Samuel G. White has practiced architecture since 1974. His diverse portfolio of educational, institutional, and residential projects focuses on designs that introduce new interventions to historic settings in ways that both reinforce and reinterpret their contexts.

Mr. White’s recently completed work includes a new Net-Zero Energy dormitory for the Center for Development Economics at Williams College, expansion of Saint David’s School in New York City, the restoration of the cast iron facades of 462 Broadway, the rehabilitation of the historic Bay Head Yacht Club in New Jersey, and the restoration of the 1889 John Dwight townhouse at 31 Mount Morris Park West. Previous projects include Poly Prep Lower School in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which was the first LEED-Certified school in New York City, the Dana Discovery Center on the Harlem Meer in Central Park, and the adaptive reuse of Duane Library at Fordham University. His designs for 462 Broadway, Poly Prep Lower School and Duane Library, and the Dwight townhouse have each been recipients of the prestigious Lucy G. Moses Preservation Award from the New York Landmarks Conservancy.

His current projects include a new house on the East End of Long Island and the renovation of an 1884 McKim, Mead & White townhouse in Manhattan.
