Frisenda Architects is an architecture and design firm specializing in residential, hospitality, and amenity projects.

We love to make spaces for living, playing, relaxing and socializing.





Anthony Frisenda is a licensed architect from the Hudson Valley. After earning his Bachelor of Architecture from Pratt Institute, he worked for several large architecture firms in New York City, including Rafael Vinoly, Biber Architects and HLW.
 
As the founder of Frisenda Architects, Anthony's design philosophy begins with personal connections. Reflecting the ideals and values of the person or entity occupying the space. This results in a highly unique design catered to the personality of its occupants.






Tomás Renzulli brings creative solutions and technical expertise to the architectural designs of our firm. Based in Buenos Aires, his unique perspective and experiences add to the firm's global approach to design. After working at ODA Architecture, he joined Frisenda Architects in 2023.
