ABOUT NSPJ
NSPJ Architects has built a long-standing tradition of excellence in service and design, commitment to quality and devotion to create the best lifestyle environments for our clients. As a top architecture firm, NSPJ focuses on single-family residential homes, commercial projects, mixed-use, senior living and multifamily developments. We work with clients across the United States and internationally, and have the breadth of experience to create successful designs for any project. We are registered in 29 states and are quickly able to add new regions through NCARB reciprocity in an average of 30 days.
In collaboration, our Architects and Landscape Architects work together to create a truly holistic design approach for all types of projects. Combining art and science, landscape architects design and plan useful and visually appealing outdoor spaces by combining natural beauty with site features.
NSPJ has been involved in the tremendous growth that has characterized the Kansas City metropolitan since 1961. Our founders strongly believe in the importance of respecting the context of carefully proportioned and richly detailed architecture and efficient space planning. We believe design and detailing should respect the existing structure and properly blend into its neighborhood, while the interior spaces should most importantly serve our client’s daily needs.
The firm was founded in June 1961 by Howard Nearing, AIA, and since our inception has received commissions for more than 7,000 projects, including:
• Custom homes and villas
• Multifamily communities
• Entry monuments & gateways
• Clubhouses and amenity centers
