PEASLEE ARCHITECT. P.C.

Current Company Leadership

Stuart D. Peaslee, RA AIA, NCARB is a licensed architect. He currently resides on rural New England where he continues to grow and practice his expertise.

He now even offers architecture consulting services for clientele in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island and Hawaii. He is also a licensed Contractor in NYC.

Like a tree’s natural growth, the art of designing and making buildings begins from a foundational seed and evolves with dedication and time. Stuart’s career started the same way. Coming from a family of builders, he apprenticed for different construction and forestry trades in 1969, eventually leading to journeyman status and more hands-on experience. He then was fortunate enough to obtain a formal education in sculpture and architecture, laying the groundwork to take his career to the next level.

His robust work ethic, education of merit, and creative curiosity mirrors resulted in a unique combination of skills, experience, and knowledge similar to those of master builders and architects. Over time, demand for services from these industry professionals evolved into what we now know as design-build or integrated projects. Following his apprenticeships and formal studies, Stuart chose to stay in New York City and dedicate his time and energy to becoming a world-class architect.

Before Stuart opened his own architecture firm in 1994, he graduated cum laude with a BFA degree in Sculpture from the University of Connecticut and earned a master’s degree in Architecture at Washington University in St. Louis. He then had apprenticeships at the International Union of Operating Engineers, A.F. Peaslee, Inc., Dave Wacker Logging, Inc., Robert Lamb Hart Architects & Planners, and under sculptor and woodworker Toshio Odate.

More Client Testimonials

“Stuart Peaslee has been a bright light and reverent force of nature since our first meeting at my home in East Haddam where we discussed a sunroom I wished built in the back of my home on a bird sanctuary. Upon first glance, I was thrilled with his warmth, enthusiasm, and positive energy. He was both patient and delighted to hear all of my plans and ideas. He fielded every query I voiced and offered suggestions that were more expansive than my own. I was shocked at how collaborative and quick thinking he was. We finished our initial meeting with plans for materials to be emailed the next detailing his work model and ethic. Stuart’s materials explained the whole process of his approach to the work. “The Peaslee Method Since 1923” embraced all factions of the process from start, or artistic engineering of my requests, into his architectural vision. The next two meetings solidified my expectations, budget, timeline and feasibility. In a short week’s time, I received three designs that were fabulous! The one I chose to build had a rooftop deck above the sunroom and was accessed by building a dormer on the second floor from my office. I have done many design projects but never had any been so “out of the box” as this. Stuart is a treasure! His talent easy manner, true love of architecture, and deep respect for each person and project he embraces makes him unique and a joy to work with. Respectfully submitted, Rosemary Poole, East Haddam, CT”

“Stuart helped guide me through a large first time construction project, both from an architectural standpoint as well as a construction/contractor standpoint. He is creative, resourceful, practical and most important a fantastic collaborator that makes the difficult process of building much easier. In addition to the large construction project, he also helped on smaller projects which included designing, sourcing and building a new storefront at our cinema in Williamsburg. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

— Matthew Viragh, Brooklyn, NY

“Stuart, did an awesome design and then had an awesome team handle the construction end of the project. He is a first class architect.”

— John Spellmon, New York, NY

“We hired Stuart to renovate our kitchen in our NY apartment and gave him pretty much free reign since we live in Boston and weren’t able to supervise closely. He did a wonderful job – we comment every time we are in New York about how fortunate we were to find him. He listened to what we wanted, siggested extra touches we wouldn’t have thought of – and the outcome was perfect. Recommend him highly.”

— Jill Preotle, New York, NY

“As a Project Manager in NYC for 25 years, I have worked with Stuart for a long time and he knows construction literally from the ground up. His design is imaginative, he understands materials, and his finishes are thorough. Moreover, his integrity is flawless. I would recommend him for any project large or small.”

— Craig Laitta, New York, NY
