About Us
At Spurling Design, we believe that architecture should be a reflection of the people who inhabit it. Our approach is centered around creating spaces that serve both the practical needs and imaginative visions of our clients. We view great architecture as a harmonious blend of history, innovation, and technology, always attuned to the lifestyle of those who will call it home.
We believe that successful design is the result of solid collaboration—between architect, client, consultant, and builder—working together to bring a shared vision to life.
Vision
Our vision is to make good architecture attainable for all, to make comfortable, delightful built environments that have meaning and serve the whole person: body, mind, and soul.
Mission
We will demonstrate the advantages of fully investigating all parameters, all dreams, and all constraints to develop a wholesome design that fully addresses the needs of the occupants while saying something about the occupants—producing the beautiful, functional, and sublime.
Architecture with Purpose and Integrity
At Spurling Design, we see structures as more than just walls and roofs—they have character and energy that speak to the people who use them. We are passionate about structural integrity and love demonstrating how well-built systems come together to support lasting, meaningful spaces. We actively seek out projects that contribute to the public good and our environment, aligning with clients who share these goals—whether it’s a community-based building or a home designed with sustainability in mind.
