We believe the key to a successful design relationship is the ability to listen to our clients, fusing creativity and functionality to create their perfect place for celebration and renewal.

Urban Design Associates provides a full scope of architectural services. As the architect of your project, we specialize in putting together the best possible team to take your project from the planning stage to moving in. We will coordinate your project with general contractors, interior designers, landscape architects, and engineers to make sure construction runs smoothly from start to finish. We specialize in eco friendly homes. We are architects based in Scottsdale, AZ and we serve most major cities in Arizona.

Today's sophisticated homeowner requires more than the latest technology and sustainable building materials. We strive to create homes to support modern lifestyles that blend harmoniously into the natural surroundings. We do not compromise good design to make it "green;" we design sustainable homes because it is good design. It is not an aesthetic, it is a philosophy to incorporate smart, functional, healthy, site friendly designs.
