Firm Profile
CPCArchitects is founded on the belief that Architecture is more than the expression of design, ideas and concepts in a computer or on paper. Architecture is the means of delivery for visions, dreams, and ideas. Ideas that live in the hearts and minds of the world’s finest organizations, institutions, leaders and visionaries. Founded by two Principals with over 45 years of experience delivering world class and award winning projects, CPCArchitects holds the belief that true collaboration must occur at all levels of the project delivery from the earliest goals and visions to the field office and trailers on the jobsite. We understand the challenges faced with building dreams and work from all directions to achieve the understanding and design that ultimately will exceed our clients' expectations. We are natural collaborators and facilitators and look forward to the opportunity to work with you on challenging projects whether it is a simple remodel or a complex, multi-story ground up building. We look forward in rolling up our sleeves and work with you on solutions that are tangible. Our friendly and engaging personalities, backgrounds in highly competitive sports and passion for what we do enable us to connect with our clients to build long lasting solutions, relationships and friendships. Our history of developing close working relationships with the contractors and trades that build our projects means that your dreams will be based on the most solid and tested of construction technologies and getting the right decisions the first time around.
