Architect Firm in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte Commercial Architects

AB Group designs offices, retail stores, restaurants, hospitality spaces, and tenant improvements. Our commercial architecture work considers your operations, circulation, property conditions, and the changes needed to accommodate your proposed use.

Charlotte Residential Architects

Our residential architecture services include custom homes, additions, and renovations. We develop floor plans and exterior designs around household needs, site conditions, design preferences, and your construction budget. For existing homes, we consider how the proposed changes connect with the current layout and structure.

Multifamily and Mixed-Use Design

We work with developers on apartments, townhomes, and mixed-use buildings. Our planning considers unit layouts, circulation, building access, and the relationship between the proposed development and its site.

Interior Design

AB Group provides commercial and residential interior design, including space planning, layout coordination, and finish and material selection. When architecture and interiors are included in the project scope, we develop the interior direction alongside the building design.

Industrial and Warehouse Design

Our architectural services support warehouse, storage, logistics, and light industrial projects. We consider daily operations, movement through the building, code requirements, and future flexibility when developing the layout and design.

Permitting Support

We prepare architectural drawings and coordinate supporting documentation for permit submission and review. Our team can also address design-related review comments and update drawings within the agreed project scope.

Coordinated Engineering Support

AB Group coordinates structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering with appropriately licensed professionals. We also provide in-house civil engineering in North Carolina. The required disciplines and deliverables depend on the property, proposed work, and project agreement.

From Early Planning to Architectural Permit Documents

Before detailed design begins, AB Group can review available property information and explore how your intended use and proposed layout fit the site or existing building. This early work helps identify the design questions, documentation, and consultant input your project may need.

As the design develops, we prepare architectural drawings and coordinate the services included in your agreement. Charlotte projects may involve City of Charlotte zoning or land development review alongside Mecklenburg County building permitting, depending on the property and proposed work.
