The work of Bolender Architects is known for sensitivity to its surroundings and for expressing the values of an individual client along with the enduring principles of architecture. Different circumstances evoke differing stylistic responses, with common threads of modesty, joy in materials and commitment to sustainable practices. Projects vary greatly in size and function.
Clients include businesses and home owners, non-profit organizations and the City of Philadelphia. Process is important to the work both functionally and intellectually. Each project brings the opportunity to seek answers to basic questions. How are decisions made that result in a good building? Whose voices are heard? How will this building uplift the next generation, whose voices cannot be heard?
Especially in difficult economic times, how can this building offer the greatest value to our clients and to future users? Bolender Architects was established in 2012. Projects from 1997 to 2012 are by Schade and Bolender Architects LLP, with Kiki Bolender as principal in charge.

Services
Looking for a fresh start following her retirement, the client moved back into the small mid-century modern house where she grew up.
But she wanted more space for herself, her guests and her dogs, more connection with the beautiful wooded lot and a quiet base for her advocacy work.
The small structure became part of a much more extensive design - honoring the beauty of the site and reflecting the client's personal architectural sensibilities alongside the timeless values of design with nature.
A 9,000 SF suburban mansion had fallen into disrepair.
