SECTORS
At UNITE, we specialize in more than just one industry — because we believe architectural excellence transcends boundaries. From ministry spaces that inspire community, to fast-paced franchise environments, hospitality experiences that leave lasting impressions, and commercial spaces designed for productivity and growth — our work is grounded in purpose. While each sector brings unique demands, our process stays rooted in the same core values: integrity, creativity, and innovation. That’s why we’re not just experts in one field — we’re agile problem solvers with deep experience in many. Whether you're launching a new franchise location or reimagining a mixed-use development, we bring focused expertise shaped by experience — and a versatile mindset that adapts to your vision, your industry, and your goals., we bring the insight of a specialist and the flexibility of a generalist — without compromise.
MINISTRIES
Designing sacred spaces requires more than technical skill — it demands understanding. At UNITE, our connection to ministry is personal. Many of our team members have spent years not only designing churches and ministry spaces but also serving within them. We’ve sat in the pews, worked behind the scenes, and walked the halls — as staff, volunteers, and committed attendees. That lived experience gives us a unique sensitivity to the rhythms, challenges, and aspirations of faith-based environments.
We approach each project with a deep respect for the mission behind the ministry. Whether you're expanding or downsizing your property, planning a multipurpose facility, or creating a space for outreach and community engagement, our team brings both architectural excellence and heartfelt understanding. We design environments that reflect your values, support your ministries, and make room for growth — both spiritual and practical.
QSR AND FRANCHISES
Fast-paced environments require clarity, speed, and precision — not just in operations, but in design. At UNITE, we’ve partnered with national quick-service restaurants, retail rollouts, and franchise networks across industries, bringing consistency and creativity to spaces that need to scale. But what sets us apart isn’t just our portfolio — it’s our understanding of the system.
We know how to bridge the gap between brand standards and local execution. Whether you're leading a franchise network or launching a new location, we speak both sides of the equation — ensuring each build aligns with your brand while adapting to the nuances of local codes, jurisdictions, and conditions. Our team is equipped to work nationwide, with the infrastructure and licensure in place to support projects in nearly every state — and the ability to mobilize quickly wherever you’re expanding.
From site adaptation and prototyping to new store development and conversions, we deliver architectural solutions that support your growth, reinforce your brand, and keep your buildout process smooth and streamlined.
HOSPITALITY
In hospitality, every decision shapes the guest experience — and every site comes with its own challenges. At UNITE, we support developers in bringing branded hospitality projects to life with design solutions that are as adaptable as they are intentional. From site planning and master planning to full architectural services, our team is equipped to guide projects from concept through completion.
We’re most valuable when we’re brought in early. Our experience navigating brand standards, zoning considerations, and regional site constraints allows us to identify challenges before they become delays. Developers appreciate our ability to solve problems creatively and keep projects moving — especially when timelines are tight and expectations are high.
Whether you're working within the parameters of an upper mid-scale hotel brand or exploring the possibilities of a high-end resort, we bring structure to complexity and clarity to every phase. Our process is flexible, responsive, and grounded in years of cross-sector design experience — with a focus on achieving both operational efficiency and memorable, market-ready design.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
Commercial developments demand a balance of vision, function, and return on investment. At UNITE, we bring architectural insight to every stage of development — from early site planning to project execution — helping developers and investors shape spaces that work for tenants, users, and long-term value.
Our experience spans large retail centers, warehouse and industrial spaces, self-storage facilities, and master-planned commercial districts. We understand the zoning, code, and logistical considerations that drive commercial site development — and we know how to design with flexibility, scalability, and future adaptability in mind.
Developers trust us for our responsiveness, our understanding of how spaces function in the real world, and our ability to navigate the approval process efficiently. Whether you're building a single asset or an entire commercial campus, we help you move forward with confidence — grounded in architectural clarity and backed by deep experience.
