who we are
Since opening the doors to our Phoenix, Arizona-based architecture and interior design firm back in 2006, we’ve designed thousands of projects that bring together function & beauty in order to create effective, inspiring places to be. Our clients appreciate the combination of technical expertise and insightful planning that we bring to the table.
Not to mention, when clients work with us, they’re more than just a business partner; they become part of our family. That’s why we get to know them inside & out so we can tap into what already makes them successful and build on it. When it comes to executing designs — We go beyond expectations.
our firm at a glance
INTEGRATED BY DESIGN
We don’t believe in silos or rigid hierarchy. Here at triARC, we’re all about collaboration.
Our architecture and interior design teams work under one roof and often sit right next to one another, swapping ideas & energy that - in turn - drives our projects forward and creates stellar results for our clients.
Plus, with 20+ employees, we’re the perfect “Goldilocks” size - big enough to leverage our resources & portfolio to be competitive and small enough for our clients to experience a personal connection with our team and feel like they’re welcomed into the triARC family.
WOMAN-OWNED AND LED
In an industry where female leadership is a rarity, our unique team composition brings a fresh perspective and a transformative impact on the results we achieve for our clients.
At the helm, our women leaders bring an innovative perspective that shapes an environment standing out in creativity, collaboration, and genuine connection. Diversity is not just a buzzword; it's a driving force behind our success.
What truly sets us apart is our dedication to cultivating authentic relationships. Whether within our internal team, with clients, contractors, or representatives, we operate on a foundation of mutual support and trust. It's about creating a cohesive, empowered ecosystem where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
In a world where industry norms often lag behind, our cultural makeup is a reflection of our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the belief that diversity propels us and our clients toward unparalleled success.
