We’re Powered by Purpose
In a crowded architecture field, what draws clients to USA, time and time again? While other firms may be motivated by continued expansion, USA is powered by design with forward-thinking purpose. “We create meaningful places for working, living, or learning,” says founder Paul Swartz. “And though we create them in a specific context of time, place, and space, they deliver lasting value.”
Committed to Achieving Balance
Enduring value calls for rigorous and interrogative creative exploration, powerful partnerships, and an ability to achieve balance between a client’s ultimate vision for its project and essential ground-level goals that address cost, compliance, and efficiency.
We engage our clients in the design process to develop a set of guiding principles by which we can gauge success every step of the way. This allows our clients to remain focused on their vision, while we bring it to life—ultimately delivering a project that upholds the integrity of their original idea while also meeting the budget and schedule.
Always True
Our experience, curiosity, and passion for architecture drives our determination to remain true to our clients, and the projects they entrust us with. Because each project is different, we put our intuition and enthusiasm to work to uncover a special design opportunity or solution that ignites our client’s imagination. This is what inspires us—deeply investing in the people, the process, and always doing the right thing.
Cultivating Camaraderie
To create living, breathing buildings that inspire people and organizations to be their best, we prioritize taking time out to share spirited moments as a team and to be our best selves, too. Maybe we’re playing softball, tubing down the Delaware on a Saturday afternoon, or throwing a last-minute pizza and ice cream lunch in the conference room to talk about work, our families, or the latest headlines. Whatever the event, we forge bonds and foster a positive energy that you can see and feel in every building we design.
