Morris Adjmi Architects is a New York City-based architecture and interior design firm that provides design services to corporate, commercial and residential clients. Background The company was founded by Morris Adjmi (FAIA), a New Orleans native who began his career after obtaining his Masters of Architecture degree from Tulane University. In 1981 Adjmi began working with the Italian architect Aldo Rossi and, in 1986, the two jointly opened Studio di Architettura in New York City. They collaborated on numerous international projects including the Hotel Il Palazzo in Fukuoka, Japan, Disney’s Celebration Office Complex in Orlando, Florida, the American Broadcasting Company Headquarters in Burbank, and the Scholastic Corporation headquarters in New York City. Adjmi has edited two books on Aldo Rossi's life and work. After the death of Rossi in 1997, Adjmi established his own design firm, Morris Adjmi Architects, also known as MA. The NYC-based firm design buildings that are contextual but distinctly contemporary, with modernist underpinnings. Their work is known for its thoughtful engagement with historic context, industrial aesthetic, and creative use of materials. From the firm's inception, they have had particular success working in historic and post-industrial districts. Many of their designs also feature thoughtfully integrated sustainable elements, such as green roofs, repurposed materials, living walls. MA's work is often influenced by specific artists, such as Rachel Whiteread's influence on the design of the facade of 83 Walker Street. Because of this focus, the firm has created an impressive art program.

In 2010, the firm completed two buildings for the NYU School of Law, one of which included the restoration of the historic Provincetown Playhouse. The firm also has several projects based in the Historic Gansevoort Market District (better known as the Meatpacking District), including a $55 million building that sits directly over the High Line Elevated Park at the intersection of 14th Street. Other projects in Manhattan include buildings in Tribeca, SoHo, and the Ladies' Mile Historic District. MA has also completed several commercial buildings and hotels in Florida, including Celebration Place in Celebration, Florida, as well as a residential development in Albany, New Providence, Bahamas.
