Russell DeRosa first established Russell DeRosa Architecture in 2001 as a full service architecture firm inspired by the passion and commitment of Russell DeRosa. Under his leadership, the firm is now been renamed and established as the DeRosa Group PC, in response to increasing size and diversity of the firm’s work. The office has completed a wide variety of projects including adaptive reuse, urban design studies, corporate office interiors and multi family housing in New York City, Newark, NJ and the surrounding areas. The firm is particularly skilled in assisting clients through the early stages of projects by providing master planning, programming, space planning and feasibility studies.
The DeRosa Group brings to each project a number of special strengths, including principal participation, project management, pre-design and programming, sensitivity to context and history and potential site development.
