Kirtley Cameron, AIA
Founding Partner
Kirtley Cameron is the Founding Partner of Cameron & Corrigan Architects in Bedford, New York. Kirtley launched her residential practice more than twenty years ago after earning her Masters of Architecture from Columbia University. Her work spans historic restoration and new construction with an equal passion for adding to a home’s long history or creating a new home where clients can start a new story.
Kirtley grew up among the historic houses of Newport, Rhode Island, and fell in love with the way buildings both bring history to life and shape the way we live today. She studied art history at Middlebury, and worked at Sotheby’s for almost a decade before turning to architecture. She is committed to both historic preservation and sustainable building, embracing preservation not as freezing a building in time, but as stewarding its thoughtful evolution ensuring it remains a home that will be lived in and maintained for decades or centuries to come.
Kirtley has served as president of the Bedford Historical Society and on the town's historic district commission and strategic planning committee. She also sits on the Advisory Board of Bedford 2030. In her role as board member for independent schools and clubs, Kirtley has overseen multiple institutional capital projects including for Rippowam Cisqua in Bedford, NY, St. George's School in Newport, RI, and Middlebury College, where she currently serves as Chair of the Board of Trustees. Being on the client side for these projects has provided her with a more comprehensive perspective of the design process, and built her listening and team management skills.

Patrick Corrigan, AIA
Partner
Patrick Corrigan is a Partner at Cameron & Corrigan Architects in Bedford, New York. His work ranges from historic renovation to classically inspired new construction. Central to his practice is the conviction that traditional architecture should feel at home in contemporary life, and always shaped by the people who live in those spaces.
Patrick's appreciation for New England's architectural style goes back to his early years in Massachusetts and has informed his practice ever since. A graduate of Bates College, Patrick earned his Master of Architecture from Parsons School of Design, and a Certificate in Accelerated Management from Yale School of Management. Patrick held positions at Gehry Partners in Los Angeles and Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York City. He served as Managing Director at Hendricks Churchill in Sharon, Connecticut. Alongside his design work, Patrick has contributed significantly to the field as a writer and researcher — serving as research assistant to architecture critic Paul Goldberger, contributing to the official biography of Frank Gehry, and collaborating with Robert A.M. Stern on his memoirs.
Patrick sees every project as a joint collaboration between owner and architect to create something beautiful and lasting. He is drawn to the personal relationships and creative range that come with working directly with individual clients and his goal is to make sure that they feel listened to and find joy throughout the process.
Patrick currently serves as Warden of Trinity Episcopal Church in Newtown, Connecticut. He is a licensed architect in New York and Connecticut and is based in Litchfield County, Connecticut.
