Quackenbush Architects + Planners is a team of skilled architects and planners that thrive on pushing boundaries while remaining rooted in practicality. We pride ourselves on our ability to seamlessly blend creativity, connectivity, and reality into lasting solutions.

Who is Q+?

We are architects, designers, planners, and just as importantly - collaborators. Our process is hands-on​ ​​and interactive. The relationships we have with our clients, colleagues, partners, and the public foster​ ​trust and dialogue – yielding work that is relevant, appropriate, engaging, and mutually respected. We​ ​ask, we listen, we explore the issues, we define the objectives, and only then do we design, inspire, and​ ​guide. Visually and functionally, the integrity of our work speaks for itself. Yet we are equally passionate about​ ​​the core attributes of our firm that only reveal themselves in the process. We uphold serious attention​ ​to detail – thorough work, modest change orders, and meticulous documentation. We strive for ​conscientious and professional service. We administer a careful and planned implementation of even​ ​​the loftiest ideals. We maintain total respect for a client’s vision, schedule, and budget.

How We Work

How We Think

Great architecture is derived from its unique context, the essence of a place. It contributes to and​ ​strengthens its community. It becomes a positive force, elevating its neighbors. It enriches those who​ ​experience it. We believe in architecture that celebrates urbanity and delights in the juxtaposition of the​ ​old and new. We seek to design buildings and plan spaces for our age – innovative yet part of a​ ​recognizable, genuine environment.

Confidence generated by deep experience and a strong, award-winning track record of institutional, educational and commercial projects.
