It is wonderful to see the ĻӰ tradition continue.”

The firm focuses on civic, cultural, academic, health care, corporate, and industrial projects, and he has provided his extensive expertise on their projects in architecture, planning, and design in high-caliber institutional, cultural, and historic settings. Some of these have included the Schwartz Center for the Arts, Brandywine Conversancy Museum of Art, and First Troop Philadelphia City Calvary, among many more.
