Clark & Associates

At Clark+Associates Architects, we've dedicated ourselves to preserving and advancing the architectural wonder of Memphis and beyond. For over two decades, our firm has been driven by a passion for creating spaces that are not only beautiful but also functional and sustainable. We believe that great architecture is about more than just great design; it's about a sense of place, a sense of connection between the building and the people who will use it.

Our Philosophy

We understand that every project, from large-scale public works to modest small business renovations, is crucial to the future. Our approach is centered around usability, community integration, and sustainability. We study a community and integrate our designs into that community, often involving the adaptive reuse of existing structures. This philosophy has guided us in creating a diverse portfolio that includes public buildings, commercial spaces, and residential projects.

Our Services

Our services range from design and preservation to building and health and healing projects. We've had the privilege of working on notable projects such as the Mississippi River scale model at Mud Island Park, Cancer Survivor's Park, and the Memphis Botanic Garden's Blecken Pavilion. We've also designed golf clubhouses, soccer complexes, and state parks, among others. Each project is a testament to our commitment to creating spaces that serve the community and promote a sense of well-being.

Our Team

Our team is led by R. Larry Clark, who has devoted his career to the design and preservation of public buildings. With extensive experience in adaptive re-use and complicated building codes, Larry has been instrumental in shaping our firm's philosophy and approach. His dedication to creating spaces that are both functional and beautiful has inspired a new generation of architects.
