Dean Maltz Architect

Dean Maltz Architect provides architectural and design services. Our primary goal is to be responsive to our clients' needs. We respect the contexts we work in, fulfill project programs and create opportunities to integrate high quality design within budget. Our designs are the result of an abstract and independent search for conceptual clarity. The projects are elevated above the limitations of style, and remain respectful of the past without being imitative.

Dean Maltz’ practice encompasses three areas: one in an independent architectural practice, a second in partnership with Shigeru Ban and a third in furniture and furniture showroom design. Founded in 1990, Dean Maltz Architect has a diverse portfolio of projects throughout the United States in commercial and residential design. Commercial projects include offices, building identity, retail space and hospitality design. Residential projects include estates, houses, apartments and lofts.
