A Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Architecture Firm
Building ExcellenceThrough Design
Founded in 2013, Prime Architects provides architecture, interior design, planning, and construction-phase services, with engineering integrated through our long-standing teaming partners. We have delivered projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the United States Air Force, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the General Services Administration, and commercial clients across the United States.
Our Mission
Prime Architects exists to help agencies and owners get the most from the buildings they already have and the ones they still need. We assess, plan, design, and oversee construction for hospitals, secure facilities, and workplaces that cannot shut down while we work. Our clients get a small team, a principal who stays on the project, and drawings that get built the way they were drawn.
Proudly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned: Corporate and Public Sector Architectural Services
Our Vision
Our vision is to grow from a trusted regional firm into a national resource for agencies that need experienced architects inside occupied and secure facilities. We want to be known for design that respects the mission of the building and the people who work in it.
OurClients
Trusted by federal agencies since 2013. Our repeat clients include the Department of Veterans Affairs, the General Services Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
OurTeaming Partners
Federal projects rarely fit inside one discipline. Prime Architects brings a proven bench of civil, structural, MEP, and construction management partners to every pursuit, so agencies get an integrated team with established working relationships rather than one assembled for the proposal. Our long-standing partners include Above Group, Coffman Engineers, O’Connor Construction Management, Inc., and Salas O’Brien.
