Thrive Architecture

Thrive is a Charlottesville, Virginia-based architecture firm focused on design for sustainability and wellness, across numerous project types. We offer an exceptional level of service to our clients, and we nurture relationships with clients and project partners alike that enrich the buildings and spaces we create together. Our work is diverse--intentionally so--and reflects the great breadth of our interest, passion, and experience. You’ll find common themes in our approach to design—open and interconnected spaces, a fresh and modern expression, authentic materials, and crisp detailing—collectively reflecting a unique sense of place. At the same time, we never lose sight of our customers’ needs and wishes, and endeavor to make the design experience as rewarding as the building project itself. Thrive integrates innovative design with an abiding concern for stewardship of the built and natural environments. With integrated and cost-effective sustainable design strategies, we help our clients increase productivity and minimize operational costs, while simultaneously improving occupant health and well-being. With our partner consulting firms, we offer a full range of engineering and allied design services, providing coordinated, sole-source design solutions for your entire building project. Thrive was founded by Steve Davis, a registered architect and recognized sustainable design leader, with over twenty-five years of experience designing award-winning projects for institutional, corporate, industrial, and residential clients.
