Creating Beautiful Solutions for Challenging Problems
At 180 Degrees Design + Build, we are an award-winning, architect-led design-build firm that specializes in high-end custom residential design and remodels, technically challenging commercial design and construction, historic preservation, and adaptive re-use. Since our inception in 2001, we have engaged with a wide variety of clients and technical challenges, resulting in award-winning work that defies the categorical constraints of a single aesthetic.
Our practice is driven by sensitivity to client needs, high-performance demands, an intense desert climate, and the urge to create beautiful solutions for challenging problems. We have been recognized by Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine as Masters of the Southwest, and our experience as master builders lends tremendous insight into how architecture actually works, bridging the gaps that occur between a client's vision, a realistic budget, and the skillful execution of significant, purpose-driven architectural works.
Our Firm
As architects, we are constantly seeking alternative means and methods to reduce costs while maintaining the highest architectural quality and programmatic function. Our self-performing work in concrete and metal fabrication is a testament to our commitment to innovative solutions. Our home and workspace in the Melrose district of Phoenix has its own wood and steel fabrication shop and team that we call The Guild.
Our Team
Our team consists of licensed architects, architecturally trained specialists, and fabricators who are driven by a passion for innovative design and construction. Our partner/principals, Troy Vincent AIA, John Anderson AIA, and James Trahan AIA, are all architects who have decades of experience in the industry. Their expertise and leadership have enabled us to deliver exceptional results to our clients.
Services
We offer a range of services, including design, fabrication, construction, and architectural fabrication. From high-end custom residential design and remodels to technically challenging commercial design and construction, we have the expertise and resources to deliver exceptional results.
Innovation / Vision / Community
Unlike much of the construction industry, 180 Degrees is made up of over 70% architecturally trained staff for both the construction and design entities. As such, we are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between the design intent of the architect, the project financial goals of the client, and the constraints of the traditional single-source construction firm.
Sustainability
We value sustainability and it is a large part of the work we do. Our team is part of the Living Building Challenge Sonoran Collaborative (LBCSC) and are working towards achieving net-zero emissions. In addition to the typical sustainable practices, 180 Degrees embraces the practices of adaptive re-use, repurposing, up-cycling, and passive and innovative technologies.
Our Firm's Philosophy
At 180 Degrees Design + Build, we are committed to delivering exceptional results to our clients. We believe that the design-build process is unique and that it requires a deep understanding of both the design and construction processes. Our team is dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and customer satisfaction.
