About Us

Who We Are

Our Purpose

We design spaces that empower ideas & connect people.

Rooted in the belief that great design is the result of asking the right questions and truly listening to the answers, Baskervill offers creative architectural, interior design, and MEP engineering solutions to a varied client base, from hospitality to workplace, healthcare, manufacturing, education, and cultural institutions.

Colleagues working together over a set of plans.

Our methodology guides every project from beginning to end

01

Ask.

We start by concentrating on the client and asking about their staff, customers and clients, visitors, services, mission, and space.

02

Listen.

We listen to our clients needs and concerns with an open mind.

03

Create.

We work together to create a solution that fits their needs.

Our Legacy

Baskervill has more than 125 years
of design excellence

Founded in 1897, today Baskervill is one of the nation’s oldest continually operating architectural firms with a growing global footprint. Our team is a diverse group of architects, interior designers, planners and engineers who are bold and collaborative, fueled by a passion for the profession and a fondness for strong coffee.

While a sense of history grounds us, it’s the idea that design can solve the problems of the future that keeps us inspired. We’re out to start a conversation about what great design really means and how it can transform the guest and patient experience, reimagine the workplace, and revitalize entire neighborhoods.
