Two leading New York international architectural-design houses are underway with a merger that they say will yield an expansion of their combined Connecticut practices.
Perkins Eastman, which has a Stamford office, and Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects (EE&K), which designed the Stamford Courthouse, announced their merger earlier this month. The merger will create a firm with nearly 600 employees and consolidate their New York, Washington D.C. and China practices
Financial terms of the merger have not been disclosed.
On Tuesday, the firms said the merger also will complement both firms’ Connecticut design portfolios conducted in Stamford.
Aside from the courthouse, completed in 2002, EE&K also is known in the state for designing the Bridgeport Waterfront Development, a mixed use project on the former Remington Rayovac factory site on Long Island Sound.
