RAMSA connects people to history, culture, and place through design.
RAMSA (Robert A.M. Stern Architects) is a global architectural design firm based in New York City. We deliver exceptional work at every scale—from timeless buildings to inspiring interiors, insightful planning frameworks, and elegant products.
Founded in 1969 by Robert A.M. Stern, our practice is built on the belief that design is a dialogue between memory and invention—a bridge between what is, and what could be. Every place has a unique history and character, and no single style can express them all. With artistry and scholarship, we create designs that enrich their surroundings, solve modern challenges, and set a new standard for design excellence.
As the world continues to evolve, our research-driven practice delivers lasting cultural and economic value for our clients and communities. Our greatest strength lies in our curiosity, creativity, uncompromising standards of excellence, and the exceptional talent of our people.
