History
Our firm started in 1985 in a Victorian-styled house
in downtown Elkhart with Gary Frank as the principle. In 1993, due to growth, the firm moved to our present address
at 201 South Nappanee Street, Elkhart, Indiana. The move enabled us growth in
experience and personnel.
As many
architectural firms, we started out as a general practicing firm looking for
work and a niche in the market. With this view, we were able to design a variety
of jobs including residential design, ecclesiastical design for churches, office
buildings, out-patient surgery centers, retail shopping centers, restaurants,
and hotels. As time passed, we
found ourselves being asked to design more and more hotels. Now 70% of our work
volume is in the hospitality market. We have become a nationally recommended
firm for the Hilton franchise group, although we also have experience and
expertise in multiple other brands. We were ranked in the top
100 hospitality design firms in the Hotel Business magazine. Over the past 15
years, we have designed over 150 hotels for various franchises.
We have also become the franchise
architects for Wings Etc. as they are developing their national franchise chain
of restaurants.
