Founding principal Cathy Purple Cherry and her company are devoted to their clients, guiding them through every step of the design process. Passionate about their work, the team considers not only physical forms, but the emotional connections clients will have with their homes and the spaces within them. Active listening fuels the firm’s creative talent to achieve environments that are transcendently beautiful, comfortable, and serene.

The design of exceptional homes—from 3,000 square feet to 40,000 square feet and everything in between—requires thorough understanding of each client’s needs and desires. Our design team appreciates that individual aspirations are shaped by a lifetime of experiences.

Equally important to establishing the vision are site and context. We have extensive experience in designing for waterfront and mountain properties and understand how to utilize the sun’s path, views, and wind to determine proper siting and maximize design.

In support of the company’s residential architecture, the Purple Cherry Interior Design Studio provides seamlessly coordinated interior architecture and décor. Throughout the process, Purple Cherry Architects is available to coordinate all aspects of a project.

Purple Cherry Architects takes on engagements throughout the country and maintains offices in New York, NY; Washington, DC; Annapolis, MD; Charlottesville, VA; and Middleburg, VA.
