from architecture, interior design, landscape design, land use
analysis, and urban and rural planning. Phinney Design Group has
worked closely with city planning officials throughout the
development of various architectural projects from single family

development. The firm has a long track record of designing and
coordinating through construction the completion of
environmentally friendly homes, commercial offices and retail
spaces located in upstate New York.
The firm
is versed with government sponsored programs such as New York
State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (NYSERDA) New
Construction Program and New York State Green Building Tax
Credit which can provide owners with financial incentives and
rebates for incorporating energy efficient and environmentally
responsible designs into their projects.
Phinney
Design Group believes in a holistic approach to completing
projects, forming a team between the owner, architect, engineer
and builder; understanding each one’s needs and goals as
required to properly prioritize a project’s design, budget and
schedule. We pride ourselves on providing consistent
representation through all phases of the project, from
conceptual design to occupancy and believe our best form of
advertising is completing buildings that meet our clients’
requirements while enhancing the context and communities in
which they are located.
