History

The firm of Serena Sturm Architects began in 1983 as a two-person operation—a partnership between Marty Serena and Bill Sturm. In 1993, Serena Sturm Architects successfully merged with Prisco Design Associates. The firm became Prisco Serena Sturm Architects with Guy Prisco joining Marty and Bill as principals in the firm. In 2003, with the retirement of Guy Prisco, the firm became once more Serena Sturm Architects.

From the firm’s beginnings, both Marty and Bill professed a strong belief in the theory of sustainability. They believe that buildings should be designed and built to work in harmony with its surrounding environment. Throughout the firm’s history, we have delivered creative ideas and solutions to a variety of clients—our project experience is diverse, spanning religious, educational, recreational, institutional, municipal, residential and corporate projects. The fundamental purpose of the firm, now and then, is to provide exceptional, sustainable architecture in a timely and cost-effective manner.
