Daniel Koplowitz Architect

I established my practice in 1988 with a focus on Historic Preservation and exterior
restoration. Over the 30 years of practice I have gravitated toward renovations and
new construction that impact older structures or historic contexts.

My practice is eclectic and a result of varied experience. In part, living overseas, in
France, Italy, Brazil and Belgium had the most influence in my becoming an
Architect. I began my professional career in Washington, DC and came to New York
after receiving a Masters degree in Architecture specializing in historic
preservation.

Whether restoring historic buildings, renovating modern apartments, expanding
and renovating others or designing new structures, I am committed to achieving a
result that serves my clients' needs and provides beauty with lasting value.
I continue to pursue preservation ideals, not only to preserve the built environment,
but to repurpose, restore and create a healthy built environment. Energy
conservation and sustainable architecture is rooted in the preservation movement.
Interestingly, extending the life cycle and improving the energy efficiency of
existing buildings is by far the most 'green' endeavor.

More recently, commissions have diversified my practice further. I recently
completed a major interior and exterior renovation of a house in Scarsdale, NY and
a renovation / conversion of two apartments in Manhattan. In construction, I have a
new Modern Craftsman Style house in West Nyack, NY.

Not in keeping with my 'traditional' style, I completed an extreme conversion of a
1949 brick cape into a modernist 'cube' house in Grandview-on-Hudson, NY.
