Place Architecture

PLACE is a team of creative design professionals committed to high quality architecture and urban design. We believe in the power of place- making to enhance our quality of life. Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable society through the thoughtful design of beautiful spaces, engaging buildings and walkable communities. Our diverse portfolio includes multi-family residential, commercial, and institutional projects. In addition to our architectural work, we provide urban design services including site plan studies for individual parcels and master plans for larger mixed-use districts. PLACE currently has 18 active projects representing over $300 million in construction value. Our design award winning projects include Armature Works, Graham at Gracepoint Apartments, 475 Condominiums, Seybold Lofts, Grand Central Brewhouse and the Morean Arts Center. Current projects include Orange Station, Cordova Inn, St. Petersburg Distillery and the Nolen Condominiums in St. Petersburg. Most of our work is located within the Tampa Bay area but elsewhere in Florida we have projects in Orlando, Gainesville, and Cape Coral. Tim Clemmons, Greg Glenn, and Jenny Miers are the three principles of PLACE. Tim is executive director and establishes the firm's strategic and design direction. The office is divided into two design studios with Jenny and Greg as studio directors. We have a staff of 15 including eight licensed architects and one licensed interior designer. Located in a distinctive mid- century building in downtown St. Petersburg, our studio space encourages interaction between employees and reflects our philosophy of design as a collaborative enterprise.
