choose to thrive

The Corinthian capital symbolized death transforming into life for the ancient Greeks. 

I aspire to bring life into the world through my transformative designs.

Welcome to 

William Ross Architecture

I design places where people thrive. I'm an inspired designer and Architecture student who cares deeply about making places that help people thrive as we live, work, grow, and succeed.

Meet William Ross

Welcome to a sampling of work from my professional and academic portfolio, including my built projects, as well as my theoretical designs, research and analysis. 

I self started my own design business in 2021, which means I have experience managing the full scope of design work, including working directly with my clients, creating designs that satisfy and delight them, and even interviewing contractors, drafting contracts, specifying finishes, products, creating schedules, and managing the construction of my designs through to completion. In 2022, I also volunteered with Historic Rittenhouse Town in Philadelphia to assist with their historic preservation and community education programs on site. I am currently majoring in Architecture at Thomas Jefferson University, East Falls in Philadelphia. 

I hope you will consider leaving me a note at the bottom of the page so we can stay in touch. Lets build a thriving future together.
