Philosophy

Sweeney Shank Architects, LLC approaches each project with the understanding that successful design grows from the specifics of the site, context, and the needs and goals of the users, rather than from preconceived architectural stylistic ideas.  For each project, we study and test given space and circulation requirements, carefully analyze the natural and contextual features of the site, and thoroughly study the human and organizational needs of our clients to generate the design and realize the fullest potential of the project. Our aim is to create a beautifully designed project that also achieves budgetary goals.
