Magnum Opus Architecture P.C.

What Magnum Opus Architecture P.C. does

Magnum Opus Architecture P.C. is a privately-held, full-service architectural firm headquartered at 99 Powerhouse Road, Suite 305, Roslyn Heights, New York, serving the NYC metropolitan area and Long Island. Founded and led by Marciano Stanco R.A. as Principal & Founder, the firm operates as an independent Professional Corporation with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding. It delivers architectural services across six core practice areas — Local Law 11 / FISP facade inspection and compliance (serving as a NYC Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector), Interior Architecture (with stated experience covering more than 2 million square feet of buildouts), Space Programming, Building Restorations (including 20-30-year phased maintenance planning), Base Building / core-and-shell work, and Residential Services for co-op boards, condo boards, property managers, and private homeowners — plus a specialized Historic Preservation offering for landmarked structures requiring LPC coordination.

The firm operates without any proprietary technology platform; its work is delivered through traditional professional services workflows covering architectural consulting, design, engineering coordination, construction administration, and facade inspection. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and consultative, engaging directly with enterprise clients (commercial developers, financial institutions, hospitality operators, healthcare providers, and production studios) and mid-market residential cooperatives, condominiums, and property management companies. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services fees that are quote-driven and tailored to individual project scope, building type, and client requirements; no published rate cards or pricing tiers exist. Marketing is conducted through a portfolio website, an educational blog focused on Local Law 11 and DOB NOW eFiling guidance, and an email newsletter subscription channel, supported by delivery partnerships with JMV Engineering (structural), The Element Group (AV/experience design), and Benhar Office Interiors (furniture).

Notable enterprise clients include Popular Bank (corporate headquarters interior buildout at 85 Broad St in the Financial District plus multiple branch implementations including Park Avenue, Madison Avenue, and Baxter Avenue), Silvercup Studios (full restoration of a four-story 1931 pre-war factory), The Standard Hotel in the Meatpacking District, a pediatric ophthalmic center at 144 Read Street in Tribeca, the New York Architectural Terra Cotta Works (an 1892 landmarked building), and a Carle Place sports-themed flagship restaurant with prototype design for franchise expansion. The firm also serves a distributed base of mid-market residential cooperatives and condominiums across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island. Its primary differentiation is the 'hand-on architects' staffing model, in which staff hold both professional architectural credentials and field construction experience as carpenters, masons, and tradespeople, enabling early identification of project execution hurdles and practical detailing.
