Architecture that starts with listening.
We're a small, hands-on studio that adapts our skills to your needs — not the other way around. From AMC theatres to senior living to the home you've always wanted, built in nearly 30 states.
Apples, oranges & grapefruit.
Every architect promises teamwork, innovation and design excellence. We do too — but what sets us apart is that we really listen, then adapt to what your project actually needs.
New build or remodel, high-end or low-maintenance, a project that needs little hand-holding or one that needs constant attention — we're versatile enough to serve each one differently. We'll plug into your existing team or assemble a brand new one, from structural engineers to kitchen designers to acousticians. At the end of the day, architecture is a service industry.

“Different clients have drastically different needs. Instead of forcing you to adapt to our skill set, we adapt our skills to you. It starts with really listening.”Dan Lickel, AIAOwner, Lickel Architecture
