Dattner Architects

Since the founding of Dattner Architects in 1964, more than 100 of its designs have been recognised for design excellence. Projects for a wide range of communities, clients and users demonstrate the firm's respect for context and the needs of the people it serves. The firm and its principal, Richard Dattner, have been recognised for their significant contribution to public architecture. Dattner's portfolio includes unconventional playgrounds on the west side of Central Park, vast infrastructure complexes like Brooklyn's 26th Ward Sludge Treatment Facility and Manhattan's East 16th Street Con Edison Service Building, the park atop Upper Manhattan's giant North River Pollution Treatment Plant and a number of public schools.
