In the “dim mists of antiquity”, architects were the go-to-people for solving problems. They were connected to all the right resources, provided consultation to avoid unseen mistakes, planned and coordinated all activity to unify the team, and added that special touch of design to give the functional project style. Sedgewick & Ferweda Architects have been providing these services and enjoyed being the “Go-To-Team” for its clients since opening for business in 1958!
