Josh McCullar Architects


About

Josh McCullar Architects pllc is a full-service Architecture and Design firm creating exceptionally crafted site specific and meaningful projects that enliven and bring purpose to the places we inhabit.

We create the places that establish and cultivate memories and relationships for vision-driven clients ranging from private family residences on urban and rural sites, pool & spa, art galleries & studios, church & sacred space, and modern landscapes. From our Richmond, VA studio, we serve clients throughout the East Coast regions and the South.

Ethos

As we are guided by a deep belief in the power of design to transform the simplest rituals of our lives, we aim to make places of evolutionary beauty - that celebrate the passage of time - and we believe that architecture at its best, strengthens the inherent qualities of the landscape to become a clarifying agent in affirming a sense of place.

It is through place-making, that we manifest the most fundamental task of architecture – to make shelter. Our buildings are extensions of the landscape, responsive to context, filled with natural light, and crafted of authentic and natural materials. 

Buildings should be beautiful and well-crafted, because the most sustainable building is a permanent one. To achieve this, we foster a symbiotic union between architecture and construction - as such the conceptualization of design must be inseparable from how it is to be made. In each project, we seek a collaborative relationship with our clients, the contractor, and tradespeople who will execute the work.

We design private residences and additions, cultural, and community spaces - each striving to create places of Authenticity, Beauty, and Meaning. We listen first, engage, and are inspired by our client's deepest aspirations. While remaining committed to the art of design, we provide a high level of focus to solve pragmatic needs, and transform constraints into exceptional opportunities.

Josh McCullar, RA, NCARB

see full biography & credentials

Firm Principal, Josh McCullar, has 22 years of experience, and founded his independent practice in 2016 to pursue a curated body of work focused primarily on bespoke houses, sacred space, places for art, and the design of architectural landscapes - much of which often involves the design of carefully planned “insertions” of modern design within historic contexts. The result heightens the experience of both.
