Van Curler Associates Architects was established in 1960 by Donald E. Van Curler AIA. Since that time Van Curler Associates has helped shape the built environment of the southeastern Michigan area and beyond by providing architectural services for small scale residential additions through high profile public institutions. The ability to react to each projects unique set of characteristics and requirements is what has made Van Curler Associates a desired architectural firm for over 40 years.

Not all projects are created equal. Some require an economy of cost and efficiency. Others need to stand out from the crowd. Understanding a client’s expectation for a project should be the architects’ first priority in fostering a productive relationship, which inevitably translates into the long-term success of a business. Van Curler Associates understands this and over four decades of clients and projects are a testament to its success. Our staff can provide expertise from the preliminary site planning process all the way to the completion of construction documents and beyond to assure your project is constructed the way it was envisioned. Our pool of knowledgeable consultants ensures the client receives the best possible technical advice on their project.

All Van Curler Associates projects use computer-aided design to facilitate the rapid and economical flow of a project. This is also of great benefit for future modifications and potential re-use of design ideas on subsequent projects. Eliminating the costly and time consuming need to reinvent a perfectly functioning wheel.

With hundreds of projects to its credit Van Curler & Associates Architects know that designing a building is an incredibly personal process. It is the physical extension of its occupant’s personality. That is why the use of quality materials and methods is so important in the design and construction of a project. Van Curler designed buildings have historically been highly desirable both in the new construction market and for those looking to re-occupy existing structures. Their reputation as thoughtfully designed, quality built projects is what has made Van Curler Associates Architects a continuing player in the southeastern Michigan market. They are buildings people can be proud of.
