Neighboring Concepts is a community-focused architecture firm. We incorporate public engagement in our projects, providing opportunity to members of the community to help shape, plan, and design where they live.

Our Projects

We're Architects
First and foremost, we're architects. Our belief in the transformative power of design drives us to create spaces that have a positive impact on communities. We are committed to sustainable principles, proudly holding LEED certification within our team and being active members of the US Green Building Council. Whether it's expansive designs or intimate spaces, handling renovations or new constructions, our experience and dedication shine through in every project. Our ultimate goal is to create better places for the community, making a lasting difference through thoughtful and innovative architectural solutions.

We're Neighbors

At Neighboring Concepts, we are not only architects but also active members of the communities we serve, and our specialization in community engagement sets us apart. With a deep understanding of the neighborhoods we work in, we prioritize listening to the voices of the people who will be impacted by our projects, including residents, businesses, and community organizations.

Through collaborative workshops and ongoing partnerships, we co-create spaces that reflect the community's aspirations and address their unique needs. Our commitment to community engagement extends beyond the design phase, fostering long-term relationships that ensure our architecture continues to make a positive and lasting impact. At the heart of our approach lies the belief that architecture can be a catalyst for positive change, and we are dedicated to building a better future, one thoughtful and inclusive design at a time.

We're Professional

Planners

As professional urban planners, Neighboring Concepts brings a comprehensive and strategic approach to our design process. We understand that successful communities are built on careful planning and thoughtful consideration of various factors that influence urban life.

Our team of expert urban planners work hand-in-hand with architects to seamlessly integrate public transit, land use infrastructure, and environmental considerations into our projects. We envision vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods, applying our expertise to create cohesive urban spaces that foster connectivity, accessibility, and quality of life for residents and visitors alike. Through our deep knowledge of urban planning principles, we aim to contribute to the development of thriving communities that stand the test of time.

We're Minority Owned
We’re a minority owned architecture firm and we focus on creating innovative spaces that reflect the personality of the existing culture. We’re staffed by a strong team of differing cultures, backgrounds and ages - which sets us apart from other firms in the industry and allows us to better understand each project's true needs.

Community Engagement

Let's Design Together

We help communities be engaged in the design process. We provide open space strategies and help communities figure out what they want their neighborhood to look like.

By directly engaging and involving the people who use the spaces we design, we are able to better understand what they are looking for. Our process begins with understanding an area, whether it be a neighborhood, building, or park. We then engage community members to really understand individual needs of each person and family in that place, so that solutions can be tailored and adapted to fit their lives.
