SCHMITT ANDERSON Architects

Approach

Schmitt Anderson Architects have received several state-level design awards, have been published in national magazines and regional newspaper articles and have taught design studio at NJIT and Architecture at Peddie School. Frederick Schmitt and Reidun Anderson are Cornell Architecture graduates, each with more than 30 years professional practice experience. Our approach is founded on highly skilled design creativity, innovative problem-solving, disciplined and detailed drawings, diligent project management and construction know-how to bring success. We are sensitive to context and are equally comfortable in utilizing and exploring differing vocabularies as mandated by the owner and project location etc. Each project becomes a unique result - utilizing the client's program, site conditions, surrounding neighborhood, goals, constraints, and budget to formulate completely custom work. The level of service is often widely variable: involvement can be as simple as a consultation or concept design exercise to extensive, fully-specified, high caliber Architectural and Interior design and documentation. Precise project management and quality control are always emphasized throughout the process. The partners are fully involved through all phases of work including the engagement engineering consultants; tasks which require skill or experience are not delegated to others which can reduce quality and effective communication.
