About The Firm

ROSEN ARCHITECTURE, a third generation practice, was established in 2012 when Patrick M. Rosen formed a partnership with his father, Michael B. Rosen. The firm is the successor firm to MICHAEL B. ROSEN, ARCHITECT, which was, in turn, the successor firm to ROSEN AND HOROWITZ, ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS, which was established in 1945 by William M. Horowitz and Michael's father, Alfred J. Rosen.

By necessity the firm works in different styles, but, no matter what the style, the goal is clarity of organization and exactitude in function and construction.
