GROW architecture is rooted in the belief that design moves us forward

Our clients seek to grow and reimagine their physical places and spaces to align with the present and future needs of their community and mission.

Growing can be many things; an expansion outward, an act of going deep and inward, or a complete reinvention.

GROW was formed out of Lori Fitzgerald's decades of experience and deep passion working with mission-driven non-profits, community organizations and wholehearted individual clients. Our clients think of their spaces as their "home"; their work is personal and meaningful to them.

GROW excels at innovative, big-idea thinking and facilitation of the many complexities of the architectural design and construction processes.

GROW thrives by designing purposeful, intentional, meaningful spaces at the intersection of mission, community, and natural and built environments.
