Our mission is to create architectural solutions for buildings and spaces that are beautiful, functional, and environmentally responsible within our community.

good design + happy clients = good architecture.

SCF Architecture, LLC

Our goal is to provide down to earth, context-driven, environmentally-friendly architectural services to serve our client’s needs.  We aim to collaborate with all parties involved in a project – from the Owner, to the Engineering Consultants, to the Construction Manager, to the Code Enforcement Officials, to the Contractors and the end users.

Programming is one of the most important parts of the design process.  We do our homework to fully understand the clients’ needs before providing designs.  Understanding the function of the renovations or new facility, we feel this careful analysis is of the utmost importance.  Our goal is to provide a solution to our clients’ architectural needs – whether it be a simple code review or interpretation, a face-lift to an aging building, a renovation project, an addition, or a new facility or home. No project is too small (or too large) to be well-designed.
