Our mission is to deliver, function focused, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architectural solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of real estate developers, homeowners, and builders. We are committed to using our expertise to turn ideas into reality through a collaborative and client-focused approach.
ARCHITECT / OWNER
RYAN GRASS
A CLE native (Brooklyn Central – it’s by the Zoo) that has lived in Akron for the past 30 years. His work history, talent, leadership skills, and ease with people enable him to handle an array of architectural challenges.
With his wife, Ann, they raised three kids that are currently entering independence as adults. All of them are exiting college or nearing completion of their degrees at various universities. Fingers are crossed.
Ryan attended Kent State University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Architecture and a Bachelor of Architecture. He considers himself fortunate to have studied in Florence, Italy (many) decades ago. Good times.
CHIEF INSPIRATIONAL OFFICE (cio)
DAISY
Old, chubby, perpetually tired, and grey haired; Daisy has been with us since the beginning. She’s an excited greeter but primarily focuses her energies and talents on napping and eating. Her 14+ years of experience have an immeasurable impact on our staff and family.
