History

DCC architects is a minority-owned architectural design firm specializing in the programming, planning and design of civic, educational, commercial, retail and industrial projects.

Founded in 1970, our practice is based upon our strong commitment of exceptional service to our clients. This commitment is carried out through our passion for design excellence, technical expertise and dedication to the advancement of “green” architecture.

Our problem solving approach strives for innovation by first understanding the uniqueness of a client’s site, program needs, and design ambitions. We take the role of facilitators and integrate our clients’ values and brand into the design. This concept of communication guides our design philosophy and ensures design excellence.

Our local expertise gives us an intimate knowledge of the most cost effective and environmentally appropriate materials and methods required for the Southern Nevada area. This insight has contributed to DCC’s pioneering use of new building technologies. We are especially sensitive to the bidding climate and related impact factors. This knowledge is crucial and guarantees the success of our projects.

With several LEED™ Accredited Professionals on staff, we focus on addressing environmental concerns and preserving valuable natural resources.

DCC architects has long been distinguished by the consistency and personal involvement with which the principal and staff direct our projects. We are particularly proud of the number of clients who have returned for repeated services. This support has been earned through our careful attention to clients’ needs, schedules and budgets and our commitment to designing spaces of lasting usefulness and enduring pleasure.

Our promise to provide the highest level of service is as strong now as it has been in our 40-year history. It is through our strong commitment to our clients (and their ROI) that we have grown into a highly-acclaimed, results-oriented, innovative design firm with a reputation for meeting deadlines and budgets.
