A mid-sized, woman-led firm, Gelfand Partners Architects has a diverse perspective and a humane approach to architecture. A full-service outfit that includes architecture, landscape architecture, and interiors, our experienced and talented designers have spent decades bringing sustainable, affordable, and practical solutions to schools, housing, community facilities, and commercial space, both for new and existing buildings.
Here's something to think about: The majority of buildings that are going to be occupied in the next 30 years already exist. Gelfand Partners Architects breathes new life into old buildings. Whether they're aging public schools or housing, historic landmarks, or are just beautiful old buildings, we can enhance qualities often missing in today's construction, while meeting the needs of the modern age.
A reimagined renovation treads lightly on the planet, takes advantage of reclaimed and recycled materials, and is ground zero for how we think about reusing buildings and resources, now and in the future.

PARK(ing) Day is an annual worldwide event where artists, designers and citizens transform parking spots into temporary public parks.
This year we used a sidewalk on SF's Mid Market Street to create "Connection Site" using printer paper tubes.
Hangtime Bluetooth Speakers in the tubes provided a soundtrack.
The public was invited to answer the questions "What fuels you?" and "What gives you a sense of place?" by writing on the tubes or recording an answer on our smart phones.
Their answers were then incorporated into the installation.

Adaptive reuse of older and historic buildings can enhance our understanding of community resources and provide a sustainable method for housing new programs.
We pride ourselves on our ability to provide rehabilitation of historic buildings, bringing physical integrity back to worn buildings while conserving their embodied energy, creatively installing new uses, and enhancing their wonderful historic fabric.
Whether the buildings are listed landmarks, contributory to a district, or just nice old buildings, we work to enhance those qualities of historic buildings often missing from today's construction while implementing contemporary life safety, accessibility and structural systems.
