People spend nearly 80% of their lives in buildings. Coates Design Architects strives to address this reality by contributing buildings and spaces to our communities that are provocative, healthful and inspiring. We approach every project as an opportunity to design something unique that reflects the needs and goals of the individual client and creates a meaningful sense of place. Our team seeks to reveal creative design strategies and technical innovation that are inspired by our clients, the site and the ecological context.

An architectural master plan, or long-range comprehensive plan, is important because it affects how we do things every day and how we will do them in the future. Coates Design takes master planning head on by working with skilled planners, urban designers, and landscape architects to offer a full complement of services that solve the built environment's planning and design challenges. Our architectural planning team helps you define the vision for your land and an achievable future by establishing specific goals and strategies for land use, community appearance and design, housing and neighborhoods, jobs and economic vitality, public services and facilities, natural resource protection, open space and recreation, arts and culture, jurisdictional coordination, transportation needs, and the history of the site.
