Elkus Manfredi Architects, founded in 1988 by Howard F. Elkus and David P. Manfredi, is a Boston-based design firm known for its work in architecture, urban design, and interior architecture. The firm has been involved in several high-profile projects, including The Grove in Los Angeles, Boston’s Fenway neighborhood revitalization, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
The firm has received numerous awards, such as the International Residential Award from Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum in 2023. However, not all of their projects have been without controversy. For instance, their 200 Amsterdam project in New York faced legal challenges and community opposition, resulting in a court order to reduce the building’s height by 20 stories.
