History
Established in 2003.
12⁄12 Architects & Planners began with one small project in 2003. Since then, our client base has grown, along with the size and scope of our work. Everything from front porches to brand new homes to restaurants, offices and church renovations. Working in our own back yard to all over the area — we’re growing, and happily so.
Those solutions don’t just arrive on their own, however. Listening is key. It’s your home, your office, your business that we’re designing for — you have to live there, not us. Without your input, we’re nowhere. Our one-on-one personalized design approach caters toward providing you the best possible finished product.
At 12⁄12 Architects, we provide individual services to fulfill all of your project needs. Big or «Not So Big,» interior remodeling or exterior curb appeal, tenant build-out or master planning… our services are tailored to you. We pride ourselves in providing drawings, meetings, schedules, and budgets that fit your project goals.
