Blejer Architecture is dedicated to creating beautiful architecture. We work to understand the specific needs of each client and project and translate that into functional buildings that are are a joy to be in.

Service - Blejer Architecture is a full service architecture firm that guides clients through the project from inception through construction. We understand that for many of our clients this may be their first time working with an architect. We work closely with our clients to keep them informed throughout the project to realize their design goals.

Design - We strive to bring design excellence to our projects inside and out. We start with the layout and overall concept of a building and inoperative the interiors in as a cohesive design. Sunlight, views, privacy, indoor/outdoor connection are all considered in addition to the specific use requirements of the clients.

Energy Performance - We believe buildings should be well built and this means energy efficient and comfortable. We bring an understanding of building science and design to our projects. Beyond required code minimums we consider the assembly of the building for efficiency and performance in terms of insulation, weather and vapor control, air tightness and solar gain. Justin has experience and understanding of passive house and energy performance, for example the Montauk Lake House and Guest House which used a foam free approach to Passive House construction.

Craft - We give attention to details, in choosing materials and fittings, designing their connections and considering their finishes. We work closely with builders to insure a project is completed beautifully and with craftsmanship.
