Well-designed buildings, whether old or new, enhance the image of a business, neighborhood, investment property, government agency, or institution. For nearly thirty years, the architecture and planning firm of Frazier Associates has specialized in the rehabilitation of existing structures and the architectural design of new buildings that add value for both owners and users, and enhance their community be it a downtown, neighborhood, campus, or corridor. Our experience in architecture includes historic rehabilitation, building restoration, downtown faade design, home design and renovation, feasibility studies, government and educational projects, ecclesiastical projects, new construction, and master plans.
New buildings offer an opportunity to create a distinctive place, that can enrich the lives of those who spend time in and around it. As Vitruvius, the Roman architect once said, good architecture must have "firmness, commodity and delight." To reach these goals and inform the design, we listen carefully to our client's needs and preferences. We research local zoning regulations and building codes to ensure compliance with regulations. The building site and surrounding area provide design clues and a context for the project, particularly in existing downtowns and neighborhoods.
