We're thrilled to announce that Jeremy Davis has joined our Panama City office as Senior Architectural Designer!

With 16 years of experience in architectural design—including a strong foundation in structural and sheet metal design—Jeremy brings both depth and versatility to his work. He’s especially passionate about the possibilities of concrete, from its traditional applications to cutting-edge innovations like 3D-printed homes. At STOA, he’s excited to collaborate with the team on large-scale projects and contribute to impactful design solutions.

A longtime resident of Vernon, Florida, Jeremy also has a unique connection to the documentary world—his hometown was featured in a film by Errol Morris, the director behind ‘CHAOS: The Manson Murders’, and he even knew some of the colorful locals featured in it growing up.

We’re excited to have him on board!

Congratulations to Robert on his 23-year anniversary with STOA Architects!

This Earth Day, we’re grateful to call the Gulf Coast home.

Living and working near its pristine beaches means being surrounded by its beauty—and understanding the coastal environment that defines it.

At STOA Architects, that reality shapes how we design.

Coastal resiliency isn’t just about preserving shorelines—it’s about creating buildings that can withstand high winds, resist water intrusion, and perform in an evolving climate. From thoughtful material selection to careful detailing, every decision matters.

We believe good design doesn’t just respond to its environment—it’s built to endure it.

Last night in downtown Pensacola, members of the STOA Architects team had the privilege of attending the AIA Northwest Florida Women in Architecture Showcase—an evening dedicated to recognizing the talent, impact, and leadership of women across our region’s design community.

The exhibition brought together an inspiring group of professionals whose work continues to influence and elevate the built environment in Northwest Florida. We’re especially proud to celebrate two of our own, Senior Project Architect Jamie Stephens and Project Architect Jilian Carlo, for being featured among such accomplished peers.

STOA is proud to have four women architects on our team. In addition to Jamie and Jil being recognized in the showcase, Project Architect Mallory Garrett and Senior Project Architect Hannah Coggin were also in attendance to support and celebrate the evening.

With a steady flow of attendees throughout the night, the energy in the space reflected the strength of the Northwest Florida architecture and design community. A highlight of the evening was the guest speaker’s presentation, which shared Michelle MacNeil’s journey as an architect-developer—often working just ahead of the wrecking ball—a perspective that left a lasting impression.

How does Design-Build set us apart?

What sets our approach apart isn’t just integration—it’s experience.

Design-build at STOA is backed by a deep track record of delivering projects through a fully unified process—and by long-standing relationships with trusted Design-Build partners. These aren’t one-off collaborations; they’re partnerships built over time, grounded in mutual trust, shared standards, and a deep understanding of how to work together effectively.

With every project, we’re not reacting to challenges—we’re anticipating them, aligning decisions early, and keeping momentum from start to finish.

What that means for our clients:
- Greater confidence in the process
- Smarter decisions made earlier
- Fewer disconnects between design and construction
- A team that stays aligned every step of the way

This isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about delivering with intention, clarity, and accountability from day one.

From the first conversation to the final walkthrough, every step matters.

Our design-build process is a continuous collaboration—one that evolves from early team collaboration, through exploration and refinement, into detailed ex*****on and construction in the field. Each phase builds on the last, ensuring clarity, efficiency, and a shared vision from start to finish.

Not all Design-Build teams perform the same. Experience matters.

WHAT IS DESIGN-BUILD?
Design-Build is a project delivery method that brings design and construction together under one team. By aligning architects, builders, and clients early in the process, it reduces miscommunication, improves efficiency, and helps keep projects on schedule and within budget.

WHY IT WORKS FOR US
At STOA Architects, Design-Build isn’t an occasional service—it’s how we’ve worked for more than 20 years.
Over that time, we’ve partnered with dozens of Design-Build prime contractors—from large national firms to small regional teams—and delivered hundreds of projects using this method. That depth of experience positions us as a trusted Design-Build partner across a wide range of project types.

We understand what matters in Design-Build: responsiveness, clear communication, and design decisions that support construction—not slow it down. We’re often brought in as a trusted partner, and we stay engaged throughout the process—coordinating closely with the field and helping solve challenges early, before they impact cost or schedule.

THE RESULT
Better coordination. Fewer surprises. Projects that move forward the way they should.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!🍀

Today’s tradition of wearing green honors Irish heritage, identity, and a long-standing cultural legacy.

At STOA, that same color carries additional meaning within our work. “Green” in the built environment represents a commitment to high-performance design—prioritizing energy efficiency, material responsibility, and long-term environmental impact. Through integrated sustainable strategies and LEED-aligned frameworks, we approach each project with a focus on measurable performance and resilience.

While today recognizes the symbolism of green, our work extends that principle into the spaces we design—every day.
