Norman Smith Architecture (NSA)
We are a small, client and design oriented architectural firm with an office located near Sperryville, Virginia. We provide direct interaction with every client from the initial client meeting to the final construction punch list. Our emphasis on design goes hand-in-hand with our extensive construction knowledge and experience. We apply that knowledge and experience to the design process to help ensure budgets and schedules are met and that we are designing a space and building experience that is beautiful, buildable, functional and maintainable over the life of the project. Our services include architectural design and consultation, code compliance reviews, constructability analysis and construction management for both residential and commercial projects.

At the same time, we are committed to providing imaginative design solutions that are well-grounded in construction technology and that are practical and efficient to build, as well as sensitive to and compatible with the aesthetics of the surrounding built environment. We do not see design skill and construction expertise as two unrelated traits but, instead, as traits that complement one another and benefit the project. We think good design and thoughtful analysis of the construction issues results in a final architectural design that meets our client’s aesthetic and functional needs within their budget . Each of our projects illustrates that design philosophy of combining a sensitive, modern aesthetic with practical construction knowledge within budget parameters. We are able to handle both small scale and large scale projects and we have established relationships with consulting engineers in Washington D.C., Virginia, Maryland and in other locations to assist us as part of the AE team.
