Elizabeth Johnson, AIA, NCARB

Principal Architect, Owner

Beth has always had a passion for architecture and design. As a child, she was no stranger to her dad's basement workshop. Her skills developed having been given many opportunities to learn from real life experiences. From helping her father build a pool house, to many mission trips to Maine to assist on small construction projects repairing houses for the less fortunate, she has been exposed to much of the real world side of design. 

​

While earning her degree at Philadelphia University, Beth interned at 2 small firms, in Basking Ridge, NJ and Glenside, PA, focusing on residential and small commercial design. In 2008, Beth graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from a 5-year, accredited program at Philadelphia University. At this point, she started working a Philadelphia based firm, focusing on larger institutional and civic projects. The passion for residential work never left.
