Established in 2015.

William H Arthur IV is a Summa Cum Laude Architect from the University of Florida and a 2011 AIA Henry Adams Gold Medal Recipient. William is a third-​generation Architect and has produced designs in both commercial and residential projects throughout Florida, often in collaboration with his family’s practice in architecture.

William seeks to design from a perspective that is both culturally and historically minded. Since 2009, William began to collect and catalog his grandfather’s early works in South Florida and the Caribbean; familiarizing himself with his heritage of mid-​century architecture and learning about his grandfather’s association with Igor B. Polevitzky– a prominent MiMo architect.

Since 2008, he frequently travels to Havana, Cuba to study architecture, using a special license granted by the U.S. Treasury Department to examine how buildings there function without the use of air-​conditioning.
