No one thing makes Neumann/Smith stand out. It’s a little bit of everything.

We take on projects large and small. In markets we know well and ones we’re new to. We challenge our team to look at every project with a fresh perspective, leveraging our wide breadth of experience to design truly unique solutions. When you see our projects, you realize they’re all vastly different from one another. But one thing they share is their positive impact - on the 
user, the client, and the community.

At Neumann/Smith we combine design and technical in one studio: challenging our team to challenge each other, leveraging and learning from each other’s expertise. We believe creativity is possible at every step of the process, and value it above all else.

Since 1968, our firm has provided architecture, interior design, + planning services across the country, but primarily in the state of Michigan. Our diverse portfolio + individual experiences shape our perspective as a firm, resulting in bespoke solutions that feel distinctly different. Our legacy is built on your experience.
