Founded in 1987 on the principle that ARCHITECTURE and INTERIOR DESIGN are intrinsically connected, SOA approaches design as an integrated process that aligns our client's functional requirements with their desired image. Our projects vary greatly not only in size and scope, but also type of construction (new construction, additions, renovations and adaptive reuse) and client type (educational, institutional, corporate, health care and civic). Together, we create places that enhance how mid-Missouri communities live, learn, work, heal and play.

Not every project requiring an architecture firm necessitates the expertise of an Interior Designer. But for the projects that do, there is no substitution for our on-staff, NCIDQ certified designer involved from schematic design through construction administration. Working with an Interior Designer is an investment in the parts of a building that people will most often see, feel, maintain and remember. Involving SOA's Interior Designer early in the project results in a cohesive set of drawings and specifications so that a client gets more accurate bids and construction that truly reflects the design intent.

As an experienced architecture firm in Columbia, MO, many clients come to us for full-scale architectural services to take a project from initial concept through construction. Some clients simply need help assessing a possible site or determining the feasibility of a potential project. Others need a long-range, phased Masterplan. Our ability to seamlessly integrate interior design services, smart and sustainable design practices and BIM services (building information modeling) into the design process enables us to consistently deliver high-quality, well-coordinated projects to our clients.
