What alfandre architecture does

Alfandre Architecture is a full-service architecture firm founded in 1991 by Rick Alfandre and headquartered in New Paltz, New York, where it occupies a LEED Platinum, Net Zero Energy office building. The firm provides architectural design, integrated design-build delivery, and sustainable building services across the Hudson Valley region (Ulster, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Sullivan, and Rockland counties) to commercial, institutional, residential, hospitality, religious, and government clients. Its service portfolio spans commercial architecture, residential architecture, design-build, green building, sustainable design, masterplanning and visioning, feasibility studies, and energy and utility analysis. Founder Rick Alfandre is NCARB-certified and licensed in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, with LEED AP BD+C accreditation since 2003 and past chairmanship of the USGBC NY Upstate Chapter.

The firm's technical capabilities center on high-performance, energy-efficient building design and include LEED, Energy Star, and Passive House certification expertise; high-performance building envelope systems; renewable energy integration (solar PV, solar thermal, geothermal); energy recovery ventilation; and a proprietary panelized building system recognized by BuildingGreen as a Top 10 Product in 2010. Vertical integration is achieved through EcoBuilders Inc., a wholly-owned construction subsidiary founded in 2009 that enables seamless design-to-occupancy delivery. Notable completed work includes New York State's first Net-Zero-Energy Fire Station, a LEED-certified M&T Bank flagship branch, the 25-room Emerson Resort & Spa with geothermal HVAC, and a LEED Platinum office building serving as a live demonstration project.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees quoted on a project-by-project basis, with multi-year contracts covering full design and construction phases. Customer acquisition relies on direct outreach (website contact forms, phone), community involvement (Ulster and Dutchess County Chambers of Commerce, Rotary Club, SUNY New Paltz alumni network), and word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients. The firm's 30+ year operating history encompasses more than 300 completed projects spanning multi-million-dollar hotels and resorts, commercial offices, healthcare facilities, religious institutions, municipal buildings, and custom residences.
