Quinn Evans Architects is a preeminent authority in preservation and sustainable stewardship, and plays an increasingly influential role in defining the future of the field.
QEA has grown from a two-man studio founded in 1984 to a thriving multi-faceted firm with a national presence. We have four full-service offices in Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, Ann Arbor, and Detroit, MI, as well as a studio in Madison, WI.
Today we focus on providing award-winning architecture and design with a perspective informed by history and place.
At Quinn Evans Architects, we thrive on creative design that respects its context. Whether we're preserving and repurposing existing structures or creating new places for our clients to work, play and live, we assemble expert teams to assess needs, create consensus and design outstanding solutions. We are dedicated to enriching the cultural heritage of the neighborhoods and communities in which we work, and to advancing sustainable design.
Everyone at QEA is passionate about exploring and researching the buildings we work on. Our love for existing buildings is matched only by our love of integrative solutions that utilize innovative technologies, practices and techniques. We believe in a collaborative effort all the way around – everyone is a valuable part of the process, whether they are a QEA team member, the client, the community, or one of the other members of our network that is practicing at the top of their game.
