Jesse Schwartzberg returned to his hometown of Saranac Lake, NY to found Black Mountain Architecture, PLLC in 2011. While earning his Master of Architecture degree at the University of Oregon Jesse acquired a comprehensive understanding of contemporary green building techniques and honed his understanding of modern building science principles.

A native of the Adirondacks who worked as a finish carpenter for six years before attending architecture school, Jesse is uniquely suited to work within the existing Adirondack architectural vernacular. By combining his local experience with the knowledge he acquired outside the Park, Jesse takes a fresh approach to architecture in the Adirondacks. Jesse is deeply passionate about the future of the Adirondacks. He is particularly interested in net zero energy, local materials, and sustainable design.
