FIRM PROFILE
In 1983, David Sommers founded our firm on the simple value of “people come first.” In 2010, inspired by the notion of a firm rooted in culture, Jeffrey Meyers became a partner with hopes of providing others the opportunity to truly enjoy the architectural profession. In 2011 the firm supplemented culture with design by hiring Eric Pros, who embraces and emphasizes the principle that design matters. Today the firm considers itself a culture-based design firm, led by six studio directors with diversity of thought, typology, and approach. Together we strive to shape the world by inspiring the next generation of architectural professionals to embrace an unparalleled commitment to both culture and design.

STUDIOS
Over the years, the firm’s breadth of experience in multiple architectural design disciplines has led to the development of five studios:

Commercial | Hospitality 
Corporate | Office
Public Safety | Civic Architecture
Adaptive Reuse | Historic Preservation
Healthcare | Behavioral Health
Higher Education | Science Labs

OUR PROVEN PROCESS
Our ultimate purpose is to inspire together.

We strive to cultivate an environment of trust and genuine care, where everyone is committed to knowledge. This has generated a firm of dedicated and unabashedly collaborative people who enjoy working together and bringing out the best in each other. We are never finished improving. We pursue excellence on every project and are transformed by each experience.

We are organized internally to respond to change and growth, and to foster innovation and creativity. Guided by our shared core values, we each contribute our talents and strengths to the whole. Leaders support and mentor individual development, promoting the advancement of the entire organization. 

Our projects are a testament to our values and tell our story.
