Qa Skyview

QA+M Architecture was founded in 1994 by David Quisenberry in Marlborough, CT. Initially called Paragon Design, the firm provided architecture and construction management services. In 1999, Paragon Design relocated to Farmington and divided into two separate firms. Paragon Design continued to provide high-quality architectural services to a variety of client types, while the construction services split off into Clermont Construction Corporation.

In 2002, Tom Arcari joined the firm as a partner and the name changed to Quisenberry Arcari (QA) Architects. During the first several years of QA's existence, a majority of work focused on residential and capital improvement projects across multiple genres, including municipal, recreation, commercial, health care, and multi-family/senior housing.

In 2010, Rusty Malik became the firm's third partner and expanded the firm's capabilities to provide full design services for education clients. In 2017, the firm acquired Smith Edwards McCoy Architects (SEMA), a noted Connecticut firm recognized for its influential work in education design, adaptive reuse and preserving Connecticut's architectural heritage of civic buildings, schools, museums, and performing art facilities.
