SYNAGOGUE ARCHITECTURE

My name is Joel Ives and I am a member of JBN in NJ and we host a meeting at our Fair Lawn office every month.  I am also the owner of The Ives Architecture Studio.  We are a diversified architectural firm licensed in many states with a specialty in synagogue design.  I formed the company in 1979 and possess one of the largest collections of books on synagogue design in the world.

My best networking is with congregations planning to build or renovate.  My local JBN connections are very important to me, but since my potential clients are thinly spread out all over the US, I am reaching out beyond the boundaries of NJ to other markets.  I am asking you to keep our firm in mind as you get into new projects.  The service we offer is quite unique, which also explains why it is a challenge to find clients.  You can learn more about us on our web page, www.ives-arch.com, and we would be happy to forward you a brochure highlighting synagogue projects upon request.

We look at a synagogue project as not just another assignment in our office, but as a higher calling.  We look forward to hear from JBN members about their synagogue projects.
