Specht Harpman was founded in 1995 by partners Scott Specht and Louise Harpman, who began working together while classmates at the Yale School of Architecture. A small company with rigorous standards for modern design, the firm's award-winning work includes commercial, institutional, and residential projects, as well as custom furniture. The firm maintains offices in New York City and Austin, Texas.
The firm was recently named as one of the “Tastemakers of 2007” by House and Garden Magazine, and were included in New York Magazine’s list of New York City's "Top 100" architects. Specht and Harpman were named Emerging Voices by the Architectural League of New York in the organization's competition for 2002, and were named as Finalists in the annual PS1/MoMA competition for Young Architects. Their work was also featured as part of the inaugural MoMA/QNS opening exhibition. The firm has been honored with a number of design awards, including those from the New York AIA (American Institute of Architects), and two Design Distinction awards from I.D. Magazine. Cited for its "fresh" approach and "rigorous design principles," Specht Harpman was nominated for the international Daimler Chrysler award.
