ARCHITECTURE · CONSTRUCTION · DEVELOPMENT

Design and construction, part of the same conversation.

For more than three decades, Cohen Design/Build Architect has brought architectural vision together with real-world construction and development experience, so a project is considered from every angle: how it looks, how it functions, how it gets approved and how it gets built.
Engage us for architecture alone, or continue through construction with our integrated Design/Build services.

Design-Build Under One Vision

ABOUT COHEN DESIGN/BUILD ARCHITECT

More than architecture. A broader perspective.

Cohen Design/Build Architect was founded in 2002 by William J. Cohen, AIA after years spent working across architecture and construction management. That experience shaped the way the firm approaches projects today. Design is considered alongside feasibility, construction, approvals, budget and the many details that connect an idea on paper to a successful finished environment.

Our Story →

Our Process

From first conversation to finished vision.

Every successful project starts with understanding the people behind it. Our process is collaborative, transparent and informed by decades of architectural and construction experience.

01 Listen

Every project begins with listening. We take the time to understand your goals, how you live or work, your priorities, budget and what the project needs to accomplish.

02 Explore

We study existing conditions, zoning, feasibility, opportunities and constraints to establish a clear direction before the design advances.

03 Design

The vision takes shape through schematic design and design development. Layouts, functionality, materials, aesthetics and details are explored and refined collaboratively.

04 Coordinate

As the design develops, we coordinate the consultants and technical disciplines the project requires: structural, civil, mechanical, electrical and other specialists as appropriate.

05 DOCUMENT + NAVIGATE

The approved design is developed into detailed construction documents. We address applicable codes and zoning requirements and help guide the project through the municipal review and approval process.

Your Project, Your Path

Architecture & Design

Take the completed architectural work to the contractor of your choice.

Integrated Design/Build

The same team carries the project forward into construction, maintaining continuity from the original design through execution.

06 STAY INVOLVED

Whether we are building your project or working alongside your contractor, our architectural involvement can continue during construction as appropriate to the agreed scope of services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Billie and Roxana make a perfect team between concepts and creating a visual representation come to life.  I have a very "unique" structure that required out of the box thinking and design.  His team of referral partners also makes the process flow.    Will use again for future projects  A+

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred to Cohen Design Build by a friend who kept raving about Billy’s philosophy: “It’s all in the details.” With Billy, those words came to life. As a designer myself, I know how much the little things matter- yet he noticed details I never would have seen. I felt as though I was treated as a partner, not just a client. He was patient  thoughtful, and intentional through every step and the finished space became the oasis I had always dreamed of. Renovating a home is usually stressful and overwhelming, but with Billy and his team, the process unfolded with such ease that it became a rare and incredible experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Bill since 2008. 16 years. We are starting my 4th store fit-out together. If there is one thing that proves to be invaluable to a time line on a project, it is an architect that can resolve onsite issues QUICKLY and keep the ball rolling. That would be Cohen Design Build Architect. Great people, super hands on, won't use anyone else.

Bill exceeded our expectations with his creativity, attention to detail, and ability to truly understand our vision. They blended functionality and aesthetics seamlessly, giving us a space that feels both luxurious and practical. The team was communicative and professional throughout the process, offering thoughtful suggestions and working collaboratively to ensure every detail was perfect. This is a fairly large project which can feel daunting at times but Bill and his team made us feel supported the entire way. If you’re looking for a talented architect who genuinely cares about their clients, look no further. Highly recommend!
