Ennead Architects LLP is a New York City-based architectural firm. Previously known as Polshek Partnership, the firm's eleven partners renamed their practice in mid-2010.[1]

The 170-person firm offers architecture, master planning, historic preservation and interior design services. The majority of the firm’s work is for cultural, educational, governmental and scientific not-for-profit institutions. The firm is led by eleven Partners: Timothy Hartung, Duncan Hazard, Guy Maxwell, Kevin McClurkan, Molly McGowan, Richard Olcott, Susan Rodriguez, Tomas Rossant, Todd Schliemann, Don Weinreich, and Thomas Wong. Founder of Polshek Partnership James Polshek holds the title of Design Counsel and is actively involved on selected projects. In 2012, Peter Schubert joined the partners to establish Ennead Architects International LLP expanding the studio's geographical reach and formalizing the pursuit of opportunities to make significant architecture throughout the world. In 2014, Ennead established a Shanghai office that further streamlines the operations in the Far East.

The firm’s architectural solutions are rooted in extensive research involving the analysis of context, program, public image and environmental and construction technologies. Commitment to exploring architecture’s expressive power and conviction that meaningful architecture must truly represent the mission and identity of an institution drive the firm’s design philosophy.

The firm is a member of the United States Green Building Council, and twenty-five percent of registered architects on staff are LEED Accredited Professionals.
