Firm Description

We are more than a studio, more than architects, more than designers, we are a movement – a movement that creates the right solutions that perform beyond expectation, beyond definition. Our firm is built on the simple principle of enhancing every aspect of the human experience.

In 2007, the principal owners of Pendulum, Devan Case and Jonathan Cole shared a vision to open a practice devoted to strategy-oriented projects and client-centered relationships. As experts in an array of architectural types, we have focused our practice on community enhancement, specialty projects, and sports facility design. Just as a pendulum is smooth and balanced, in perpetual motion and elegant harmony, this visual metaphor aptly describes our design philosophy and process, our ability to capture the vibrant interaction between shape, motion, and form.

Although we are a small firm, A key differentiation betweeen Pendulum and large firms is the fact that when you select Pendulum you get dedication and direct involvement of the principal owners of the firm. We will NOT show up to the interview and make promises and then pass responsibility off to a junior staff member once we’ve been awarded the job. Our principal owners are “working principals” so the high expectations we have outlined for our staff is the same expectation of our principals as it relates to all aspects of project delivery including sketching, drafting, 3D modeling, project documentation, and exhibiting an overall knowledge of advanced industry technology and market trends.
