Clemmons Architecture is a design oriented studio committed to the principles of innovative urban architecture and a more sustainable built environment. We believe that beautiful, well-organized, sustainable buildings and communities contribute to the dignity and purpose of human actions. We strive to create work that is sustainable (by utilizing passive and active environmentally responsive strategies), urban (by enhancing the local community’s sense of place), and modern (by responding to contemporary social conditions and technologies).

Our diverse portfolio includes residential, commercial, and institutional projects. We focus on urban infill and redevelopment projects – large and small, new construction and renovation/preservation. In addition to our architectural work, we also provide urban design services including site plan studies for individual parcels and master plans for large mixed-use projects.

First formed in 1996, we re-organized as clemmonsArchitecture in 2001. Tim Clemmons, with 25 years of architectural experience, is principal-in-charge and is involved with each project from conception to completion. Each project is assigned a project manager whose role is to ensure the project meets its quality, budget, and schedule goals. Our studio-style office encourages interaction between employees and reflects our philosophy of architectural design as a collaborative enterprise.
