Esocoff Associates + Weinstein Studio is a Washington DC based architectural firm with a distinguished reputation for its expertise in residential, institutional, commercial, and government design. The firm was founded by Philip Esocoff, FAIA, in 1995 for the pursuit of excellence in design for higher education and residential projects. In 2008, Amy Weinstein, FAIA, joined the firm, merging her award winning practice with Esocoff & Associates as Weinstein Studio. Located in downtown Washington DC, the firm is focused on the particular challenges of designing within the region’s unique urban design and its historic and cultural context. Current projects include embassy housing in Washington DC, a 500,000 sf Mixed Use Development in Capitol Hill, the urban design of a 7 acre L’Enfant Plan square, and several urban multi-family residential projects.
The firm’s work has received more than 60 design awards and has been published nationally and internationally in architectural journals. The office’s portfolio, well over $2 billion in construction value, includes the design of over 6,000 multi-family residential units, complex mixed-use urban projects, and notable higher education facilities. The firm is skilled in guiding complex projects through local and federal design review processes, and is well respected by the public sector officials engaged in those reviews. Appreciation of the firm’s attention to detail and craftsmanship is often noted in journals and publications, as well as by the contractors who build the projects and the people who live, work, and learn in the buildings.
