Stonehill & Taylor Architects

What Stonehill & Taylor Architects does

Stonehill & Taylor Architects (legal entity Stonehill & Taylor Architects, P.C.) is a New York-headquartered professional services firm providing integrated architecture and interior design services for the hospitality sector. Founded in 1986 and operating from 31 West 27th Street, Fifth Floor, the firm serves enterprise hotel brands, developers, owners, and operators across the full hospitality spectrum — from boutique and independent venues to large-scale luxury flagships — and additionally extends hospitality-informed design to residential developers. Service lines cover new building design and planning, interior design with bespoke FF&E development, historic restoration, and adaptive reuse. The firm operates two integrated studios (Architecture and Interior Design) that inform each other's design process and provide clients with single-source design responsibility.

The firm's underlying technology stack is industry-standard rather than proprietary: BIM, CAD, and related technical tools are deployed across hospitality projects, and a large percentage of staff is LEED-certified with experience delivering LEED-certified projects including gold level. Differentiators are process- and craft-based rather than technology-based: the integrated architecture + interiors studio model, narrative-driven design with strong sense of place, use of local materials and craftspeople, and a "single source" delivery model.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue. Fees are negotiated on a project-by-project basis through direct enterprise engagement, RFPs, and referrals from returning clients; the firm states that the majority of clients return with additional projects. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales concentrated on hospitality brands and developers. The firm does not publicly disclose revenue, has no outside funding or parent company, and operates as a privately held professional corporation with a 101-250 headcount and leadership headed by founder/President Paul D. Taylor and Principal Neill Parker Jr.
