Patriquin Architects is a New Haven-based team of architects and designers working across Connecticut and the United States on various new buildings and transformations of existing spaces. Established in 2010, the office has expertise in numerous institutional, educational, commercial, and residential project typologies. We have been recognized across the industry for exceptional achievements in design and sustainability and are leaders in advancing equity, diversity, and justice issues in the design and construction industry. We are community architects with strong ties to our historic, Passive House-certified office building at 20 Grand Avenue, the oldest freestanding commercial building in the city, built in 1816. In collaboration with our clients, engineering consultants, and construction partners, we create successful and lasting designs for the public good.

Patriquin Architects is a Woman-Owned Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) registered with the State of CT's Department of Administrative Services. We are proud winners of AIA-CT's Small Firm Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Challenge Award and have taken on the AIA Materials Pledge.

Recognition

About Karin Patriquin:

“As a practitioner, Karin Patriquin displays a unique blend of strong design skills, intentional firm leadership, and an outward orientation towards her broader community. Karin’s design portfolio displays an enthusiasm for modern forms, new technologies, and consideration of the end user. This is balanced with thoughtfulness towards the architectural context in which she practices – specifically, Connecticut’s historic and environmental landscapes."

-AIA Connecticut 2020 Women in Architecture Award

About Slate Upper School: 

“The design celebrates mass timber and skillfully balances light and dark interior spaces. Clear attention to the Framework for Design Excellence supports a holistic sustainability approach, emphasizing natural and bio-based materials while substantially reducing energy use.”

- AIA Connecticut 2025 Sustainable Award of Excellence

About Saint Mary Place: 

“Affordable housing has become a real crisis in Connecticut, but this project shows that affordable projects can use historic buildings and achieve a level of finish and quality not often possible in new construction.”

-AIA Connecticut 2021 Elizabeth Mills Brown Award of Excellence

About Roìa Restaurant: 

"This preservation and restoration project brings back the feel of the original space leaving traces of the renovations behind with clues in the flooring… It creates a wonderful feeling of being in an historic place where the passage of time is not only noted but celebrated."

-AIA Connecticut 2020 Elizabeth Mills Brown Award of Excellence 

About King’s Block: 

 “King’s Block is a thoughtful project which is notable due to its retrofit approach: to construct an entirely new envelope within the historic building’s shell. Fantastic achievement in PHIUS+ certification and dramatic EUI reduction for a retrofit project.”

-AIA Connecticut 2023 Sustainable Award of Excellence
