Lasting beauty is the key. We would like to believe that everything we design and build will last well into the future. In a world accustomed to cheap and disposable, it feels extraordinary when something is built to last. We believe that "built to last" should not be extraordinary, but standard. We envision the continual evolution of design to create buildings in harmony with their surroundings.
As a child, I spent weekends on construction sites. When my grandparents built their dream home, I spent almost every weekend with my grandfather on site. I built Alfandre Architecture to make people happy and to help them realize their dreams and visions.

Services
Alfandre Architecture offers a broad spectrum of stand alone services to address all phases of commercial and residential design and construction. High Performance Green Buildings save money over time through low operations and maintenance costs. Let us design a space that fits your business goals and allows you to work more productively.
The design, the layout, the form, the light, and the overall atmosphere are all aspects that contribute to the great experience of working in your building. With the right team in place, you will have a space that fits your business goals and allows you to work more productively. This will save you money and support the long-term health and well-being of your staff and your customers.
What you're picturing can become reality when you hire the right residential architect to make it happen. Building a custom home can be extremely rewarding, but at the outset it can be very intimidating. It will likely be the biggest project - and expense - you will ever undertake. There will be many decisions to make, from layout to building materials to final decorating finishes.
Get a healthier, high-performance building that will save you money and serve your needs - without harming the environment. Sustainable design is all about a holistic approach to planning for future generations on our Earth. Buildings that are poorly designed, cheaply built and badly insulated will require massive amounts of non-renewable fossil fuels to keep them habitable.

Alfrandre Architecture is quite simply: THE BEST!
I first connected with Alfandre Architecture in behalf of the Board of Directors at the Rosendale Theatre Collective. At the time, the theatre was considering a renovation of our 100+ year old landmark theater. We interviewed 5 architects in the area and out of NYC. (BTW-Alfandre Architecture had designed the theatre facade a few years back and they did an excellent job. We were very happy with the work which is saying a lot as we have a diverse board with many different points of view.)
Rick Alfandre and his team were by far the most impressive

Christ the King Episcopal Church in Stone Ridge, NY has been working with Alfandre Architecture for over 3 years as we've worked to bring an extensive renovation project to fruition. They have helped us to refine our vision and after the pandemic hit, they organized a complete re-bidding of the work. Our project includes a state of the art professional kitchen that will qualify for Board of Health approval.Alfandre Architecture is knowledgable, easy to work with and interested in our success. I recommend them for small and large projects alike.

Alfandre Architecture is extraordinarily well versed in a wide range of sustainable architecture details. The firm helped my client in making significant development enhancements, setting the course for a far more sustainable project, build community support, and set the stage for the potential of achieving LEED certification.

We chose to work with Alfandre Associates because of their excellent reputation, attention to detail and knowledge of green building. They created a beautiful design for our addition, that will add quality of life, that incorporates our wants, needs, vision, and budget. Can’t wait to build it. Donna and Scott

We chose Alfandre Architecture to design our new home for the following reasons. Rick clearly understood and shared our aesthetic values. He collaborated with us on vision and thoughtful solutions to our needs. He helped us select the right builder for our project, and located a specialist to install our geothermal heating and cooling system. Rick believes in designing environmentally sustainable structures, and that is exactly what we wanted.
Our home is beautiful and efficient and we highly recommend Rick.

We’ve worked with Rick Alfandre for over 20 years on various projects, including the design of the original Emerson Resort & Spa, and most recently a two-year renovation. The work of Alfandre Architecture and Eco-Builders exceeds our expectations. The crew is professional, respectful and over the course of the renovation became like family. We now have a resort that is not only beautiful and reflects our surroundings, but is also functional and works to the best advantage for our guests.
