Platt/Whitelaw Architects is a full-service architectural firm, dedicated to public and community based projects.

Our approach to design relies heavily on open communication between all members of the design team, including clients, users and community groups. We strive to create buildings that serve their users and communities now and into the future, creating designs that comply with the rules of function but break free from the ties of predictability.

Project types include educational facilities, libraries, parks and recreation, life safety facilities, justice facilities, administration/operation/maintenance facilities, religious institutions, affordable housing and historic preservation. Platt/Whitelaw’s public agency clients include municipalities, school districts, and local & state agencies.
