Donofro Architects

Donofro Architects is a deeply rooted architectural firm with a rich history spanning over 50 years. Established in 1963 in Marianna, Florida, our legacy began with Paul Donofro, Sr., who initially worked at his brother's firm in Dothan, Alabama. After eight years of experience, Paul Sr. purchased the Marianna office and established his own practice, "Paul A Donofro AIA Architect." In 1983, his son, Paul Donofro, Jr., joined the firm, and together they shaped its trajectory. Their dedication and expertise culminated in the name change to "Paul Donofro & Associates, Architects" in the early 1990s. After 30 years of dedicated service under his father's guiding hand, Paul Jr. took ownership of the company, transforming it into "Donofro Architects" - a testament to the family's enduring commitment to architectural excellence.

At Donofro Architects, we take immense pride in our multi-generational legacy and our deep commitment to serving the communities of Northwest Florida, South Alabama, and South Georgia. Our unwavering dedication to providing high-quality design solutions has earned us the trust and respect of clients across diverse sectors.

Our expertise extends to a wide array of building types, including educational institutions, commercial establishments, governmental facilities, financial centers, and places of worship, each project treated with the utmost care and attention.
