Ritter Architects

At Ritter Norton Architects, we believe passionately that good design has the power to positively impact people's lives and enhance the communities in which we live, work, and play. We approach every project, no matter how extravagant or modest the scale, function, and budget, with the same rigorous commitment to design excellence and outstanding client service. Every project is seen as an opportunity for excellence: an opportunity to enhance and build communities through inspirational design; an opportunity to creatively solve complex problems and challenges to improve people's daily lives; an opportunity to build meaningful and lasting relationships with our clients and colleagues; and an opportunity to grow personally and professionally.

Our award-winning team of architects and designers is dedicated to providing user-friendly, thoughtful, innovative, budget-conscious, and environmentally sensitive design solutions to meet each client's unique needs and aspirations. We believe that the best ideas and solutions come from tapping the knowledge, insight, and creativity of our talented design team and our clients. We work collaboratively both within the office and with our clients and foster clear, open, and honest communication from the earliest stages of concept design through the final details of construction.

We are proud of our history and our achievements, including numerous awards for design excellence. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in every aspect of our work, from the initial consultation to the final construction phase. We are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals and creating spaces that inspire and enhance the lives of those who use them.

Our Purpose

Enhancing Communities Through Inspirational Design

At Ritter Norton Architects, we believe it is our purpose as architects and designers to discover, embrace, and make the most of every opportunity to help make the world a better place through thoughtful and conscientious design. We are committed to using our skills and expertise to create spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional, sustainable, and meaningful to the communities they serve.

Our Approach

User-Friendly, Thoughtful, Innovative, Budget-Conscious, and Environmentally Sensitive Design Solutions

Our design process is centered around listening carefully to our clients and uncovering important factors and meaning often not initially verbalized. We believe that the best designs come from a deep understanding of the project's context, programmatic needs, budget constraints, community impact, and sustainable strategies. We work collaboratively with our clients and design team to create innovative, humane, and poetic design solutions that meet the unique needs and aspirations of each project.
