Conn Architects has shaped Tallahassee’s commercial skyline for more than three decades. From Midtown to Cascades Park, our work anchors the restaurants, breweries, apartments, and mixed-use developments that define where Tallahasseeans meet, eat, live, and do business — The Edison, Proof Brewing Co., The Monroe, Jackson Commons, Glenview Place, and dozens more.

We’re not a boutique, and we’re not a generalist firm. We’re the architects Tallahassee developers, restaurateurs, business owners, and municipalities call when a project has to be right the first time — whether that’s the adaptive reuse of a historic downtown building, a ground-up multifamily community, or the healthcare facility serving thousands of North Florida families each year.

Our Tallahassee office is at 1960-C Buford Boulevard. Start a project — we’ll meet you at the site.
