Inspiring, Accessible and Sustainable: Scarsdale Synagogue Renovation by Landau Zinder Architecture
Following years of fundraising, design and construction to implement the first phase of a new master plan, the sanctuary renovation of a beloved synagogue in Scarsdale, New York, is finally complete, welcoming worshippers back to regular services in a completely reimagined sunlit sanctuary.
Designed by Landau|Zinder Architecture, a boutique firm providing design and architectural services to the Jewish community nationally, the redesign of Scarsdale Synagogue Temples Tremont and Emanu-el has transformed the sanctuary from something almost barn-like to a more modern and highly flexible space, supporting the synagogue leadership’s desire to support a wide range of service types. At the same time, the architects have completely refreshed the building exterior to harmonize aesthetically with the synagogue’s adjacent school building.
