Since its founding in 1980, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company has completed designs for more than 250 new and existing communities. This work has exerted a major influence on the practice and direction of urban planning in the United States and Canada.
DPZ’s projects have received numerous awards, including two National AIA Awards and two Governor’s Urban Design Awards for Excellence. The firm’s early project of Seaside, Florida, was the first authentic new town to be built successfully in the United States in more than fifty years. In 1989, Time Magazine selected Seaside as one of the 10 “Best of the Decade” achievements in the field of design. The firm has been featured in other national media such as NBC News and ABC News, as well as Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the New Yorker.
New Amherst is proud of their affiliation with Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company.
