Moule & Polyzoides

Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists is an architecture and urban planning firm based out of Pasadena, CA founded in 1990 by partners Elizabeth Moule & Stefanos Polyzoides.

The firm was founded "to address the emerging challenge of our time: creating timeless and sustainable buildings, campuses, neighborhoods and towns for current and future generations." Moule & Polyzoides is often sought after for their work in both rethinking urban centers as well as creating residential complexes centered around courtyards.

The firm's Pasadena office is located in a building previously occupied by Wallace Neff and Frederick Ruppel which Neff designed in the late 1920s and Moule & Polyzoides rehabilitated in 1998.

In 2015 Moule & Polyzoides was honored by The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art for excellence in the classical tradition with the 2015 Arthur Ross Award for Community Design and City Planning. The firm was also recognized at the 2015 CNU Charter Awards for 30 Years of Scripps College Campus Stewardship.

In 1991, firm partners Elizabeth Moule and Stefanos Polyzoides were part of a group of architects and urbanists invited by the Local Government Commission to develop a set of community principles for land use planning along with a panel of architects, called the Ahwahnee Principles.

Building upon their work for the LGC, Moule and Polyzoides (along with Peter Calthorpe, Andrés Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and Daniel Solomon) co-founded the Chicago-based Congress for the New Urbanism in 1993 to further urbanist advocacy domestically and abroad and was the first to articulate many of the ideas that now pervade planning in many cities. Since its founding, the CNU has grown to more than 3,000 members, and is the leading international organization promoting New Urbanist design principles through education, legislation, planning, and architectural practice.
