About Us

We believe successful design is an exercise in creative problem solving and finding rational solutions to the client’s aspirations and desires. We are passionate about how each solution becomes reality.  We believe in teamwork, collaboration, communication and remain in contact with our clients during all phases of the design and construction process.  Your ideas in combination with our experience and expertise is what makes each project successful.

Our staff is experienced in computer-aided design, BIM modeling, architectural visualizations and cost control techniques. Through dedication and attention to detail, we make the process a fun and satisfying experience. Assessments of present and future program needs, as related to the facilities, is an added value that we provide exclusively to our clients. Our team of experts is skilled in providing leadership assistance and personal involvement for a successful project.

History

Freytag & Associates, Inc. Architects/Engineers was incorporated in 1975, a continuation of Freytag and Freytag Architects, a partnership of F.E. Freytag and Karl J. Freytag. The partnership was formed in 1950, following the private practice established in 1929 by F.E. Freytag. The firm has been continuously active in the profession of architecture since that time. The organization, having grown through the years, has an experienced and talented staff. We are able to offer a complete architectural, engineering and planning service.

Our office is located on Miami Avenue in Sidney, Ohio, in an 1884 restored Victorian home. In 1989, this historic structure was totally renovated to maintain the original character while functioning as a state-of-the-art design studio. The structure fosters a cohesive team oriented atmosphere while enhancing the surrounding community.

Exceed Our Clients’ Expectations

Our goal is to develop long-term, high quality relationships with all of our clients. A successful construction project is a direct result of good communication between the client and the design team implemented through sound project management. We are particularly proud of our strong reputation for design, production of clear concise construction documents, our history of project completion within the cost budget, thorough construction contract administration and follow-up. We look to provide our clients with a long lasting design that meets all of their programmatic, economic and scheduling needs. We do this with imagination, integrity and sincerity to make each project satisfying experience that exceeds our clients’ expectations.

 

Architecture For The Community

Architecture is the built environment serving human activity and interaction. Whether it’s a K-12 master plan, a house of worship or a renovation of an existing building, we believe architecture should respect the values of its community and provide a unique environment that enhances the community. We believe in serving our clients and their communities to the best of our abilities.

Our Team

Our dedicated team takes pride in working with, and listening to our clients. We stay in communication throughout the design process to discover the clients’ emotional desires and to determine the project’s functional needs. With that, we believe design is a team effort and we integrate the expertise of our consultants to deliver a collaborative design process that keeps our clients informed every step of the way. This collaboration and communicative approach allows us to fulfill our one common goal as architects and designers: deliver a creative, responsive and functional design that meets all of our clients’ needs.
