Good People.
Great Design.
Our Practice
Arketekcher was built with flexibility and efficiency at its core. As a fully remote practice, we minimize overhead to maximize value for our clients and provide strong benefits for our team, including flexible hours and referral bonuses. A culture of trust and balance allows us to operate at our best, and ensures we remain responsive when our clients need us most.
Our Approach
Every project begins with a pencil and a blank page. We believe thoughtful design emerges from a deep understanding of project goals, context, and opportunities. Our role is to balance advocating for design solutions with serving as a design conduit for our clients and stakeholders. Functionality, simplicity, and strategic interventions drive our process, resulting in projects that are beautiful, cost-effective, and functional.
Our Clients
Our clients are as diverse as our projects. We collaborate with developers, homeowners, nonprofits, municipalities, housing authorities, restaurateurs, retailers, and even sports teams - from local Little League organizations to the NBA teams. A wide-ranging portfolio driven by a diverse clientele keeps our design thinking sharp, pushes us to the forefront of emerging trends, and fuels our curiosity.
Our Services
Arketekcher is a full-service architecture practice providing comprehensive architectural services alongside feasibility studies, zoning and code reviews, and interior design for new construction and renovations at a variety of scales. We serve as a true collaborator from concept to construction to completion, ensuring that every phase of a project is thoughtful, strategic, and well-executed.
Beyond traditional architecture, we also take on special design projects that align with our expertise and interests. These include initiatives like developing a graphic resident guide for NYCHA’s PACT renovation projects or designing store layouts and merchandising concepts for duty-free shops across the country.
Our Name
Arketekcher might look unique, but it’s as literal as it gets - the phonetic spelling of our industry: Architecture. When founding partner Michael Bevivino was in school, his class took part in an experiment testing whether kids could learn to spell more effectively through phonetic spellings. Needless to say, the hypothesis didn’t hold up, and now Michael is a terrible speller. Good thing he’s a great Arketekt… uh, Architect!
Our name is both a nod to this history and a reflection of our values. Just like phonetic spelling, we believe in clarity, transparency, and a straightforward approach to design. What you see is what you get, no pretense, just hard work and great collaboration.
Let’s create something great!
