Founded in Atlanta in 1979

We believe that architecture has the unique ability to unleash human capacity. It can unlock the full value of materials, teams, communities, investors and the tenants who bring them to life. We create spaces where people flourish.

We are unabashedly optimists to the core. We believe in architecture because we believe in humanity. We believe that the better we design, the better society can be, and more prosperous too. A lot of things can get in the way. Things like inexperience, big egos, complacency, lack of leadership and poor partnership.

We believe that greatness comes from great understanding, and great partnership. Not ego. Smallwood helps our clients and partners unlock the full potential of their projects. We use the power of architecture to make a difference. We know how it’s done, and we know how to make things even better.

Our insatiable desire to learn and innovate has led to over 47 years of successful projects and partnerships across globe. We bring that global experience to every project we approach. As the demands on the built environment have changed, the role of the architect must change from that of Artist to the Collaborative Leader. We embrace this change and we inspire our clients and partners to greatness. We reveal the bountiful opportunities within every project.

Build meaning.

Build buildings.

Build relationships.
