Principal Bios

John J Olivieri (1956-1999)
Founder
Stone Harbor, New Jersey

Our founder, John Olivieri, started our company designing beach houses on a drafting board in his garage. As more commissions came, the firm grew into offices in Cherry Hill and later Collingswood. Joined by partners Paul Kiss in 1986 and Dan Shousky in 1987, John evolved the firm into a regionally well known group with areas of expertise in shore and vacation homes, country estates, historic restorations and individually designed customized commercial work in banks, office buildings, and car dealerships.

John imbued in all of us a sense of integrity, good design and commitment to our clientele, which insured a loyal following and corporate culture which remains strong today. John passed away at the age of 43 after a long bout with cancer.
