Amie Gross

Amie Gross AIA founded Amie Gross Architects in 1984 with the conviction that people
of all walks deserve well-crafted architecture. With over forty-five years of
multidisciplinary work, Ms. Gross has championed the causes of diversity, community
alliance, and direct engagement with urban policy.

Ms. Gross is often asked to speak about her experience as an architect and the ways in
which architecture contributes to the built environment. She has discussed, among
many other things, how the built environment of supportive housing in New Jersey
affects the clients’ sense of wellbeing; strategies for reducing the costs of affordable
housing through careful construction planning; and how to offer sustainable design at a
low cost. Her approach is exemplified in her TEDx talk, “Seeding Community.” Ms.
Gross’s approach has suffused the firm she founded with a culture of respect and
appreciation of the communities in which it works.
​
A native New Yorker, Ms. Gross graduated from the Washington University School of
Architecture in St. Louis, from which she received the Distinguished Alumni Award.
Amie Gross is a registered architect in New York and New Jersey, and is certified by NCARB.
