Founded in 2003 by partners Ben Pell and Tate Overton, PellOverton Architects is a nationally recognized, award-winning firm with offices in New York City and Providence, Rhode Island. We bring creative design and project leadership to a wide range of educational, nonprofit, commercial, and residential clients throughout the New York metro area and New England.
Partnering with people
We value the partnerships we create with our clients and colleagues. We begin each relationship by understanding the unique context of the project—from the specifics of a building or site to the everyday lives of its future inhabitants. Our role is to guide the conversation and translate collective ideas into spaces and materials that are both purposeful and personal.
PellOverton Architects provides services at all stages of a project, from site search and programming through design, permitting, and construction. Together with an experienced staff, Ben and Tate are hands-on throughout the process, ensuring high-touch attention to every project.
