Concordia means harmony. Our name is our mission. We are a team of architects, planners and creative experts based in New Orleans, Louisiana, who believe in the power of design to improve lives. Since 1983, our work and research has supported the creation of unique human-centered buildings and landscapes around the world.
We believe that the best design ideas emerge through collaboration; we see challenges as opportunities to find harmony within a project's ecosystem. Our team of creative experts leads clients and partners through the design process -- from early concept through completion -- guided by a shared vision for each project.Ultimately, we seek elegant alignment with our client's values, and results that enable communities to become more sustainable, resilient, healthy and connected.

Services
Concordia's mission is harmony by design: to create places and spaces that can help communities become more equitable, resilient, prosperous and connected. For nearly 40 years, our practice has served a broad range of public, private, institutional, civic and non-profit clients across the globe. With every project, we seek to align with the visions of our clients, the sensitivities of place, and the needs of everyday users.
Concordia's design work is driven by our belief that the best places and spaces strike a balance between timeless design principles (the common ground) and innovation (the cutting edge). We call this the "Common Edge." Designing with this in mind, we create unique buildings and landscapes that reflect the values of our clients and users, while promoting a more sustainable and healthy future for the entire community.
Concordia's office in Central City is on one of the most attractive commercial corridors of post-Katrina New Orleans. Since we facilitated the Central City Neighborhood Plan in 2004, moving to the community in 2016 felt like coming home. We're in storefront space on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard with big windows on the street, operating our cloud-connected firm in three states.
Concordia invites learners into our 30 plus years of co-design experience leading authentic, effective community engagement. Together, we can empower our communities to achieve greater ownership over decision making where they live. We strive to put equitable co-design processes at the center of community decision making.
