MSR (Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd.) is an award-winning architecture and interior design firm committed to excellence. Since 1981, our firm has produced work of enduring value: buildings that are expressly right for their time and place and that culturally and physically age gracefully. Our projects are diverse in type, size, and location, with specific depth of experience serving library, office, cultural, higher education, and residential clients. The firm has earned a national reputation for both designing exceptional new spaces and, through preservation, adaptive reuse, and renovation, designing innovative ways to reuse buildings.
Our mission is to perpetuate a self-renewing practice. This has two meanings, each reinforcing the other. Internally, it means a place in which the practice of architecture is continually inspiriting—giving a daily sense of purpose and energy to our work. Externally, it means that the work we produce embodies a quality, worthiness and grace that brings more opportunities to create.
