Passion in Practice
Passion is the defining word for our firm and underpins our work ethic. We are dedicated to creating quality architecture for our clients and their communities. As owner architect David Payne expresses, “I wake up each day excited about the prospects of improving people’s lives through our designs. You know, God gives each of us a gift.” Working with my associate, architect Mark Lee, our collective goal is to assemble spaces in logical and harmonious ways that enrich the experience of worship, learning, or work. Engaging with clients in the design process excites us, as it allows us to craft solutions that truly fit their needs.
Experience and Expertise
With more than 50 years of experience and a substantial portfolio of successful projects, our primary focus has been on educational, church, and office facilities. Nevertheless, we consider ourselves “general practitioners” of architecture. Through thoughtful questioning and attentive listening, we bring your vision to life—often hearing clients remark, “That’s exactly what we envisioned!”
Commitment to Excellence
Payne Design Group Architects is recognized for its comprehensive, detailed, and well-coordinated construction documents. We maintain an honest and fair approach with contractors, insisting on adherence to all plans and specifications. Our commitment is to design affordable, attractive, and functional buildings that enhance the quality of life for those who use them.
A Vision for Longevity
Every project receives the same thoughtful treatment: we strive to create designs that honor the past, serve the present, and endure into the future. We look forward to showing you how we can turn your vision into reality.
