Markets We Serve
At SDFA, we approach every project with a deep understanding of its unique context, purpose, and potential. While our portfolio is diverse, our core focus areas fall within three primary markets: Commercial, Residential, and Community. Each market is approached with the same thoughtful, collaborative, and solution-oriented mindset that defines our practice.
Commercial
We work with business owners, developers, and institutions to create commercial environments that are both functional and inspiring. From mixed-use developments and retail storefronts to hospitality and office spaces, our commercial work is rooted in careful planning, code-conscious design, and a deep understanding of how built environments impact productivity, brand identity, and user experience. We balance design creativity with constructability, ensuring your project is not only visually compelling but also feasible and future-ready.
Residential
Residential design is deeply personal — it’s where people live, grow, and create memories. SDFA has worked on projects ranging from custom homes and additions to multi-family housing and remodels. Our process prioritizes the client’s vision, the site’s natural context, and smart use of space and materials. Whether it’s a modern off-grid cabin or an urban renovation, we focus on blending form and function to create homes that feel grounded, sustainable, and beautifully livable.
Community
We believe architecture has the power to elevate communities and serve the public good. Our community-based work includes religious institutions, educational facilities, and civic spaces designed to foster connection, inclusion, and purpose. These projects often involve multiple stakeholders, and we thrive in roles that require coordination, facilitation, and advocacy. We bring a socially conscious lens to every community project, with an emphasis on accessibility, sustainability, and long-term value.
