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 job site.

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 to rolling up our sleeves and working 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. We are not just looking to provide you with a service; we are looking to build a partnership that will enable our clients to focus on what they are good at and trust us to deliver their needs and dreams via world-class architecture.
