ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – A Rockland County based firm ranks second among the top architects with projects in New York City. Aufgang Architects with headquarters in Suffern had new projects totaling 3,299,418 square feet in New York City which placed it in the number two spot in 2024 among all architects.

“We saw demand increase for our designs across a spectrum of development projects–market-rate multifamily, office conversions into housing and ground up affordable housing, as developers increasingly utilized new abatements and affordability programs,” Aufgang principal Ariel Aufgang said.

The ranking of top architectural firms was compiled by The Real Deal based on permits filed with the NYC Department of Buildings.

“In the past 22 years Aufgang Architects has designed more than 22 million square feet of built space including over 14,000 units of affordable housing,” said Aufgang.

The firm’s recent major projects include urban planning and designs of the first two multifamily buildings at Edgemere Commons, a 9.1 acre site in Far Rockaway, Queens, where a total of 2,050 affordable units are being developed.

“Our firm also designed the recent conversion of the former JFK Airport Hilton Hotel into 318 units of permanent, supportive and affordable housing in South Jamaica, Queens,” said Aufgang.

“In addition to our growing urban planning and engineering work, we expanded our business last year with the addition of Aurae, our new subsidiary specializing in bespoke designs for luxury lifestyles,” said Aufgang.

Since its establishment in 1971, Aufgang Architects has become known for its thoughtful, creative approach while also recognizing the importance of environmental sustainability in all aspects of design and engineering. Technology, including innovative proprietary artificial intelligence applications, enhances the firm’s approach to creating comfortable, safe and sustainable buildings as it strives to provide high quality, cost-effective and marketable design solutions to meet its clients’ objectives.

Expert Tips to Refresh Your Garden for the Rest of Summer

After weeks of summer heat and frequent rain, many gardens across Rockland County, Bergen County and the Hudson Valley are beginning to show signs of stress. Fortunately, a few simple maintenance steps can help restore color and keep landscapes looking their best through late summer and into fall.

The gardening experts at Down to Earth Living Garden Center in Pomona recommend removing spent flowers to encourage new blooms, feeding flowering plants with a bloom booster fertilizer, and pruning spring-flowering shrubs that have already finished blooming.

For an instant burst of color, consider adding late-season favorites like Black-Eyed Susans, zinnias, hydrangeas and fresh hanging baskets. Gardeners are also encouraged to plant milkweed, an essential plant for monarch butterflies, and provide a shallow water source for birds, butterflies and bees during hot weather.

Containers and hanging baskets should be checked frequently, as they often require extra watering during periods of intense heat. If plants have reached the end of their flowering season, replacing them with fresh blooms can quickly brighten outdoor spaces.

With summer sales underway, it’s also a great time to update patios and backyards with discounted outdoor furniture, umbrellas, décor and statuary.

Down to Earth Living Garden Center also offers personalized gardening advice. Customers are encouraged to bring photos or inspiration for their outdoor spaces, and the center’s team can help select the right plants, containers and décor. The garden center’s expanded indoor plant showroom is open for the season, and free repotting is available with the purchase of any plant or pot.
