Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, Inc. was founded by Marvin Jarmel in 1975, as ISS - Interior Space Specialists, Inc. The Firm initially specialized in the interior design of corporate offices and provided design, product procurement and construction management services. In the early 1990's, his two sons, Matthew, an architect, and Richard, an engineer, joined the firm and began to transform it into a general practice of architectural services. Irwin Kizel, an architect and professional planner, with vast building experience, joined the firm shortly thereafter.
In March
of 2000, to mark the Firm’s 25th anniversary and to show its pride in their
work, the principals changed the Firm’s name to Jarmel Kizel Architects and
Engineers, Inc.
Today, Jarmel Kizel Architects and Engineers, Inc. is one of the largest,
