Our Vision

We strive to make good places for people.

We are architects and planners committed to architecture with purpose – design that shapes the public realm and builds community. We listen and together work to define places that respond to human needs and aspirations. Each project’s site, surroundings, social and cultural elements inspire architecture that supports and enhances the project's program.

Our Leadership

We are a diverse team that reflects the clients and community we serve.

The minority-owned practice has continuously evolved since 1976, embracing new clients, technologies, materials and building types. The current leadership transition began the gradual and continuous evolution from the firm's identification with the two founding principals, the late Emanuel Kelly FAIA and Vincent Maiello AIA (retired). Principals now include Troy C. Leonard AIA, James Karmolinski AIA, Brian Yachyshen AIA, and Kathryn Babcock AIA.

Our History

We are shaped by our past, looking to the future.

Our history is rich; the people who have made that story and lead the firm are an alliance of architects who engage architecture as a humanizing force in the design for buildings. We analyze the past but reach for the future. Our heritage allows us to choose invention and experimentation.
