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.

COAR Design Group

COAR is an abbreviation of the term: COmmunity ARchitects. Community is at the heart of everything we do and every project we complete. Communities can be small or large but they’re never singular. They tend to be layered, complex, and diverse. More importantly, they reflect the groups of individuals that are integrated into each and every project: The end users, stakeholders, patrons, partners, designers, builders, and residents. At COAR Design Group, we create spaces that bring people together and serve the community.

With 30 years of experience (previously Jeff Katz Architecture) ranging from public safety and community centers to animal care and entertainment facilities, COAR Design Group has the knowledge and skill to fulfill your project’s needs and exceed your expectations.
