The Architect

In January of 2022, It became ‘The Architect LLC’ when Manuel Ortiz became part owner of the firm. Bruce Glass has been practicing in Garden City for 46 years and been associated as a partner with firms in Garden City for 40 years. Manuel Joined The Architect in Feb. 2014, and had worked with Bruce on projects 10 years prior to that. Both have played key roles in the successful design and construc

tion of numerous new and renovation projects, including civic, educational, recreational, health care, private commercial and historic restoration and renovations. The Architect’s approach to design of successful buildings is simple. First and foremost, listen to what the Owner wants and needs, ask questions to clarify specific requirements and actively involve engineering consultants and Construction Managers in the design process to achieve the best possible solution for this particular project and within the project’s Program and budget. All work is drawn in current AutoCad Architectural Desktop or Revit, and is capable of utilizing all current design standards. Staffing at ‘The Architect’ is work load dependent. We currently have one registered Architect, one full-time designer / project manager and one part time office/clerical staff. All work is drawn in current AutoCad 3-D Revit, and is capable of utilizing all current design standards.
