James Seger AIA, LEED ap

Partner

As an architect practicing in New York City for over 30 years, James Seger has a keen appreciation for the city as an ever-evolving organism, full of opportunity but also in need of caretaking.  He focuses on helping non-profit cultural, educational and religious organizations further their missions through architecture that both inspires its occupants and gives something back to the community.

Through his work on such venerable buildings as the Park Avenue Armory, the William Goadby Lowe mansion for the Spence School, and Powerhouse Arts, Jim has explored ways that adaptive reuse of buildings can maintain the cultural richness of NYC’s neighborhoods while infusing contemporary uses to maintain their vibrancy. 

His portfolio also features new buildings, contemporary additions, and renovations, each responding to the unique needs and sensibilities of their users while engaging and complementing their contexts.  His new work includes an Aquatic Center at Riverdale Country School, a flagship health club for Equinox at Hudson Yards, and new corporate offices and production space for a non-profit media company.

Jim earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the Mississippi State University School of Architecture. He is a member of the American Institute of Architects, A LEED Accredited Professional, a registered architect in New York and New Jersey, and has served as visiting lecturer and critic at the New York Institute of Technology.
