Center Studio Architecture

Specialties

David Arneson and Scott Harmon created Center Studio Architecture on June 1, 2004. Today the studio totals five people and occupies a storefront at Five Points in the historic center of downtown Durham. Our work is diverse and includes residential, office, restaurants, retail, mixed-​use, multifamily, renovations, new construction, and adaptive reuse of historic buildings.

We share a passion for good design, a commitment to the local community, and a firm conviction that the former can improve the latter. Rather than focusing on a particular style or type of project, we seek clients who understand the deeper impact that good design can have on their lives.
