Martha L. Rothman, FAIA, graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1965 with a Masters in Architecture. She was President of Rothman Partners Architects in Boston until 2005 when the firm merged with Anshen + Allen of San Francisco. She was a principal with Anshen + Allen + Rothman, then Anshen + Allen, until 2010. She then joined Shepley Bulfinch as a consulting principal until 2016.

Elliot Paul Rothman, AIA, graduated from Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) with a Bachelor of Architecture, 1958, and the Harvard Graduate School of Design with a Masters in City Planning,1960 and Masters in Urban Design,1961. He was a graduate teaching assistant in City Planning at the HGSD, then Associate Professor of Architecture there. He founded Rothman Partners Architects in 1968 and was joined in the firm by Martha Rothman in 1971.

Notable projects of the firm in New England are The Carl J. Shapiro Clinical Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, the Research and Education Building at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, a master plan for the Harvard Longwood Campus, a maternal and NICU wing at Women and Infants’ Hospital in Providence and the School of Engineering at the University of New Hampshire.

After living for over 50 years in Boston’s South End, they moved to Brooklyn in 2021 to be closer to family. Seasonal residents of Wellfleet since 1976, they designed their home, inspired by the Cape Cod mid-century modern houses. Elliot’s watercolors have been exhibited at the Wellfleet Public Library, and Martha and Elliot shared a joint exhibit of their paintings, “Near and Far”- at Wellfleet Preservation Hall in summer 2021.
