Landow and Landow Architects commemorates 100th anniversary

March 22, 2022 - Front Section

New York, NY With a legacy dating back to 1922 when Abraham Landow founded his eponymous architectural firm, award-winning Landow and Landow Architects has excelled, expanded, and flourished for one hundred years. Currently led by a third generation of acclaimed architects, siblings Marc J. Landow, AIA, NCARB; Robin Landow, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP; and Glen J. Landow, AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, all of whom received their Master’s Degrees in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, the firm has built upon its humble beginnings designing mid-sized apartment buildings in Brooklyn to creating notable projects in the healthcare, education, corporate, office interiors, retail, senior care, worship, community, and luxury residential sectors. While often designing the interiors for the majority of their projects, in 1993, the firm formally launched an interior design division as part of its full-service commitment.

“Our grandfather was an inspiration for so many, with an indomitable spirit and keen sense of purpose,” says Marc Landow. “And it was our father, Lloyd Landow, who instilled in us a love for design that is creative and innovative with respect for a project’s budget.” 

Robin Landow said, “In 1965, a few years after our father joined the firm, New York State passed a law prohibiting ‘mom and pop’ nursing homes, which had been traditionally operated out of private homes. Together, our father and grandfather embarked on a plan to procure senior care commissions that would meet the needs of an aging population. They were among the first to specialize in senior and healthcare projects and quickly garnered a reputation for their sensitively-designed facilities.”  

Among the notable senior and healthcare projects for which Landow and Landow Architects has been recognized over the years are the Sayville Nursing Home, Opti-Healthcare Diagnostic and Treatment Clinics, Gurwin Jewish Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Shorefront Jewish Geriatric Center, Shorefront Towers, Cabrini of Westchester, Cabrini Apartments, and Menorah Home and Hospital.

The firm’s range in educational facilities includes the award-winning British International School of New York, Slifka Center for Jewish Life at Yale University, and SUNY Maritime College Seamanship Center. 

On the commercial side, Landow and Landow Architects is credited with designing William Greenberg Jr. Desserts on Madison Avenue and at Hudson Yards; multiple retail shops nationwide; and more than 250 projects Citibank, including the award-winning, first-of-its-kind freestanding banking kiosk. Its many interior design projects also include corporate offices, law firms, financial institutions, and technology companies.
