History and Leadership
Safdie Rabines Architects was established by Ricardo Rabines and Taal Safdie, AIA, who met while enrolled in University of Pennsylvania School of Design’s Master of Architecture program. Rabines is of Peruvian descent; and Safdie, daughter of architect Moshe Safdie, had spent years living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada at Habitat 67, the model community and housing complex designed by her father. The pair graduated in 1986 and landed in New York, working with firms such as Kohn Pedersen Fox and Pei Cobb Freed. They married in 1989, moved to San Diego, CA in 1990, and established Safdie Rabines Architects in 1993. An Interiors division, SRI, was added in 2010. Architects Eric Lindebak and Scott Maas became firm partners 2017. As of late 2017, the firm employed 38 architects, designers and administrative personnel.
