History | 

 The firm was founded in 1990 by Principals Edward W. O’Neill, Jr., R.A. and Michael M. Simpson, R.A.  Currently a firm of the two principals, professional/architectural staff, and administrative staff.  The architectural and professional experience ranges from four to thirty years. 

Initially thriving on residential and commercial renovations, additions, and adaptive re-use of old buildings, the work now consists of diverse building types and clientele.  This diversity has expanded the firm’s experience to include complex commercial, government, medical, institutional, and interior design projects.  In all of these project types the firm incorporates imaginative, “outside-of-the-box” problem solving and aesthetic invention, as a means of satisfying the multi-faceted needs of our clients.

There’s never only an either/or, there’s always a both/and solution.
