Our architecture and interior departments work collectively or independently with outside partners. We collaborate with our clients, craftsmen and colleagues to produce personalized living environments as well as the occasional public building that receives the same level of intimate detail. Since 1989, we’ve designed buildings across the country and around the world. Our two offices in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area enable us to serve clients smoothly from coast to coast and beyond. In both locations, we realize our projects through traditional handicraft and cutting-edge processes. Structures are imagined in impressionistic watercolors and communicated through sketches; they are also digitally rendered and designed using the latest technologies, including our in-house 3D printer and Virtual Reality renderings . From these initial designs through construction, we focus on selecting the best materials. Enduring material integrity is a hallmark of our work. We have been fortunate to receive numerous awards, including the AIA New York Chapter Award, the DDB Stars of Design Award, the ICAA Julia Morgan Award and the ICAA Stanford White Award, as well as participating in the AD100 since 1995. In 2010, the Monacelli Press published our first monograph, Ike Kligerman Barkley: Houses; our second book with the publisher, The New Shingled House, debuted October 2015. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Building Design - Home Remodeling - Custom Homes - House Plans - New Home Construction - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Kitchen Remodeling - Sustainable Design - Energy-Efficient Homes - Floor Plans - 3D Rendering - Bathroom Design - Green Building - Space Planning - Universal Design - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Site Preparation - 3D Home Design - Interior Design - Remodeling ### Areas Served - New York City - Manhattan - Eastchester - Harrison - Inwood - Newark - Fairview - Pelham Manor - Lodi - Belleville - Bayonne - Borough of Bronx - Cliffside Park - Clifton - East Newark - East Rutherford - Edgewater - Elmwood Park - Englewood - Fort Lee - Ft Lee - Garfield - Guttenberg - Hackensack - Hasbrouck Heights - Hoboken - Jersey City - Kearny - Leonia - Little Ferry - Lyndhurst - Maywood - North Arlington - North Bergen - Nutley - Palisades Park - Passaic - Paterson - Ridgefield - Ridgefield Park - Rutherford - Saddle Brook - Secaucus - Teaneck - Teterboro - Union City - Wallington - Weehawken - West New York - Wood-Ridge ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Ike Kligerman Barkley | | Address | 330 W 42nd Street 11th Fl, New York, New York 10036, United States | | Phone | (212) 268-0128 | | Website | http://www.ikekligermanbarkley.com | | Followers on Houzz | 1242 | **Social profiles:** - Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ike-Kligerman-Barkley-Architects-PC/141556679233490 - X (Twitter) — https://twitter.com/IKBtweets - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/company/2954254?trk=tyah - Blog — ikekligermanbarkley.com ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Ike Kligerman Barkley](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/ike-kligerman-barkley-pfvwus-pf~1635897011) - **Website:** http://www.ikekligermanbarkley.com - **Phone:** (212) 268-0128 ## Credentials - **Best of Houzz:** 7 awards (2013–2019), for Design. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 3 reviews** ### All 3 reviews **★★★★★ — Deborah Leamann, Sept. 2014** > Working with the firm of Ike, Kligerman, Barkley is an exceptional experience. The creative process along with the depth of knowledge on how to navigate the complex waters the architectural world can deliver is exemplary. Connecting with the client and being very interior designer friendly completes the package. > I am working on a second project with IKBA at this time. All of the planning and meeting of deadline's has been a fluid process. It is with great confidence and respect that I write this review. **★★★★★ — Dynamic Architectural Windows & Doors, Feb. 2014** > Having worked with IKBA's east and west coast offices over the years, Dynamic is proud of our past and current association with this great architectural firm. For us to pass comment on the firms capabilities or professionalism seems redundant, their architectural legacy is its own testimony. Suffice to say we welcome any opportunity to work with IKBA and hope to do so on many more occasions in the future. Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Morgan-Keefe Builders, Inc., April 2013** > We at Morgan-Keefe have been very fortunate to work specifically with Tom Kligerman of IKB in building two wonderful homes for clients in the South Carolina area. > > Tom's attention to detail and the creativeness to the end has made both projects a great success. > > This firm is internationally recognized and we look forward to another project in the future! ## Selected projects - [Point Loma Casita](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/point-loma-casita-pj-vj~1517443) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: Originally built in 1945 on Point Loma by a naval officer, John Ike's second home is a two level flat-roofed structure with a charmingly eccentric floor plan and massing. Adding upper and lower decks, installing massive windows and raising the ceiling in the living room, our renovation was aimed at creating as much outdoor space as possible and modifying the interiors so that the two communicated freely. The interior design is governed by colorful artwork and a mix of midcentury modern pieces. - [Overlook House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/overlook-house-pj-vj~1517551) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Sitting on a point overlooking the Atlantic - this upside down house is an exercise in restraint. The roof and courtyard allow for bright public rooms above. The bedrooms below are private and cool with their own discreet access to the landscape. - [Woodland Ramble](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodland-ramble-pj-vj~29281) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - Description: Set in a clearing in the Connecticut countryside, three simple shingled volumes are casually grouped to form a composition evocative of a traditional New England Farmhouse. Keeping with the sensibilities of the owners, the interiors are decidedly modern, pared down to spare containers. The simply detailed exteriors make use of large banks of windows to further this modern sensibility, while relying on the tried and true virtues of traditional detailing. - [Nantucket Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/nantucket-beach-house-pj-vj~1003497) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: This Nantucket beach house maintains the integrity of the region's shingle style architecture while providing a young family with a fresh space that evokes the relaxation of a summer retreat. The balance of modern and traditional design elements creates a harmonious backdrop for an expert mix of artisan woodwork and cozy upholstery throughout. Exposed ceiling beams and hardwood floors provide rhythm and unity from one room to the next, while vintage-style light fixtures and custom textiles add a… - [Beach Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/beach-retreat-pj-vj~31027) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: In what might be called a house divided, this residence offers the multi-pane windows, peaked tile roofs, and close-set volumes associated with regional vernacular architecture to the street; while to the ocean it presents the sweeping curves and glass expanses of a contemporary villa. Influenced by the location's physical drama and Mexico's artistic heritage, the design engages with color, bold forms and the elements at every opportunity. - [Green Springs Farm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/green-springs-farm-pj-vj~29276) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - Description: This rambling white manor house looks out upon a 1,000 acre farm and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The informal arrangement of its classical forms is appropriate to its farmhouse program. A 28-horse stable with a high peaked roof sits within the rural panorama, a view enjoyed from the brick-floored porches of the house. - [Art Barn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/art-barn-pj-vj~1003536) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Combining a timber-frame barn structure with glass curtain walls, this three-level country house in upstate New York at once references the local, rural aesthetic, and Philip Johnson’s iconic Glass House. Interiors are rendered in natural combinations of ash, red oak, and douglas fir, subtly complementing the owners' modern art collection; while the structure’s windows afford expansive views of the stunning scenery. - [Sagaponack Beachfront Hideaway](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sagaponack-beachfront-hideaway-pj-vj~1517592) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: This Eastern Long Island waterfront residence balances a fully expressed shingle classicism outside, and a spare, cool modernity within. The shingled exterior borrows details from historic architecture, while interior spaces are distinctly modern, combining understatement and luxury. - [Lookout House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lookout-house-pj-vj~31047) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - Description: Capping a hill with views of distant Long Island and the Sound, this pyramid house in Fairfield County, Connecticut, was renovated to erase the aging, brown vestiges of the 1979 original. A new arm stretches to the east, housing the master bedroom suite and family room on the lower pool level. A sustainable project, this house integrates geothermal heating and cooling systems, renewable materials like bamboo floors and eco-friendly paints and finishes. - [Shingle Style Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shingle-style-beach-house-pj-vj~1003477) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 13 - [Black and White House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/black-and-white-house-pj-vj~29272) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: The rambling two-story house drew from English and Swedish country precedents, specifically details from the 18th century home of botanist Carl Linnaeus. Most of the façade is black-painted wood with trim, while one side is stark white stucco. Airy interior decoration was done by Alexa Hampton. - [Southampton Beach House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/southampton-beach-house-pj-vj~1517499) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: Eclectic sources were combined to create this airy family retreat in Southampton, New York, from the cypress woodwork of ships to the 19th century Shingle Style houses of architect Ernest Coxhead. - [Loft In Tribeca](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/loft-in-tribeca-pj-vj~29269) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - Description: This full floor of a former butter warehouse was left mostly open to keep the drama of its 80-foot long interior. Sustainable bamboo floors and cabinetry are tailored simply with exposed steel against a quiet backdrop of white walls and natural gray concrete. Polycarbonate screens conceal service areas when desired. - [River Oaks Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-oaks-townhouse-pj-vj~29267) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This three story townhouse overlooks Buffalo Bayou near the urban edge of River Oaks. The Nathaniel Russell house in Charleston served as inspiration for its brick and limestone facade. Inside, large high-ceiling rooms are reached either by elevator or the grand elliptical stair with its art deco balustrade and antique industrial glass fenestration. Many elements of this house were salvaged from the owners' former 1930s River Oaks house. - [Hawaiian Longhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hawaiian-longhouse-pj-vj~31050) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Facing west towards the explosive Hawaiian sunsets of Maui Beach, these thatched roof houses occupy an acre of grass below swaying coconut palms. Life takes place for the most part within one great timbered and airy room, an element that draws on Polynesian long house precedents. The vermilion stucco anchors the buildings into the island's iron-rich volcanic soil. The great structural timbers recall pole houses indigenous to the island state. - [Tropical Split-Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tropical-split-level-pj-vj~29271) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This 9,000 square foot beach house in Ka'anapali, Hawaii, looks out to Lanai and Molokai from an open split-level floor-plan. The interior and exterior have various woods left natural to contrast with the light plaster walls. Multiple dormers interrupt the wood-shingled Balinese rooflines to allow dramatic natural daylight, while large overhangs keep the interiors cool. - [Arts and Crafts Cottage](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/arts-and-crafts-cottage-pj-vj~1003456) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Less than a mile from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan, this brick and limestone house borrows the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early twentieth century – if not in actual detail then in attention to craft. The rich and meticulously detailed interiors of molded plaster, walnut, white oak, limestone, bronze and hand blown glass give new life to the house's English roots which flourish in a carefully constructed composition. - [Compound in the Dunes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/compound-in-the-dunes-pj-vj~31020) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: On a rolling site overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this beach house brings together two contrasting ideas – nineteenth century Shingle Style design, and a contemporary preference for material and textural expression over architectural detail. While the exterior captures the local design aesthetic, the interior treats light, space and surface in a distinctly modern fashion. - [Rocky Mountain Retreat](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rocky-mountain-retreat-pj-vj~31040) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - Description: This stone and stucco structure sits on an incomparable site near the Continental Divide. The renovation produced a randomly massed exterior with intersecting roof forms that nestles organically in its surroundings. The house is clad in rough-edged, undulating stone slabs, echoing the strata of the nearby canyon. - [Shinglish Country House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shinglish-country-house-pj-vj~993540) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - Description: This New Jersey residence combines a steeply sloping Shingle Style roof with English Cottage Style brick buttresses, resulting in a "Shinglish" hybrid. Irregular clinker bricks animate the surfaces of strongly geometric forms.

Florida or Caribbean?** *(in Photo Questions)* What area as this house built A: It was built in Cabo! **Q: I love the light fixture** *(in Photo Questions)* Plse tell me where I an find it? A: Thanks Sarlat. Many of our light fixtures are custom, but production was facilitated by Urban Electric. **Q: is the floor wood or tile? beautiful bath!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi Mary, the floor is wood. **Q: What is the paint color on the walls?** *(in Photo Questions)* How do they get the technique? Do the paint a dark color under, then the blue, and the distress it? A: Hi toujoursparis - here's the answer designer Mia Jung gave when interviewed on this room: "For this project, I worked with the decorative painter Richard Smith. He created the special room with blue distressed walls, next to the living room. The room is so small, but it took a long time to figure out—I wanted to create a finish that was layer upon layer of color, with a hint of each underlying layer visible. Every time I've worked with him, we've designed in a very different style—a glitzy French trompe l'oeil room for one project, murals in a mountain house for another, and so on. He always understands what I'm trying to do. It is always such a pleasant surprise to see the rooms he has painted for the first time." **Q: Do you know who made the shutters or where I can get them? Thanks!** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi kmh2020, these were a custom design and fabrication. **Q: Can you please provide info about these beautiful chairs?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi rmbowen, the chairs are a custom design, along with the table. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
