New Haven-based Newman Architects continues its transition to a new generation of leadership with the announcement of Principal Peter Newman’s retirement and the promotion of Laura Gilmore, AIA, LEED GA, Director of Design, and Paul Santos, AIA, Director of Housing, to Principal. Marking the sixtieth anniversary of practice at Newman, this next step in the firm’s evolution signals a new chapter in its continued growth and leadership.
The promotion of Laura and Paul to Principal recognizes their accomplishments at the firm and positions them for continued leadership going forward. Dov Feinmesser, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Newman’s Director of Sustainability, has also been promoted to Associate Principal.
As Newman’s Director of Design, Laura Gilmore, AIA, LEED GA, guides the creation of work defined by design excellence, sustainability, quality documentation, and positive contribution to the communities we serve. Laura has had a major impact on our practice since joining the office in 2018, bringing a keen design sensibility, a deep commitment to Newman’s work, and demonstrated skill in balancing the aspirations of clients, teams, and communities. Through her leadership, Laura has helped cultivate a collaborative and inspiring work environment focused on knowledge sharing and innovation. Driven by her strong work ethic, she is dedicated to leading teams to design solutions that exceed client expectations and create meaningful outcomes for the communities involved. Her projects at Newman have included Heritage Park, a major mixed-use development on the site of UConn’s former graduate campus in West Hartford; the rebuilding of the Wampanoag Country Club in West Harford; the renovation of Yale University’s Branford and Saybrook Colleges Serveries; and residential developments in New Haven, West Haven, Milford, and Farmington. She holds a BA in Architecture from Princeton University and a Master of Architecture from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.
Paul Santos, AIA, Newman’s Director of Housing, advances the firm’s work in the housing sector as sought after partners for design, technical, and financial expertise in the development of affordable, mixed income, market rate, senior, and mixed-use housing projects. Since joining Newman in 2006, Paul has managed the development of more than 1500 units of housing in Connecticut, nearly 900 of them affordable. His work at Newman includes the Hill Central Revitalization and Parkside Village Redevelopment, two affordable housing developments pursuing Passive House Certification; the Hazel Stamford, a mixed-income residential building in Stamford’s South End; the Albion Apartments for Park City Communities in Bridgeport; the Fairfield Court and Vidal Court Revitalizations for Charter Oak Communities in Stamford; the mixed-use, mixed income Colony Apartments in Meriden; and 18 High Apartments in New Haven, among others. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree from Penn State University.
Director of Sustainability Dov Feinmesser, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, organizes Newman’s efforts to bring high sustainability standards to the design and realization of projects. Dov manages a diverse range of projects and teaches professional practice as a Lecturer at the Yale School of Architecture. Dov joined Newman in 2016, holds a B.Arch from Ryerson University and a M.Arch from Yale University, and serves on the AIA Connecticut Board of Directors.
