Gwathmey Siegel Kaufman & Associates Architects LLC (formerly Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects) is a New York City-based architectural firm founded in 1967 by architects Charles Gwathmey and Robert Siegel.

The firm's work ranges from art and educational facilities and major corporate buildings to furniture systems and decorative art objects.[1] Its designs are regarded as well crafted, expensive, and not particularly avant-garde.[2] Critics view Gwathmey Siegel's work as the stylistic successors of the formal modernism of Swiss architect Le Corbusier.[3] The firm is especially well known for its residential architecture, having designed homes for such famous clients as Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, and Ronald Lauder.[3]

History

Gwathmey and Siegel met while students at The High School of Music & Art in New York City in the 1950s.[4]

Gene Kaufman joined the firm as partner soon after Charles Gwathmey died of cancer in August 2009.[5]
