Design Chameleons

We strive for enduring quality, affordability, equity, and sustainability in all our projects, which are often recognized by our peers with design and community awards. Our talented design professionals exist solely to further the mission of our clients, and we hope to discuss how we can help with your design needs.

Our Services

At PRA, we offer a wide range of services across various sectors, including:

Church Design

At its most impactful, church architecture and religious design can address the range of human needs from the basic to the spiritual, and experiencing the best examples can be truly inspiring and uplifting.

Civic Design

What these facilities share is a basis in public trust; taxpayers expect that elected officials will ensure their money is well spent to contribute to the health, safety, and enrichment of the community.

Corporate Design

Between 1950 and 2020, the average working adult in the U.S. spent approximately one-third of their waking hours at their job. As industrial and agricultural work gave way to the service industry, many of those hours were spent by people sitting at a desk in an office building. Those are the people we are dedicated to serving.

Healthcare Design

Healthcare services are changing rapidly with advances in diagnostic tools, enhanced care protocols, and the evolving retailification of services. This environment requires careful use of capital to maximize investment returns and plan flexibility that is built-in to support an unknown future.

Higher Education Design

We believe access to post-secondary education is the key to addressing the critical shortage of knowledge-based workers and providing the best chance for personal success in our increasingly service-oriented society.

Hospitality Design

Normally associated with lodging, food and beverage, travel and tourism, entertainment and recreation, and meetings and events, to us hospitality design is really the art of enriching lives through memorable, carefully curated experiences.

Interior Architecture

Holistic design is a core tenet of our philosophy at PRA, frequently manifesting itself when we strive to blend the exterior and interior design into a unified expression of the client's vision. We provide full architectural design with interior design, which includes the selection of the color palette or materials used within a building.

Multifamily Design

We're passionate about helping clients provide quality housing while maximizing their investment through innovative and cost-effective planning, market-differentiating design and building amenities, and construction details that maximize the life expectancy and durability of the building.

School Design

We believe schools are at the heart of our communities and the foundation of our society. Providing learning spaces that engage and support educators, students, and families is fundamental. We feel a unique responsibility to help improve school design and share our knowledge in the hopes it increases opportunities for individuals and communities, alike.

Senior Living Design

Since 1935, PRA has collaborated with Senior Living providers throughout the nation to provide engaging and supportive living environments for seniors. During this time, our practice has evolved as the methods for providing care for the aging have evolved away from medical models to models that allow residents to thrive in independent, active communities and transition in place as their health changes.

Unbuilt Architecture

Real-world circumstances don't always result in a finished project. Unbuilt Architecture exists in every firm. The truth is that sometimes imagination, creativity, and problem-solving live only on our drafting boards or in the ones and zeros of our storage devices.
