Born in 1891 and founded in 2024 Underhill Architects is based on the understanding that values are realized through process. Consistent communication and collaboration allows each project to align with the intentions of the client. The design and construction process can be challenging and as it turns out the creation of space can be chaotic at times. Listening, remaining curious, and advocating help provide a framework for a healthy design process.

Underhill Architects values sustainability, reciprocity, and humanity. We believe that the health of the self, individual or collective, is dependent on the health of the spaces, built or natural, inhabited. We strive to create healthy spaces that align with the intent of the project and nurture those that inhabit them. The creation of spatial caretaking. It's a lofty goal but time is short, the stakes are high, and gravity never sleeps.

Architecture eclipses craft, design, and the built environment. It resides within policy, advocacy, and equity. Understanding the constraints, opportunities, and imbalances create a framework for a successful design project. These forces are unique to each project and must be addressed early in order to proceed.
