Core offering

Garrison Architects provides architectural design, planning, and prefabrication services with a focus on modular construction methodology. Since 1991 the firm has delivered residential, commercial, institutional, and hospitality projects that use factory-built components for sustainability, affordability, and rapid deployment, supported by proprietary framing systems and technology-integration products.

Product overview

Garrison Architects is a New York-based architectural firm specializing in modular construction services since 1991, offering sustainable, technologically advanced buildings across multiple sectors. The firm's portfolio includes residential projects (single-family homes, multi-family housing, affordable housing developments), institutional projects (libraries, child care centers, animal shelters, theaters, federal buildings), hospitality projects (hotels, resorts, landscape retreats), and technology integration products (air filtration furnishings, mobile robotics deployment modules). The core offering centers on modular architecture with inherent material efficiency, economy of scale, and built-in quality control. Notable projects include The Seventy-Six (America's first triple Net Zero development), NYC Emergency Housing Prototype (post-disaster modular housing), Pod Hotel Brooklyn (modular hospitality), and ULPA Filtration Furnishings (COVID-19 air filtration technology). The firm also publishes the Modular Architecture Manual for Kullman Buildings Corporation.

Direct peers

• Kullman Buildings Corporation: A leading US modular construction company and Garrison's core strategic partner; Garrison authored the Modular Architecture Manual for Kullman, and the KFS modular frame system is jointly commercialized. Closest comparable given shared modular DNA and long-standing partnership.

Regional players

• SHoP Architects: NYC-based architecture firm working on large-scale modular and prefabricated residential projects (e.g., Atlantic Yards/B2 modules). Comparable on modular innovation, multifamily housing expertise, and NYC institutional client base.
• nARCHITECTURE: Brooklyn-based architecture firm with comparable work in modular housing (Carmel Place / myMicro), public-sector clients, and innovative small-unit residential design. Strong overlap with Garrison's modular and affordable housing focus.
• WXY Studio: NYC architecture and urban design firm with public-sector and institutional projects. Comparable on civic architecture portfolio and NYC public agency commissions.
• CookFox Architects: NYC-based firm with strong sustainability/LEED/Passive House credentials and multifamily residential expertise. Direct competitor on Net Zero and sustainable multifamily projects in the NYC market.
• Magnusson Architecture and Planning: NYC firm with deep public-sector and affordable housing portfolio, including modular and supportive housing projects. Comparable on NYC public agency clients and affordable multifamily work.
• Gluck+: Integrated architecture, design, and construction firm emphasizing modular, prefab, and sustainable design methods. Comparable on the integrated design-build and modular construction positioning.

Broad incumbents

• Perkins&Will: Large global architecture firm with major sustainability and institutional practice. Competes for the same public-sector, healthcare, and institutional commissions but at significantly larger scale and broader portfolio.
• Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM): Global architecture and engineering giant with deep public-sector, federal, and large-scale mixed-use portfolio. Competes for major institutional commissions Garrison targets but operates at vastly greater scale.

Emerging players

• Plant Prefab: California-based sustainable modular home manufacturer using prefabricated factory systems. Comparable on modular methodology and sustainability focus but operates as a prefab manufacturer rather than a design firm.
