Thomas Phifer and Partners

Timeless modernism might sound oxymoronic and yet the work of Phifer and partners is most aptly described in this way. Great buildings of any style achieve their stature through a clear demonstration of the principals of proportion, composition, balance as coupled with that oh-so-essential spark of life, without which all the rest will fail. In Phifer's work we see these things harmoniously joined, whether it be in the breathtaking Salt Point House in New York, the refined North Carolina Museum of Art, or the elevated Salt Lake City Courthouse.
