Firm history

Founded in 1952 in New York by Sam Brody, Lew Davis, and Chester Wisniewski, Davis, Brody and Wisniewski (now Davis, Brody, and Bond) rose to note by realizing well designed social housing for New York City, such as Waterside Plaza.[12][13][14] While the firm has expanded far beyond its original boundaries, the legacy of quality New York City work to the benefit of New Yorkers is still a keystone of the firm's design philosophy. After J. Max Bond, Jr. joined the partnership in 1990,.[15] the firm became Davis Brody Bond in 1996.[2] From 2006 - 2011 Davis Brody Bond was in partnership with Aedas. In 2010 Davis Brody Bond took an ownership interest in the architectural and interiors firm Spacesmith, a certified Women's Business Enterprise;[16] the firms are housed together within the same office in New York.[1]
