The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation

Since 1987 we’ve been producing architectural designs in a collaborative, creative, non-departmentalized atmosphere, where architecture is a way of life, not just a profession. We believe the best solutions are born out of a process of collaboration so we work in an open studio where walls and doors are sparse and cubicles are nonexistent. With offices in Omaha, Nebraska and Red Oak, Iowa, our experienced staff of over 60 architects, interior designers, construction administrators, office assistants, and marketing specialists serve communities throughout the Midwest. We believe design is an act of optimism. It is the hope for creating a better future for the people who are touched by the design. We strive to create spaces that not only perform functionally, but also stir the imagination of their users while reconnecting them experientially to the world. Drawing from our team’s wealth of knowledge and experience, our design process engages our clients and aims to elicit an elegant, sensitive solution appropriate to each project.
