Newman Architects is a collaborative design studio based in New Haven, Connecticut, and led by five principals: A. Brooks Fischer, AIA; José Hernández, AIA, NOMA, LEED GA; Melinda Agron, AIA, NOMA, LEED GA; Peter Newman, Assoc. AIA; and Richard Munday, AIA. Together, our staff of thirty forms a knowledge-driven architectural practice with a vision to work collaboratively to shape space and expand possibilities. 

From our new office space near the New Haven Green, Newman provides comprehensive architectural services from community engagement, programming, and conceptual design through construction administration and post-occupancy evaluation for higher education, commercial, K-12, library, civic and community projects. Our work has been acknowledged for its excellence in design, management, sustainability, and team collaboration with over 150 awards and—most importantly—longstanding relationships with and ongoing endorsement from our clients.

Herbert Newman founded our firm in 1964 with a commitment to creating functional, nurturing environments that have a sense of belonging to the communities they serve. In working towards our contemporary mission to create places of enduring value that serve, sustain, and enrich life, we are driven by six core values that define our approach to our work and to our interactions with each other: capability, curiosity, integrity, belonging, agility, and care. 

Our work balances fundamental design principles that respond to fundamental human needs with the flexibility to respond to evolving social and technological demands. Our aim is to create lasting architecture with clear patterns of organization, straightforward yet sensitive geometries, plentiful access to natural light, shared paths and places for community, universal accessibility, and environmental, social, and economic sustainability. These simple ideas reflect the aspiration that all our work foster connection between people and place.
