About Robert Dean Architects

An architecture firm focused on the highest quality of design and execution of custom residential projects. Providing full architectural services in Fairfield and Litchfield County, New York, and New England. We think of ourselves as academic architects of the old school, with a philosophy that demands an intimate knowledge of the history of architecture and a willingness to use style skillfully and respectfully in the design of each building project. We do not seek out a “signature style”; instead we use stylistic themes rigorously, to create buildings that respond to the historical, physical, and environmental contexts into which they must be placed. At the same time, canons of form and proportion are studied to make rooms and places that are inherently beautiful while being easy to live in. Of course, architectural history is itself more complex today, having absorbed a Modernist tradition which now coexists with older Romantic and Classical traditions. We’re interested in the dialogue between old and new that asserts itself in a building as it exists across the span of time. We’re more interested in the beauty than in the logic of creation, although we search for the transcendent point at which beauty and logic merge. We like to make buildings that are undeniably new, and yet seem somehow friendly and familiar, as if they always should have been there.
