Our Firm

At New Republic, we are a collaborative team that pushes the edge of wholistic, intentional design. Relationships with our staff, our Clients, and the communities we design for are at the heart of everything we do.

Our mission is to enrich our communities through thoughtful design— creating spaces where people live, grow, and thrive.

We believe great architecture is a catalyst for positive change and can revitalize our rich urban, suburban and historic landscapes.

DESIGN FOCUS

We provide design solutions that are innovative and outlast temporary design trends. 

Equally committed to preserving our region’s historic architectural legacy, enhancing our urban core, and bringing a touch of urbanity to the suburbs, we bring passion to housing in all its forms. Whether multi-family or single-family, historic rehabilitation or new construction, market-rate or affordable, residential or mixed-use, our team is excited about all types of residential architecture.

CLIENT FOCUS

We offer our clients a collaborative, personal experience without sacrificing the design expertise and project knowledge of a larger firm.

Whether single-family or multi-family developers, we value every client relationship and deliver attentive service—because when our clients have a good experience, so do we. We take initiative, bringing fresh ideas and intelligent growth opportunities to the table. Our clients trust us because we are accountable: we own our work, we follow up and follow through.

We have fun taking architecture seriously.

We are proud of our culture. How we treat each other, our clients and our community, matter to us. Our culture is defined by our core values: we are passionate, collaborative, supportive, and we are always learning.

Passion

We are passionate.

Passion drives everything we do—for our clients, our communities, and one another. We pursue projects that inspire our team and partner with clients who share our commitment to conscientious, innovative design. We know quality housing helps people and communities thrive—and when we love what we do, we thrive too. We are design driven.

Collaboration

We are collaborative.

Collaboration is at the heart of our design ethos. Our staff, clients, and communities each have something to teach, learn, and contribute. By combining knowledge and skills, we spark new ideas, expand expertise, and achieve success together. Collectively, we are stronger than any one individual. We design together.

supportive

We are supportive.

We respect and help one another—in our professional development and in our daily lives. Our designs are meant to support communities, and our commitment extends beyond projects through local volunteerism and community betterment programs. We believe a supportive environment helps everyone—our staff, our clients, and our communities—thrive.

learning

We are always learning.

Curiosity drives us—about buildings, design, our clients, and our communities. We teach, advise, and learn alongside our team, clients, consultants, and neighbors. Open to new ideas, we empower those we work with to grow and thrive. We design different.

work and play

We have fun. When you love architecture as much as we do, it shows.

At New Republic, we work hard in the studio but also value balance beyond it. We celebrate big and small wins with our team and clients—whether over happy hours at a neighborhood brewery, enjoying local entertainment, or supporting community fundraisers. For us, success means working with purpose and celebrating together.
