Founded in 1986, Cooper Johnson Smith Peterson Architects, Inc. is an award-winning design firm with a successful record designing a variety of building types. Our design philosophy is to provide innovative architecture based upon traditional and classical principles. We accommodate modern building technologies and the demands of contemporary lifestyles. Project types include civic, resort, commercial, custom residential, multi-family, mixed-use, religious, educational, urban design and town planning. We have established a strong relationship with a select group of engineering and design consultants which has allowed us to simplify the design coordination process and provide our clients with the highest level of service. Much of our firm’s design reputation is based on the early success of our residential work, and most of our clients come to us through word-of-mouth referrals. Our residential work includes over thirty houses in the internationally-acclaimed Florida resort town of Seaside, and we have recently designed homes in Watercolor, Rosemary Beach, and Alys Beach. We were also selected to design Coastal Living magazine’s Idea House in 2005, and our work is often published in Southern Living, Florida Architecture, Florida Design Review, New Old House Journal, Period Homes, Custom Home and Coastal Living magazines. In addition, we have designed a large number of custom homes throughout the United States, Bahamas and the Caribbean for a select group of private clients.
