Community Synagogue of Rye

A modest budget and an active building set the stage for an ambitious renovation and addition that transformed the Community Synagogue of Rye into a renewed campus for worship, learning, and gathering. The project delivered flexible program areas, enhanced community spaces, and a reimagined sanctuary that balances tradition with modern needs.

AtW guided synagogue leadership through every stage of design and construction, aligning ambitious goals with cost realities and ensuring transparency at each decision point. We kept the congregation’s voice central, managed consultants and contractors with rigor, and coordinated phasing so the school and community could remain active throughout construction.

The result is a beautiful and functional facility that reflects the congregation’s values and strengthens its role as a cultural and spiritual home. Delivered efficiently and collaboratively, the project exemplifies AtW’s commitment to stewardship and our ability to translate mission into built form.
