Craddock-Cunningham Architectural Partners will substantially improve the visual and functional “built” environment through creative and cost-effective architectural design; efficient, high-quality engineering integration and coordination; pedestrian-oriented planning and community development; environmental consciousness; strategic building ownership and development; entrepreneurial arbitrage; supportive and progressive employment policies and work environment; and adaptive use of historic and older buildings.

Private, independent schools and colleges have a unique set of planning and design needs, which are entirely different from public schools and state-owned universities. Craddock-Cunningham Architectural Partners will help to significantly improve these institutions as learning environments for students, as working environments for teachers and administrators, and as respected and attractive community institutions in the localities they are located.

Our culture since World War II has seen a dramatic exodus from traditional neighborhood centers and downtowns to suburbia. This new development has often lacked any regional design references, and has rapidly eliminated perimeter green belts. Buildings left behind in the inner city are often stronger, and more attractive with better access to existing utilities, parking, and roadways. When developed, these existing structures cause far less environmental impact than new construction. Craddock-Cunningham will be a leading design firm in Virginia in bringing new life to old and historic buildings, and in renewing downtowns and traditional neighborhoods.

One’s home or apartment is their most personal and intimate connection to the world of design and construction. Craddock-Cunningham Architectural Partners will manage and develop each residential project to reflect the highest aspiration of our clients, whether a basement renovation or multi-million dollar, single-family home.

Nowhere does the value of our creativity show up more succinctly than in our retail office and other commercial planning and design. Whether the project is a restaurant, grocery store or an office building, the image of the property and the comfort of the users goes straight to the bottom line.

We all take tremendous pride in the public building that represent the communities where we live and work. Libraries, courthouses, museums and service headquarters all reflect the quality of the government to which they serve. At CCAP we “adopt” the pride and responsibility of designing municipal facilities that are functional, cost effective and attractive.

Interpretation of the “congregative spirit” of one’s church or synagogue is one of the most challenging and enlightening endeavors available to designers. At Craddock-Cunningham Architectural Partners, we will carefully synthesize the varied opinions, emotions, and deeply-held beliefs within a church into one consensus design. We will design and manage the construction of facilities that uphold each congregation’s highest spiritual expectations in a functional, efficient, and attractive development.
