place, and to the moment that we live in — embracing diversity and history while expanding the range of contemporary expression.
