Patriquin Architects is a New Haven-based team of architects and designers working across Connecticut and the United States on various new buildings and transformations of existing spaces. Established in 2010, the office has expertise in numerous institutional, educational, commercial, and residential project typologies. We have been recognized across the industry for exceptional achievements in design and sustainability and are leaders in advancing equity, diversity, and justice issues in the design and construction industry. We are community architects with strong ties to our historic, Passive House-certified office building at 20 Grand Avenue, the oldest freestanding commercial building in the city, built in 1816. In collaboration with our clients, engineering consultants, and construction partners, we create successful and lasting designs for the public good.

Patriquin Architects is a Woman-Owned Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) registered with the State of CT's Department of Administrative Services. We are proud winners of AIA-CT's Small Firm Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Challenge Award and have taken on the AIA Materials Pledge.

-AIA Connecticut 2019 Chrysalis Award

About the Friends Center for Children:
This charming building creates a friendly environment for the very young child. The scale and warmth of its materials relate to the child, the primary user.
– AIA Connecticut 2015 Design Award

It’s good to know you can have good architectural design – light, airy, comfortable and efficient – and know that it’s also ‘responsible, green’ design.
– Owner, Kitchen Zinc

The team at Patriquin Architects is extremely hands on, and efficient at following up on any issues critical to the construction schedule. They are very good at problem solving and team resolutions.
– Owner’s Representative, Friends Center for Children.

About Roìa Restaurant: 

This preservation and restoration project brings back the feel of the original space leaving traces of the renovations behind with clues in the flooring… It creates a wonderful feeling of being in an historic place where the passage of time is not only noted but celebrated.

-AIA Connecticut 2020 Elizabeth Mills Brown Award of Excellence
