Philosophy

Sketch from Moorer YMCA by Joseph Cleveland

The built environment should be designed and constructed to serve our society well. At Joseph G. Cleveland Architects, LLC we are dedicated to providing responsible architectural design that improves upon existing conditions and enhances the lives of those who use and interface with our work.

We think each project has a unique character. We strive to express that character within the context of the client’s requirements, environmental concerns, and regional conditions while respecting the site and acknowledging local traditions and customs. We work to design projects that provide for both the physical and psychological needs of those experiencing the project. The result of incorporating these goals into the work is an expression of good project design. When these objectives are addressed with honesty, a project that is true to its purpose and responsible to society evolves.
