John
Fülöp Associates was established as a full service Architecture
and Planning firm in New York City in 1974. Working from a loft in
Little Italy, the firm provided clients with full range architectural
design and space planning services, as well as construction observation to
project completion. Beginning with many small scale, budget minded
projects for artists who were beginning to live and work in industrial
lofts in neighboring Soho, creative solutions for residential conversions
were the order of the day.
Designing
conversions to existing buildings became a staple of the urban work
of the firm and today the reuse of existing structures remains an important
aspect of our work, while new buildings form the bulk of our work outside
of metropolitan areas. Community planning projects both in New York
City and in several rural areas of the Northeast have always been a
part of the firm’s work.
In
all the work done by our firm, a commitment to constant research and
experimentation creates the possibility for innovative and beautiful
solutions, often resulting in new and appropriate forms of architectural
expression, while always keeping an eye toward meeting budgetary demands.
In 1980, it was here in the Berkshires where a prototype for a low cost
solar home was developed for a client's strict budgetary requirements.
This project has resulted in a series of very successful, low cost,
solar homes built throughout the United States and abroad. In 1988,
a New England office was opened in West Stockbridge to accommodate the
firm's shift of focus from urban to rural work.
