Straughn in 1956, our firm serves a range of clients, stemming from non-profit organizations to large scale public entities, impacting countless individuals. Our firms architectural expertise is woven into the landscape of Polk County, Central Florida, and beyond, forming immeasurable relationships along the way.
We offer the tradition of a hands-on approach for each project and always available attitude for clients and partners. Collaborative design yields projects developed from clear-thinking and thorough analysis. From day one, our clients become part of the design team and drive decisions related to the project. We establish and maintain open lines of communication from ideation through closeout.
Highly successful projects stem from clearly-articulated goals and expectations blended with ongoing dialogues and idea-sharing. Our families live, work, and play in the same types of facilities we design, influencing our dedication to improving the communities we serve. Our designs directly reflect an awareness of stakeholder needs. Throughout the design process, our team directly responds to locality and natural surroundings, performing thorough research and investigations of the environmental, social, economic, and architectural factors (among others) affecting each project.
