Signer Harris Architects was established by William Harris in 1989 with a singular vision: to approach each project as a unique design challenge, informed by the underlying goals and aspirations of the client. Site, function, form, and an understanding of how people inhabit spaces are, therefore, addressed within a larger context of the client mission.

In 2008 Sherwood A. Butler III was appointed to Principal. Sherwood leads our robust Life Sciences practice, including our Lab Planning Group, which combines our client-focused approach with exceptional breadth and depth of technical expertise in research and process manufacturing.

Our orientation to design in the context of client mission enables us to:

• Create spaces of elegance and efficiency
• Define spaces that reflect our client's identities
• Be successful in a wide variety of projects types and sizes
• Innovate through cross-industry solutions
• Exceed client expectations, while remaining within tight time and budget constraints
