LET’S GET STARTED!

 

 At 505 Architects we know architecture.

It’s our 505—that thing we keep coming back to each and every day. The thing that drives us to create, to improve and to provide exactly what our clients are looking for while being mindful of the resources at hand.

Our experience spans 28 years. Whether it’s a school or place of worship, a medical clinic or an animal shelter, a community center or office space, or a multitude of one-of-a-kind projects, we have a proven understanding of the built environment.

We take the complexity out of the design and building process and communicate using simple concepts, making the process approachable, understandable and enjoyable!

At 505 we recognize that each of our clients are unique. To learn their passions and needs requires listening, the investment of time and careful attention in order for the end result to be exactly what it should be.

Let’s get started. We’d love to hear from you, to learn your 505.

Big Picture Minded

The big picture is our clients’ overarching story or idea. It’s the reason we work together. By making the big picture a consistent part of our message, it becomes an organically created piece of knowledge. When this occurs, remaining ideas become easier to understand. We’ll connect these big ideas while simultaneously securing the details in place. At 505 Architects we understand that great architecture must embrace our clients’ intended purpose for their project. Together we accomplish this, while ensuring the project is integrated into the environment it shares with those around it. 1

Detail Focused

Good design is in the details. We understand that each project is unique, and that details showcase this element. The opportunity to make a project as unique as the people it’s intended for, is our commitment to you.
