Davis Brody Bond is an American architectural firm headquartered in New York City, New York, with additional offices in Washington, DC and São Paulo, Brazil. The firm is named for Lewis Davis, Samuel Brody, and J. Max Bond Jr. and is led by five partners: Steven M. Davis, William H. Paxson, Carl F. Krebs, Christopher K. Grabé, and David K. Williams.[1]

The work of the firm includes architectural and urban design projects for major universities, national, state and local governments, and other forms of public, private and institutional clients in the sectors of housing, museums, health care, and education.[2] Notable projects include the National September 11 Memorial & Museum,[3] the Portico Gallery at the Frick Collection,[4] and the National Museum of African American History and Culture.[5]

History

The firm was founded by Sam Brody, Lew Davis, and Chester Wisniewski in 1952 in New York. Davis, Brody and Wisniewski (now Davis Brody Bond) gained recognition by realizing social housing projects for New York City, such as Waterside Plaza.[6][7] While the firm has expanded far beyond its original boundaries, the legacy of quality New York City work to the benefit of New Yorkers is still a keystone of the firm's design philosophy. After J. Max Bond Jr. joined the partnership in 1990,[8] the firm became Davis Brody Bond in 1996.[2] From 2006 to 2011 Davis Brody Bond was in partnership with Aedas. In 2010, Davis Brody Bond took an ownership interest in the architectural and interiors firm Spacesmith, a certified Women's Business Enterprise;[9] the firms are housed together within the same office in New York.[1]
