The Team
The firm’s creativity and vitality has allowed it to recruit a very diverse staff. They include architects with specialized skills in educational architecture, office design, health care design, religious facility design and computer graphics. Some of our staff architects have taught local college level architecture classes. In addition, the firm has hired individuals with skills in related fields such as interior design, graphic communications and construction management. This rich diversity of talents and experience has added to the vitality and excitement generated by the firm.
Leadership
The original leadership of the firm has guided the firm from its humble beginnings, in a spare bedroom of Mr. Melby’s home, to its current position as a recognized design leader in the region. New leaders have gradually been added to create a broader, more diverse level of talent and service to firm clients. The firm is currently actively cultivating the next generations of leaders to continue the tradition and expand on the firm’s strengths to take it to the next level.
