Serge Appel joined Cook+Fox in 1996 and since then has helped shape a small architectural practice into a thriving studio of 65 people. He works closely with the firm's founding partners and has played a key role in many of the firm's major projects. He was named an Associate in 1999 and a Senior Associate in 2006. In 2007 he was named Associate Partner.

Currently, Serge is the Associate-In-Charge of Cook+Fox's largest project to date, the LEED Platinum 2.2 million square foot Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. He has been involved since the earliest design phases and now manages the architects' responsibilities in the ongoing construction process. With an interest in large-scale, complex projects, he has developed an expertise in the techniques involved in the construction of modern high-rise buildings, and an understanding of how such processes inform design solutions. He has recently also been instrumental in guiding the efforts on Cook+Fox's winning submission to the AIA NYC Design Awards 2008. Prior to working on the Bank of America Tower, Serge was responsible for 360 Madison, a 350,000 square foot, 26 story office building that was called "the best new building in years" by the New York Sun. At both Cook+Fox and its predecessor firm, Richard Cook & Associates, he has worked on all phases of planning, design, and construction for a range of residential, institutional, and commercial projects.

Serge graduated from McGill University School of Architecture in Montreal, Quebec in 1996. He became a licensed architect in New York State in 2000 and a LEED Accredited Professional in 2004. He speaks frequently on sustainable architecture and the design of the Bank of America Tower.
