Architecture firm expands international presence
The Swiss-American architecture firm Montalba Architects has opened its third office in New York. With the office on the American East Coast, the architects want to promote the American and European design dialogue and cultural exchange.
Montalba Architects, the international architecture firm with existing offices in Lausanne, Switzerland, and Los Angeles, California, has opened an office in New York’s Meatpacking District in Manhattan. With this office, the architects are strengthening their presence on the American East Coast and their commitment to location-based, well thought-out architectural markets in various global markets, as detailed in a press release.
The location allows architecture to be perceived through different perspectives, be it rural or metropolitan, explains David Montalba, founder of Montalba Architects. Building on the foundations of the Lausanne and Californian offices, the architecture firm can continue to promote cultural exchange and design dialogue between Europe and the United States. The opening ceremony in New York was attended by a close circle of friends, employees and design and architecture professionals. “We are excited to build a growing circle of partners in New York and internationally as we embark on the next 20 years as a firm,” said David Montalba.
Montalba Architects, founded in 2004, combines Californian modernism with Swiss precision in its projects, according to the company. The architects have won multiple awards for their designs of residential, retail, hospitality, commercial and cultural spaces in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Caribbean.
