Specialties

Martina Bacarella Architect is a full service architecture firm practicing in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the New York metropolitan area. We have over 28 years of experience in residential, retail and institutional design. We are a certified DBE/WBE in Pennsylvania. We provide a unique combination of design and exterior consulting services; our expertise in both fields is mutually reinforcing. On the one hand, allowing us to provide well considered projects for repair, renovation and historic preservation, and on the other hand allowing us to provide properly detailed, appealing new designs that are enriched by, but not rigidly bound to, an understanding of older forms and methods of building.

Meet the Business Owner: Martina B.

I founded Martina Bacarella Architect in 2001 and have been a licensed architect since 1998. My experience began in 1990 when I graduated from the University of Virginia School of Architecture. My areas of expertise include historic preservation, classical architecture and exterior detailing. I have a broad and diverse field of knowledge in the inception, planning, design and execution of new construction and historic building restoration. I have worked with developers, hotel owners, co-ops, condominium boards, retailers and private clients, always paying special attention to the details and the client's concerns whether the project was traditional or modern in design. I am president of the board of the Architectural Heritage Association in Scranton; and a board member of the Northeast Pennsylvania chapter of the AIA. I am registered to practice architecture in New York and Pennsylvania. I am a QEWI (Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector) in New York City for FISP Inspections.
