HISTORY

The firm was started as a sole proprietorship in 2005, with a vision of providing collaborative client service for Commercial and Residential projects. In 2006, Smith Architects LLC was formed to carry that vision of collaborative client service onto Civic and Educational projects. The first opportunities for that work were in tandem with larger firms. In 2009, we expanded to provide architectural design services directly to Higher Education clients and other Public clients.

MISSION

We look forward to continuing to serve our existing clients and to building relationships with new clients. We will continue to connect to our clients by listening to their needs, being inspired by their stories and creating buildings for people. Create – Inspire – Connect.
