Nancy Bastian

Biographie : PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE A seasoned architect with over 30 years of experience, Nancy Bastian has extensive design expertise in multi-family housing, including market rate high end units and subsidized low income units. Her experience also includes institutional and commercial projects. A partner at Cecil Baker + Partners, Nancy brings thoughtful, contemporary architecture to projects at any budget. Nancy has overseen multiple multi-million-dollar construction projects, and she works closely with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA), the City of Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority (PRA) and others. Expert at zoning analysis and planning studies, she recently helped to shepherd a new 32-story residential tower in Center City Philadelphia through the entitlement process, gathering community support, Civic Design Review approval, and positive zoning for a project that was struggling with neighborhood and city support before Cecil Baker + Partners became involved. Nancy has presented multiple workshops on accessible housing and design, detailing ways in which accessible housing can be thoughtfully reconsidered to obtain maximum usefulness for residents. She will be speaking on aging in place at the upcoming Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency’s housing conference in Harrisburg. She chairs the AIA Philadelphia Housing Committee, and has rejuvenated a long dormant committee to become an active group with events including monthly presentations by a wide array of invited speakers, lunch and learn presentations, and a yearly housing forum.
