Berardi + Partners was established in 1979 as Berardi/Plaisted Architects in German Village, a historic district of Columbus, Ohio. Founding Partner George Berardi endeavored to create a firm that serves and satisfies each of our client's needs through effective design and planning. Our firm culture is grounded in family values and respect, both with our associates and our clients. For this reason, we view our firm as an extension of our family and communities we serve. For nearly 40 years, we have maintained steady and consistent growth which started with the hiring of Chris Bruzzese in 1981 as the first associate, and Partner since 1992.

Our hallmark at Berardi + Partners is a pragmatic approach to providing building solutions for our clients, recognizing the dynamic relationship between program and value. Our projects are always delivered as a synthesis of vision, client requirements, site and community, budget, and functional responses. We have produced successful models of this synthesis extending for more than 40 years of continued growth and development. We lend these talents to new construction, repositioning of existing buildings, and to adaptive re-use and Historic Rehabilitation.
