For over two decades, Allard Ward Architects, LLC has been committed to providing exceptional architectural services to our clients. Founded in 1995 by David Preston Allard, our firm has evolved to become a respected leader in the industry, driven by a passion for creating buildings of enduring quality.

Our Philosophy

At Allard Ward Architects, we believe that architecture is a complex and demanding discipline that requires analytical insight, technical skill, open-mindedness, and creativity. We approach each project with a comprehensive working approach, applying innovative thinking to achieve unique solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. While high-quality design is essential, we recognize that it is just one aspect of the building process. We strive to address the whole array of issues that clients bring to projects, from programming and design to planning and construction administration.

Our Services

Our team of experienced architects and designers offers a wide range of services, from predesign and programming to construction administration. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and goals, and then develop comprehensive solutions that meet their expectations. Our services include:

• Design Development: We refine our designs, incorporating client feedback and iterating on our concepts to ensure that our solutions meet their needs.
• Construction Documentation: Our team produces detailed construction documents, including plans, elevations, and specifications, to guide the construction process.
• Construction Administration: We work closely with contractors and owners to ensure that the building is constructed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.

Our Process

Our process begins with an initial consultation with our clients, where we listen to their ideas and goals. We then develop a program of spaces and relationships, which becomes the foundation for our proposal and design solutions. Through a series of iterative design phases, we refine our concepts, incorporating client feedback and iterating on our designs to ensure that our solutions meet their needs. Our team is committed to collaboration and communication, striving to involve our clients in every aspect of the design process.
