Grater Architects

Grater Architects, P.C. is a AIA registered, LEED accredited design firm with offices in Clayton and Rochester, New York. We provide architectural services throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northern regions, specializing in custom single family residential, institutional, and commercial projects. Our team of architects, led by William Grater, Diana Pardee Grater, and Sanford Kraemer, combines their diverse backgrounds to deliver high-quality architectural designs.

Our design process emphasizes the importance of programmatic requirements, context, and construction methods. We analyze each site regarding its natural and historical character, making critical design decisions based on this understanding. This approach results in inspired, useful, and well-crafted spaces that balance practicality with an adventurous design spirit. We offer complete services, maintaining personal contact throughout the project, from modest to complex projects.
