For nearly thirty years, the Spector Group has been creating architecture that has redefined the suburban landscape. Anticipating corporate America's move to greener environments, the Spector Group's early architecture set the precedent for today's innovative work spaces. The following pages represent the design and planning of 400 corporate campuses and headquarters buildings, mixed-use facilities, institutional spaces, hospitality projects, retail centers, and multi-family residences. The single thread that unites this firm's work is the creation of energetic spaces they have termed Lifespaces. The architecture featured here in full-color presents structures of energy and flexibility where the textures of the outside come in to allow the user a welcome freedom to participate in and enjoy the space. This collection highlights the Spector Group's broad scope of design capabilities, their unique understanding of business, and a partnership approach that looks to the next century for uninterrupted expansion.
