A beautiful day on the green ⛳️
Design Development Architects was proud to participate in the NRCA’s Annual Golf Classic at Hasentree Golf Club, where we also had the pleasure of serving as a meal sponsor. This annual tradition brings together great people for a day of fun, connection, and friendly competition—and we’re grateful to be part of it.

Supporting organizations like North Raleigh Christian Academy is one of the many ways we stay connected to the communities we serve. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event!

The celebration continues at Design Development Architects! Today, we’re recognizing another incredible milestone — Jonathan Medlin’s 26-year anniversary with our firm. 🎉

Over the years, Jonathan has played a vital role in shaping communities through his thoughtful design of schools, churches, office spaces, and many other impactful projects — with a level of creativity and style that elevates each space. His talent, dedication, attention to detail, and steady leadership have left a lasting mark not only on our work, but on our team as well.

Thank you, Jonathan, for 26 years of hard work, creativity, and yes — the humor that keeps us going. We’re grateful and proud to have you as part of the Design Development Architects family and look forward to what’s ahead!

This Earth Day, we’re reflecting on the role design plays in shaping a more sustainable future.

As architects, our work sits at the intersection of creativity, responsibility, and long-term impact. Every material choice, every system we specify, and every space we shape—including how we bring in and shape natural light—contributes to the environmental footprint of the built environment.

At our office, we strive to integrate sustainability into our design approach wherever possible. From prioritizing energy efficiency, natural light, and low-impact materials to designing for adaptability and longevity, we aim to create spaces that respect both people and the planet.

Earth Day is a reminder that thoughtful design can be a powerful tool for positive impact. The decisions we make today shape the communities we serve—and the environments where future generations will learn, gather, and grow.

Let’s continue to design with intention. 🌍

A great day on the green ⛳️
Design Development Architects was proud to participate in the 13th Annual Trinity Academy Golf Classic at Wildwood Green Golf Course and sponsor Trinity Academy’s athletic program. It was a beautiful and fun day!

Over the past decade, the program has more than doubled, now supporting 580+ student-athletes and 80+ coaching positions. We’re honored to support Trinity Academy and its continued impact on students and the broader school community.

We look forward to next year’s event!

We celebrated an incredible milestone—40 years in business! 🎉 Our team marked the occasion with a celebratory lunch, followed by an office gathering complete with dessert and a champagne toast. It was a meaningful moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and the people and projects that have shaped us along the way.

We are deeply grateful to our clients, partners, and team members—past and present—whose support, creativity, and collaboration made this milestone possible.

Here’s to continue to design, innovate, and grow in the years ahead.

Today, Design Development Architects celebrates 40 years in business. 🎉

What began in 1986 as Jim Sherrer’s childhood dream has grown into a thriving, relationship-driven firm delivering more than 100 projects each year. From the days of hand drafting with lead and ink to today’s technology-driven design environment, we’ve remained grounded in what matters most: our people, our clients, and our commitment to thoughtful, enduring design.

We’re especially proud that more than 70% of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals — a testament to the partnerships we’ve built over four decades. For us, it’s always been about more than architecture — it’s about collaboration, trust, and creating spaces that bring our clients’ visions to life.

To our incredible team, clients, and community: THANK YOU for being part of our journey. This milestone is yours as much as it is ours.
Here’s to honoring where we started — and building what comes next. 🏗️

Looking forward to next year!
