Seibert Architects offers the full scope of professional services for architecture and planning. The firm’s experience includes public sector projects, private residences, high-rise condominiums, commercial offices, historical restorations, educational buildings, and large-scale resorts.
Seibert Architects has received recognition for design excellence and its ability to solve architectural problems in a variety of work based on sensitivity to the Florida Gulf Coast environment and concern for its inhabitants. To that end, client participation is facilitated throughout the course of design to arrive at architecture that is programmatically and aesthetically reflective of client needs, site context, and budget.
We continue to meet each new project with creative and effective solutions that balance the built environment with the natural environment, creating a timeless architecture.
History
Edward J. “Tim” Seibert, FAIA, began his professional career in the Sarasota office of the world-renowned architect, Paul Rudolph. In 1955, he established his own firm in Sarasota and was nationally recognized early in his career as a leader in what is now referred to as the Sarasota School of Architecture. In 1995, Tim was awarded the AIA Florida Medal of Honor for Design.
His work was widely praised for demonstrating that excellence was possible even in small projects with minimal budgets. Using ordinary materials and strong geometrical forms, he made a new architecture remarkably suited to Florida’s semi-tropical environment.
As the scale and nature of his practice grew from small houses to include large and complex projects, Seibert and his design team demonstrated great versatility while continuing to explore and refine a design philosophy of articulate geometry and sculpturally elegant spaces.
Today, Seibert Architects PA continues this design legacy and upholds its commitment to architecture as art.
