Firm Description

In 1983, David Sommers founded our northeast Ohio based firm on the simple value of “people come first.” In 2010, inspired by the notion of a firm rooted in culture, Jeffrey Meyers became a partner with hopes of providing others the opportunity to truly enjoy the architectural profession. In 2011 the firm supplemented culture with design, by hiring Eric Pros, who embraces and emphasizes the principle that design matters. Today the firm considers itself a culture-based design firm, led by five studio directors with diversity of thought, typology, and approach. These studios are Healthcare, Higher Education, Historic Preservation | Adaptive Reuse, Hospitality, and Public Safety | Civic Architecture. Together we strive to shape the world by inspiring the next generation of architectural professionals to embrace an unparalleled commitment to both culture and design.

DS Architecture, currently employs 19 team members, including 10 licensed architects and 9 design, technical, and administrative staff.
