Firm History
River Street Architecture, llc was founded by Terry Barker and Rob Fowler in 1998, on the belief that mutually supported individual expression stimulates greater productivity and satisfaction for the designers and their clients than does a rigid, hierarchical organizational structure. Growth of the firm has allowed this philosophy to be enhanced and contributes to the continuing evolution of the organization.
The firm has grown from the original two partners to a group comprised of ten professionals, one technical and two administrative staff. Each member of the professional staff is a licensed architect or architectural graduate. These members bring their unique abilities to projects in a “team deliver” process, which allocates personnel assets to a project as a staff unit that remains together on the project through the entire project duration. This allows staff to explore project specifics with their divergent specialty knowledge and expose their peers to their personal knowledge base, thereby enriching the experience level of all team members. This shared knowledge is further enhanced by the firm’s commitment to continuing education at a firm level, in an effort to prevent firm members from becoming professionally stagnant.
River Street Architecture, llc is recognized for having excellent client communications and astute project oversight from concept through construction. The firm serves as an integrated part of the construction team providing their insights into programming and design, construction problem solving, as well as attending to any local issues related to codes, permits or operations.
River Street Architecture, llc is focused on steadily improving the quality of its work while keeping the building process an enjoyable experience for both clients and firm members. The firm is rich in both experience and enthusiasm with a solid business base.
