ABOUT ARCANUM ARCHITECTURE
Whether a building is commercial or residential, Arcanum believes it should complement the neighborhood or region. We visit each potential building site and research each community to discover its unique qualities and characteristics. This knowledge, combined with the use of natural materials and unique colors, produces a highly desirable space. Arcanum’s architecture is a creative blend of our clients' personalities and the community's unique character.
Arcanum is not a reflection of a single design philosophy; it is a design studio that relies on the collaboration between designer and client. Dedication to service and to quality of design has set Arcanum above the competition. The result has produced successful, long-term relationships with our clients. We pride ourselves on the fact that, since our firm was established in 1996, most of our business has come from repeat clients and referrals.
