BLDGS is a practice dedicated to the creation of inventive and enduring architecture and community design.  We focus on projects in the public realm, including museums and art galleries, university buildings, corporate offices and campuses, and offices and homes for clients who share a belief in architecture as a community asset. Our core principles:

We are devoted to quality and sustainability.  We believe buildings and communities should be designed carefully, built well, last a long time, minimize the use of resources, and support our collective health.

We believe in design excellence.  We strive to create work that is meaningful and unexpected, but grounded in reality and unfussy.  While the technical processes around building are the core of our labors, the purpose of our architecture is to make meaning.

Our design process is research-driven, open-ended, and collaborative. We work with a wide variety of clients – individuals, collectives, campus and company leaders – to create inventive and enduring places, structures, and communities.

The firm has been recognized with over 20 local, national, and international awards, including the 2019 Georgia AIA Firm of the Year, the 2017 Architectural League of New York Emerging Voices Award, and the 2016 Atlanta AIA Silver Medal Firm Award – the highest recognition given to a firm for design excellence and community leadership.  The work of the firm has been published internationally.  In 2008 the very first project of the office was published in the New York Times Sunday Magazine.
