WHO WE ARE
Neumann/Smith is comprised of creative problem solvers driven by pushing boundaries.
We value learning- from each other, from previous projects, and from our clients.
Since 1968 our firm has designed for practically every market sector, from higher education and workplace, to hospitality and mixed-use—and numerous others in between. Our talented team pulls from this diverse experience to develop unique designs, ensuring our team is always challenged and our clients’ goals are achieved.
At our offices in Southfield and Detroit, we work together in open and flexible studio teams under the hands-on leadership of Principals and Associates who have been with Neumann/Smith for decades. Our emphasis on mentorship results in well-rounded professionals who learn from—and with—each other every day.
