THE FIRM

Nelson Architects is an award-winning, full-service architectural firm with a reputation for delivering innovative and well-planned designs across multiple industries including healthcare, commercial, education, multi-family housing, and senior living. Our clients consistently tell us we’re easy to work with.

Solid client relationships are at the core of our success and the reason for our extensive repeat client base. Our approach to both the design process – collaborative problem solving, research and innovation – as well as the project delivery process – team integration and communication, attention to detail, and adherence to timelines and budgets – ensures the success of each project.

We are specialists in healthcare design and renovation, working closely with our clients during occupied construction to ensure uninterrupted services. We design USP 797 and USP 800 (clean room guidelines) certified pharmacies, initial Rapid Medical Exam (RME) pods for emergency centers, and master plans to identify the best strategies, timelines and budgets for each project. We are skilled in creating efficient renovation designs that fit existing footprints.

We have earned a reputation as the Owner’s Architect. We create a shared understanding of the entire building process from planning and programming to design and construction management. Our streamlined process ensures strong communication among the entire team and it saves money and time while delivering a high quality project.

We are masters at assembling skilled and collaborative design teams from across the country, as needed for specialized projects. Some of our national consulting partners include Maryland-based Porter Khouw Consulting as well as Seattle-based Mesher Shing McNutt.
