Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, we offer a diversity of services, including Architecture, Interior Architecture and Tenant Services, Historic Architecture, Master Planning, Landscape Architecture, Urban Planning, and 3D Visualization.

We specialize in community revitalization that focuses on the adaptive reuse of historic structures and appropriate new infill construction. The focus of our practice is infill development, rehabilitation and revitalization. We believe that adapting and reusing existing buildings coupled with compatible infill construction is not just good business, it creates vibrant communities.

The Architectural team is a vital part of our experienced staff of over 40 professionals. A broad range of backgrounds enables us to assemble project teams with the expertise required for each new project. From new corporate office buildings to state-of-the-art medical research centers, we collaborate with our clients to meet their goals and design needs with the best innovative solution.

Recognized for our award winning adaptive reuse of large-scale historic structures, Commonwealth Architects also concentrates on the sensitive rehabilitation of yesterday's buildings for today's world. Our historic architects are committed to the revitalization of historic structures while focusing on securing Investment Tax Credit incentives for our clients. We have also built a strong portfolio of academic projects at colleges and universities across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Our Interior Architectural group focuses on both new and renovated facilities. Dedicated to providing clients with creative design solutions that reduce overall costs and support productivity, we currently provide interior tenant services to clients throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

In addition, Commonwealth Architects is committed to sustainable design and encourages all clients to explore opportunities to include elements of green architecture and sustainable materials throughout the design process. As a result, most of our senior architects are LEED Accredited Professionals.

It is our belief that sustainable architecture contributes to healthier communities. After all, building community by strengthening the fabric of the built environment where people live and work is a hallmark of our work.
