Safdie Architects
Safdie Architects is a design studio driven by a spirit of innovation and idealism, founded upon the guiding principles that architecture should be inherently timeless, connected to nature, and profoundly humane. Our design philosophy is rooted in Moshe Safdie’s powerful metaphor: “For Everyone a Garden”, the beautifully simple notion that sees architecture as a generous act of connecting us to nature and creating meaningful spaces of community that serve as catalysts for vibrant public life. While globally active, the practice is intentional in its response to local context, maintaining a nimble and bespoke approach to delivering some of the world’s most imaginative commissions across diverse scales, geographies, and typologies. Safdie Architects is an extended family of partners and colleagues, working collaboratively, with a shared spirit and an uncommon skill in transforming the firm’s humanistic ideals into reality. The practice has its design headquarters in Boston with offices in Jerusalem, Toronto, Shanghai and Singapore.
