Moody Nolan is much more than an architecture firm. At heart, we’re entrepreneurs. We adapt our talents quickly to address each client’s unique vision. In doing so, we create functional yet iconic design statements that respond to ever-evolving spaces, aesthetics and site dynamics. Simply put, spaces that perform and inspire.

Our firm designs more than $850 million of building construction each year. As the largest African American owned and managed design firm in the country, we maintain a strong commitment to diversity in our staff, as well as our approach to solving client problems. Our expertise in a broad range of industries allows us to think inventively and design solutions that are responsive to client needs.

As creative problem solvers, we meet you where you are, giving every client access to the right people and thinking, at just the right time. Headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, we have offices in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Covington, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, New York City and Washington, DC.

One of our distinguishing qualities is our embrace of responsive architecture - a process that requires creative minds to listen intently, analyze effectively and deliver innovative, functional and aesthetically pleasing facilities while addressing clients’ programs, budgets, and scheduling needs. Early in our firm’s history, we determined that this best-practice approach to satisfying our clients needed to be a firm-wide strategy. By providing multiple ideas, listening and working collaboratively with our clients, we create effective, custom solutions for each unique site, program, and community.
