Simons Architects was originally established in 1995. Over the years the firm has evolved to its present form, a multi-disciplinary firm providing architectural, landscape architectural, planning and interior design services for a broad range of clients in the United States.

Based in Portland, Maine, the firm is well known for innovative solutions to design challenges, large and small. Our guiding principle is to design spaces of exceptional beauty and substance. We love challenges and are known for our projects that combine site planning, master planning and combinations of new buildings with renovated and historic buildings. We have a strong ability to envision future facility and space needs and to create sustainable design solutions that add lasting value for owners and their communities.

Our office is organized as an open design studio. Members of the design team are involved at all stages of each project, from initial planning and conceptualization through completed construction and occupancy. We extend this working method to our interactions with our clients, encouraging them to share their ideas and suggestions at every opportunity. A team approach is created for thoughtful design, careful attention to the budget, quality construction, and an overall commitment to excellence.

We bring a unique design approach to all our projects. We balance listening and leading with depth of inquiry. Our goal is to stimulate imaginations and encourage rigorous investigation. We search for solutions that will support the goals and visions of our clients. We provide leadership, guidance, and technical expertise to insure that the final building product is true to our clients’ intentions and supports their mission, programs, and highest aspirations.
