40 Years: A Fresh Feel and Future for ADP Architects

OCTOBER 24, 2024

In advance of ADP Architects’ 40th year, our office embarked on a comprehensive rebranding and website redesign effort that captures the essence of our firm’s evolution and celebrates our clients’ contemporary needs. Since ADP’s inception in 1985, we have grown into an office of 25 expert architectural designers, planners and preservationists. 

Firm Facts:

Established: 1985

Location: New York, NY

Employee Size: 20–25

Founding Principals: David C. Acheson, AIA; Michael F. Doyle, FAIA;

Firm Leadership: Drew Hartley, AIA; Lou Martino, AIA

Deeply rooted in the historic urban fabric of New York City, yet gracing cultural milieus around the world, our practice honors timeless building traditions while breathing new life into the regional and global communities we serve. Our collaborative, multigenerational design team enjoys working together to solve architectural problems across multiple scales. We have recently expanded our design and preservation team to celebrate new perspectives and novel approaches to positioning the city’s historic buildings for contemporary needs and uses.

Our new brand accommodates an aspirational design practice that at once honors the rich history of ADP while embracing a modern, dynamic and fluid future for the firm. Timelessness, adaptability and elegance are three brand attributes that encapsulate our firm’s foundation in historic preservation, graceful growth, steady momentum and purposeful design intent. The newest iteration of our website emphasizes our commitment to a building’s deep history and conscientious craftsmanship with a focus on the people that keep it alive.
