Yefim Massarsky received his architectural education in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Russia, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. At the relatively young age of 28, he produced several interesting design works, and was accepted into the very prestigious Union of Architects.
In 1976, at the age of 29, he received a recognition award for one of the best works in architectural design among the Young Architects of Leningrad. In 1981, he emigrated to the USA, and immediately started to work for a large architectural firm in downtown Boston. He worked as a member of a design team on projects such as: The Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Boston, Quincy Market, 53 State Street Exchange Place, Dartmouth College in Hanover NH, and other commercial projects.
In 1985, he passed his registration exam and became a Registered Architect in Massachusetts. Since 1987, Yefim Massarsky has been working for himself, producing interesting design works for clients in the USA, England, and Israel.
Paralleling his architecture work, he pursued other interests in fields of Industrial Design, Visual Merchandizing, and Computer Photography. He made several important inventions, and received nine US and four international patents.
Since 1995, he primarily concentrated on Commercial and Residential Design, and later on added a Design-Build component to his core business. Yefim Massarsky taught Architectural Design at Boston Architectural College and at Russian School of Mathematics, an after-school math program in Newton, MA. He also did a significant amount of volunteer community work, serving on the Architect Selection Committee for the Rashi School, the Architect Selection Committee and the Building Committee for Design and Construction for Temple Beth Elohim’s new building in Wellesley, MA.
