DGP Architecture is a Chicago-based architecture firm providing a full spectrum of architectural services, with a strong emphasis on commercial projects nationwide. Founded by Stephen Duguid in 2013, the firm brings experience across a wide range of sectors, including retail construction, tenant build-outs, mixed-use developments, multi-family housing, historic restoration, and construction management.

As a full-service firm, DGP Architecture is involved in every phase of a project—from feasibility studies, programming, and space and site planning through construction documentation and administration. We coordinate all required disciplines within a single Building Information Modeling (BIM) environment, allowing for greater efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration throughout the design and construction process.

From the firm’s inception, DGP Architecture was founded on the belief that exceptional client service and meaningful interaction set great firms apart. While many firms can deliver competent architectural solutions, maintaining strong, responsive client relationships throughout the life of a project is where we excel. We prioritize quick response times, proactive problem-solving, and clear communication to help facilitate a smooth and efficient construction process. Our team remains closely involved from initial concept through project close-out, a level of collaboration that can save clients significant time and cost by minimizing unnecessary changes and delays.

In addition to our strong design pedigree and extensive technical expertise, we pride ourselves on being readily accessible to every member of the project team. Our fees are highly competitive, and their value is further enhanced by the high level of service, engagement, and responsiveness we provide to each client.

If you have a potential project you would like to discuss, we invite you to contact us. We would be happy to schedule an initial consultation to help refine your ideas and explore design solutions tailored to your goals. Following this discussion, we can provide a detailed proposal incorporating project-specific concepts. In addition to working fully in BIM—allowing many issues to be identified early in the design process—we also offer photo-realistic 3D visualizations to help clients clearly envision the final result before construction begins.

We look forward to working with you.
