Christina Seilern AIA ARB RIBA SBA Principal Christina Seilern established London-based creative practice Studio Seilern Architects in 2006. Applying her unique style across a range of building typologies, geographies and scales she re-engages in an approach that carefully addresses each project from an in-depth consideration of the detail to the overall massing strategy. She tackles a range of projects from large scale city master plans, down to the more intricate scale of furniture and light fitting design, both the emerging and developed markets.
Jay Bargmann FAIA Vice President Jay Bargmann is Vice President of Studio Seilern Architects, where he oversees the delivery of the firm’s projects. Previously, he was Managing Principal of Rafael Viñoly Architects, which he cofounded with Rafael Viñoly in 1983. The firm gained international recognition for its work across cultural, educational, healthcare, transportation, residential, and commercial projects. Following Viñoly’s death, Bargmann joined Studio Seilern Architects USA. 3
