Principals ALAN G. ROSE, A. I. A.                                                                            The primary goal that Mr. Rose has established for ARCT is to understand the  problems and needs of the client and, working closely with the client, to  accommodate those needs with a physical solution through cost effective  design.  Before co-founding ARCT Architecture with Carmen Tagle in 1986, Mr. Rose  had been a principal with Stephen B. Jacobs and Associates. His extensive  experience with residential developments and adaptive reuse has led to several commissions for ARCT, including the recycling of the Dietz Coalyard in  Ridgewood, New York into Glenridge Mews, an innovative award winning  residential complex of sixty-five apartment units, Other projects include a low  cost seventy-three unit planned residential development in Vineland, New  Jersey, the complete interior refurbishing of twelve floors of a major non-profit  New York City nursing home, the adaptive reuse of an existing factory building  in Astoria, Queens to a shopping center, the design of several medical office  suites, and many custom residences. More recently, ARCT was selected as  architect for the renovation Devonshire House; a 1928 Emery Roth designed  apartment building in which smaller apartments are being combined to create  larger units that meet the demand of today’s larger urban families.
