Berardi + Partners was established in 1979 as Berardi/Plaisted Architects in German Village, a historic district of Columbus, Ohio. Founding Partner George Berardi endeavored to create a firm that serves and satisfies each of our client’s needs through effective design and planning. Our firm culture is grounded in family values and respect, both with our associates and our clients. For this reason, we view our firm as an extension of our family and communities we serve.
For nearly 40 years, we have maintained steady and consistent growth which started with the hiring of Chris Bruzzese in 1981 as the first associate, and Partner since 1992. With focus on service to our clients and community, George and Chris have grown the firm to over 50 associates contributing to over 900 projects.
At our firm, we are driven by a deep passion for the communities we serve, and we seek out clients who share this commitment to making positive impacts. We prioritize personal, meaningful connections over mere transactions, valuing the relationships we build with our clients and partners. These partnerships, nurtured over the years, are the foundation of our success and pride. Additionally, we are dedicated to designing innovative spaces that are not only functional but also sustainably focused, ensuring that our work contributes to a better future for the communities we care about.
SERVICE. NON-CORPORATE. PARTNERSHIPS THAT FORM RELATIONSHIPS. SUSTAINABILITY.
