Sanders Architecture

At Overland Partners, we are committed to preserving the legacy of Sanders Architecture, a firm founded by the visionary Christopher L. Sanders, AIA. Since its inception in 2009, Sanders Architecture has been dedicated to creating spaces that embody dignity, elegance, and functionality. The firm's dedication to its clients and team members has been exemplary, earning a reputation for sophistication and exceptional design.

Our Founding Philosophy

Chris Sanders, the founder and guiding force behind Sanders Architecture, was driven by a passion for creating spaces that bring people together. His dedication to this philosophy was evident in every project, from commercial and institutional buildings to residential homes. Chris's ability to connect with clients, colleagues, and the community was unparalleled. His respect for the built environment, attention to detail, and commitment to innovative design principles have left an indelible mark on the architectural world.

Our Story

In 2023, the legacy of Sanders Architecture continued with the formation of Overland Partners' Austin office. The firm's commitment to preserving Chris's legacy is embodied in its mission to maintain the highest standards of design, service, and architectural excellence. Our team of experienced architects, led by partners Catherine Craig, Jena Hammond Nichols, and Emily Kettlewell, is dedicated to continuing the work of Sanders Architecture.
