We design additions, renovations, new homes and small commercial spaces across Chester and Montgomery Counties. We are a small office, so you get straight answers about what your budget can do, and drawings your contractor can build from.
Services
Hire us for exactly the part you need. Every service below can stand on its own or carry through to construction.
Additions, renovations and new homes of every size. Hire us for a single consultation or a complete set of permit and construction drawings.
Retail, restaurant and office spaces, whether you are moving into a new space or reworking the one you have. Layouts are built to bring customers back.
When an existing building is failing, we document conditions right away and trace the cause. On larger matters we work alongside forensic firms, law firms and specialist engineers.
An expert read on your project before you commit to a full contract. You leave knowing what is realistic, what it may cost and what comes next.
Start here
A consultation is the low-risk way to find out whether a project makes sense. We sit down with you for a working session, look at what you have and what you want, and tell you what it realistically takes.

Since we opened in 2006 the goal has been the same: give every client the best value for their dollar and treat each project like our first. We have no plans to grow into a big firm. It keeps us close to the work and to you.
“If a thing like this is worth doing at all, it’s worth doing right.”
We tell you what is realistic for your budget instead of what you want to hear.
Thorough, accurate drawings keep surprises out of construction. It is why contractors recommend us to their clients.
A small office keeps our hourly rates competitive, so more of your budget goes into the building.
Services are à la carte. We size the work to the project and never sell what you don't need.
We specify sustainable materials and systems when they fit, and donate a portion of proceeds to environmental causes each year.
How a project runs
Tell us about the property and what you want to change. We'll say plainly whether we're the right fit.
A 2–4 hour working session on goals, constraints, rough costs and a realistic schedule.
For most projects the next step is a full architectural proposal with a clear scope.
Schematic design, code analysis and the permit and construction drawings your builder prices from.
We can help you bid the work and stay involved through construction administration.
Questions
A standard consultation is $795. If you go on to hire us for the larger project, that fee is credited back toward it.
Yes. Our services are à la carte. Some clients need a single consultation, others need existing-conditions measurements and permit drawings, and some want full design through construction.
We're based in Chester Springs. Our recent projects are spread across Chester and Montgomery Counties, the Main Line and Bucks County, with commercial work as far as Lancaster.
Yes, light commercial work such as retail, restaurant and office spaces, including fit-outs of existing buildings. We know the ADA accessibility and ICC code requirements those spaces have to meet.
Yes. We investigate moisture intrusion, flashing, window, stucco, EIFS, roof and structural problems in existing buildings. We document conditions immediately so later changes can be tracked.
No, by design. We keep the office small so everyone is involved in every project and you always know who is drawing your building.
Contact
Send a few details about the property and the project. You’ll hear back from Joshua Sukenick about next steps, usually starting with a consultation.
