ABOUT FOSTER DALE ARCHITECTS

Foster Dale founded Foster Dale Architects, Inc. (FDA) in 1997 after having worked for well-regarded architectural firms in Chicago and Philadelphia. The firm is a small, team based practice that stresses unique solutions to architectural problems. We strive to listen well and to craft design that exceeds the expectations of our clients.

FDA specializes in custom residential projects and "urban infill" projects. In both of these project types, we try to design rooms that flow well and provide both abundant light and an inspiring spirit of place. We respect the neighborhood or urban context in which we design our projects, use innovative materials when appropriate and integrate a concern for the health of our planet. We believe that architecture has the power to delight people, and we strive to maximize that potential in our projects.

We believe in a team based architectural and construction process. We collaborate with talented engineers and consultants as needed during the design process and stay involved during construction. When a project is being built, we view our role as helping the contractors to understand the design vision that we have developed with our clients, and we are serious about being the advocate of our clients. We believe that architectural design and detailing that is informed by the way that things are built work best over time.
