Schwartz/Silver Architects is a U.S.-based architecture and planning practice with an open studio in downtown Boston that emphasizes collaborative design with clients. The firm works with academic institutions, libraries, museums, public agencies, and private individuals, handling new construction, renovations, and planning studies, often integrating contemporary work with historically significant buildings. Its approach begins with researching the project’s environment and human needs, using that understanding to test ideas in partnership with clients who participate deeply in the process. The firm has earned recognition through national and regional awards for its projects. In May 2026, Kkaa partnered with Schwartz/Silver Architects on a project that includes a new 3,716-square-metre museum building designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates in collaboration with Schwartz/Silver. Based in Boston, the firm operates as a small to mid-sized practice within the architecture and planning industry, focusing on collaborative, site-responsive design.
