Holly & Smith Architects feels it’s critical, therefore, to keep this most basic and essential thought at the forefront of the practice. “From our beginnings in 1980, we’ve been based upon the principles of creating and maintaining client relationships, providing creative and innovative design solutions, and providing a work product that surpasses client expectations,” says Mary Mowad Guiteau, IIDA, IFMA, associate principal and director of interior design.
They have had a strong focus on educational design work ever since landing their first big design contract with the Tangipahoa Parish School System. From there, they’ve completed design work for dozens of school systems across the state. Building upon that solid foundation, they’ve established an admirable pattern of growth, now operating offices in Hammond, New Orleans and Lafayette.
Holly & Smith Architects knows from experience that the best designs are those that result from an empathetic and collaborative process. To achieve that goal, they engage in an open dialogue and collaboration with their clients.
