NSPJ Architects

NSPJ Architects is a full-service, award-winning architecture, landscape architecture and land planning design firm. With the main office in Kansas City and a Nashville office, our talented staff of 50 has built a tradition of excellence in service and design with the utmost commitment to quality since 1961.

Our intelligent and thoughtful design practices empower us to create commercial projects with superb relevance, function, and recognition in the community. We have designed some of the most recognizable and respected commercial projects in the Kansas City metro and throughout the Midwest region; we can do the same for you. Our commercial practice includes architecture, landscape architecture, and land planning services for offices, retail, hospitality, and academic institutions.

Whether updating an existing landscape or working in conjunction with our architects on a remodel or new home, our landscape architecture team creates unique, customized designs based on our clients' immediate and future needs. We can customize the landscape to compliment a variety of home styles, including traditional, natural or low maintenance, modern, or classical for projects on large estates or small urban lots. From landscape design for mixed-use projects to corporate developments and office buildings, we have the proven ability to successfully combine natural beauty with site amenities to maximize our clients' land value and aesthetics.

Our award-winning architecture practice focuses on single-family residential homes, commercial projects, and mixed-use and multifamily developments. We work with clients across the United States and have the breadth of experience to create successful designs for any project. Designing a new home or significantly remodeling or expanding an existing home is a process of inquiry and discovery. We work with each client to discover the place's essence and the family for which it is intended. We believe that creating a new home or remodeling an existing one is a process of making a place that feels both new and old: new, in that it is a fresh response to the existing conditions; and old, in that it contains deep and familiar qualities that make a place a home.

Our energy efficiency team meets a growing demand for more energy-efficient homes and offices by identifying and improving clients' Home Energy Rating Score ("HERS") through testing, analysis and planning. We also help clients develop and implement the requirements for ENERGY STAR certification. We use a two-part solution to help our clients achieve optimal energy efficiency and a lower HERS score. The first environmental efficiency test is a visual inspection conducted during the rough stage of construction, after insulation is in place and prior to any drywall installation.
