SMIROS & SMIROS was established on timeless principles of design and has spent more than three decades creating new residences, waterfront homes, restorations, and adaptations of existing houses that are both historically grounded and entirely livable. With offices in Glen Cove and Manhattan, our work extends across Long Island from Nassau to Suffolk counties, New York City, South Florida, and abroad.

Across this range of work, the firm does not begin with a predetermined style. Each project instead begins with an understanding of its setting and the way our clients seek to live. The result is architecture formed by place, purpose, and personality.

 

Even the most avant-garde contemporary architecture is rooted in timeless ideals of classical proportion and balance

Heritage

Our architecture emerges from a close reading of each setting and the traditions to which it belongs. The work ranges from Shingle Style and Tudor residences to Art Deco-inflected apartments and contemporary urban interiors. In historic restorations and adaptations, we begin by identifying the qualities that give an existing house its character. In new residences, precedent provides a living language rather than a fixed formula. Research, proportion, and regional building traditions guide the design, allowing each home to respect its context without becoming a reproduction of the past. Heritage is not simply preserved, but re-imagined for contemporary living.

Permanence

Great architecture begins with classical proportion, balance, and hierarchy so that spaces intuitively make sense even as we seamlessly integrate the highest level of modern comfort. We seek out materials not merely for their initial beauty but for their endurance and character acquired over time. Architectural details are woven into the concepts from day one, while architecture shapes movement, and interiors invite you to live within. Through landscape, we ground each project in its setting, forming a cohesive whole designed to outlast passing trends and remain meaningful for generations. Permanence comes from judgment, restraint, and the art of building well.

Dialogue

Our process begins simply by listening and taking the time to understand a client’s aspirations, daily routines, and the experience they hope to create. From there, we work side-by-side with builders, artisans, and consultants, serving as both guide and active participant while keeping the full project team aligned. We explore ideas openly and communicate decisions clearly so that the original vision survives the complexities of construction. Drawings of exceptional clarity and precision support this exchange, preserving coherence from the broadest gesture to the smallest detail. Our relationships often span decades and multiple projects, with clients and professional collaborators alike. Dialogue carries the work from first conversation to completion, sustaining the trust and shared understanding on which lasting architecture depends.
