FIRM OVERVIEW

From listening and hearing

understanding and caring

designing with a clear focus

paying attention to detail,

bringing together the appropriate ideas and technologies,

and investing with the human spirit

comes architecture.

With this philosophy, Frank Sparkman established a private practice in 1977.  The firm became Feeman/Sparkman Architects in 1982, and Emory Place Architects from 1985 - 87.  The name of the firm was changed in 1987 to the current Sparkman & Associates  Architects, Inc.  Our staff of eight is comprised of two architects, three intern architects, one interior designer, one specification writer and one office administrator.

Since the firm's founding, Sparkman & Associates Architects have completed a wide variety of residential, institutional, corporate, commercial, and industrial projects throughout the eastern United States.  The firm was established with the goal of providing high quality design and personalized service to each client regardless of project scope.  This has been accomplished by maintaining principal contact with each client and the selection of associates and support staff who demonstrate an equal dedication to quality work.  The accomplishment of our goals is evidenced in the long term relationships with clients and numerous awards for design excellence.
