Back to the 2014 AD100 List

A fluent and nimble classicist, Manhattan architect Peter Pennoyer possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of pediments and porticoes, balustrades and bolections. Such tried-and-true details are fundamental to his distinguished—primarily residential—portfolio, which ranges from a Shingle Style manse in Maine to an elegantly updated Beaux Arts townhouse in New York City. “By mastering the interpretation of historical architecture, my colleagues and I seek to create designs that are singularly modern,” notes Pennoyer, who currently serves as the chairman for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. An accomplished author, he has cowritten monographs on Warren & Wetmore, Delano & Aldrich, and Grosvenor Atterbury, patrician firms that he deeply admires and whose legacies he compellingly carries forward. ppapcom
